Papiro - Rev

Review by Stacy Rose

Rev, the latest album by Papiro, is a mesmerizing journey through experimental soundscapes and ambient textures. The Italian trio, comprised of multi-instrumentalists Andrea Poli, Raffaele Benevento, and Salvatore Fragione, have crafted an immersive sonic landscape that blends electronic and acoustic elements with a keen sense of atmosphere and mood.

From the opening track, "Eloise," with its hypnotic rhythms and ethereal melodies, to the hauntingly beautiful "Echelon," with its layers of shimmering guitars and atmospheric synths, Rev is a masterclass in sonic experimentation. The album's standout track, "The Golden Section," is a sprawling epic that builds from a delicate piano motif to a soaring crescendo of swirling guitars and pounding drums.

Throughout the album, Papiro showcases their impressive range and ability to create music that is both challenging and accessible. The album's closing track, "Abyss," is a hauntingly beautiful piece that showcases the trio's ability to create moments of quiet introspection amidst the chaos of their soundscapes.

Summary by Stacy Rose

Rev is a stunning achievement that showcases Papiro's talent and creativity. It is a must-listen for fans of experimental and ambient music.
