Open To The Sea are Enrico Coniglio (Lemures, Aqua Dorsa) and Matteo Uggeri (Sparkle In Grey).

"Tales From An Underground River" was begun in winter 2019 by Coniglio when he recorded two long and multi-layered sets of improvisation with piano, guitar and synths. This material was sent to Uggeri who added and removed sounds, arranged tracks with a few beats and a wide variety of instruments (violin, drums, trumpet, cello).

Over the following 3 years, the tracks were then dismantled and re-assembled, while a concept started to take form from amongst the sounds. The floating and fluid but mysterious nature of the tracks conceived the "underground river" idea. A continuous stream of sound, from ambient to progressive, to post rock, embracing jazz and an overall new-wave melancholic attitude.

The titles of the tracks come from a poem which coalesced into the "tales" told by the waters. The artwork is a painting by Matteo's mother, the animator Roberta Casini who passed away shortly before the record was released.

Ltd x 300 copies in a 6-panel digipak with printed vellum cover.
