La Blanche Alchimie
The Italian psych - pop duo, La Blanche Alchimie, is formed by Federico Albanese and Jessica Einaudi. They started making music together in March 2007. After a period of exploration and experimentation, playing with the possibilities inherent in fusing torch melodies, acoustic-rock sounds and cool beats, they found their own unique voice. It was the right time to record the nine original tracks that compose their homonymous album, ‘La Blanche Alchimie'. Their songs are like magic dreams made of fairy tales and refined talking instruments. Federico is a multi-instrumentalist who faces music in a sophisticated and whirling way. His piano and guitar notes create the ideal musical tissue for Jessica's musical perceptions; her mercurial and emotive vocals carry words of passion and unstableness. Their songs are very individual, unquestionably romantic but at the same time intringuinly skewed and dreamlike exploration of love in all its facets. The harmonies and the continual dialogue between voice and music produce a very original sound. La Blanche Alchimie had a remarkable success during their live shows, and they have the ability to bring to life the romantic and decaying atmospheres interweaved in their songs. In 2008 they played at In The City Festival in Manchester and took part of some of the most important festivals in Italy. Their first album got released June 2009.
