Red Light Skyscraper are an instrumental band based in Siena (Italy). Their sound goes from post-rock to... other "planets"! I remember when during the late 90s nobody was able to describe the wave of bands like Mogwai, GYBE and in multiple reviews, critics were labelling their sounds like "space rock". There is something about Red Light Skyscraper that definitely has that vibe but it partially describes their sound and it's not 100% accurate! Essentially, you need to listen and become completely pulled and absorbed into it!
Red Light Skyscraper after a number of releases, available on their BandCamp page, has returned with a new single:
After a lovely conversation with Carlo (guitarist, keyboard and narrative voices) I took the chance to ask him to prepare a playlist of his influences or just something that he would want to share with us or better .. WITH YOU!
Enjoy!
