Blue Willa

dear Listener, you have just run into Blue Willa, which is both a record and a four-piece band. Continuing a story which lasted seven years and three records so far, we decided to carry on our pursuit for a sound that would fit neatly onto our ideas asking a person we unquestionably loved to help us fulfill it. We called on Carla Bozulich, whom we had met in Florence some four years ago, and she immediately got involved and interested in our plans. We spent ten days in the Italian countryside, working side by side with her and our sound engineer, Davide Cristiani. Carla took care of our songs and sounds, proposing shapes and a whole new imagery for them. She made our sounds feel aquatic, ringing and overturned: a sort of underwater rock music from the Thirties. This music then went on to be mixed and fixed on the Himalayan mountainside and in Paris: it is a pleasant thought for us to imagine that something from these places – as well from our provinces got entangled and caught inside these songs. Blue Willa is the debut album by the Italian art rock quartet bearing that same name. The album is produced by Californian musician Carla Bozulich. www.bluewilla.com
