Suspended somewhere between the intricate rhythmic instrumental work of 90’s Chicago Post Rock bands and inspired by the iconoclastic attitude of the french “Nouvelle Vague”, Dilatazione manage to weave a wonderfully unique sound.
Over the last two years Dilatazione have gathered a large European fan base and a trail of glowing reviews for their live performances playing at such European and international festivals as Sete sois sete luas, No Silenz Fest, Cinema Blast, Rockcalvi.
Their most recent album, "Too Emotional for Maths" is a rhythmically dense and intricately melodic piece of cinematic rock. The band construct a flexing, woven city of sound from muscle and light. Guitars and drums tumble perfectly in and out of each other leaving new shapes in their wake.
