The LËV debut with an EP titled “The invasion of polynomial entities” released today by the labels I Make Records / XXXV Live distributed by Believe digital. The group with electro-nostalgia and trip hop sounds anticipated the record release with the video-single “Une Étoile”. In addition to the best digital stores, you can also listen to the entire 8-track work on Bandcamp or Youtube.
LËV, a name that pays homage to the great masters of Russian literature, are a musical anomaly in the colorful Neapolitan scene: they do not sing in their mother tongue but alternate English, French, Portuguese and Italian, constituting a project of unpublished works that fuses electronic and acoustic musical textures. Their music is rooted in the hybridization between the concept of music/machine and the live experience of its instrumentalists.
The group, made up of Federica Mottola, Lucio Leone, Pasquale Gentile, Stefano Pinto and Antonio Canciello was born in 2021 with the aim of creating a fusion that integrates electronic music in a live process of musical inspiration from the late 90s. A movement that questions the role of the machine in relation to the "played" instruments and vice versa.
“The invasion of polynomial entities” will be presented live with a showcase on February 20 at the Auditorium Novecento in Naples opening for the Belgian violinist, producer and actress Catherine Graindorge already alongside Iggy Pop, Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Debbie Harry and Mark Lannegan, Chris Eckman, Hugo Race, Pascal Humbert and Bertand Cantat, John Parish and Andrea Schroeder.
