Uncle Acid and the Dead Beats - "Ritorno All'oscurità" - Nell’ Ora Blu - Rise Above Records Kevin Starrs

Uncle Acid and the Dead Beats have unleashed "Nell Ora Blue. We are looking at one of the tracks from the album Ritorno All'oscurità," a track that pulls listeners into a hauntingly familiar, yet eerily unique soundscape. Where nostalga and the sinister still allure.

"Ritorno All'oscurità" along with many other track from the album feel like the perfect soundtrack to a lost 70s horror flick. According to Kevin Starrs the album was inspired by films like - Things like Five Dolls for an August Moon (1970), The Fifth Cord (1971), and All the Colours of the Dark (1972) a loved Edwige film and more.  

Expect a tape warping warm vintage production reminiscent of an era where analogue ruled and digital was but a distant dream. This particular song's title, translating to "Return to Darkness," is a fitting nod as it almost drives you from a dark period, into another one ahead at the next crossing, a sort of quite atmosphere but one where you know you are sadly having to go back into the dark again. A wonderful penchant for dark, narrative-driven music.



Uncle Acid and the Dead Beats have carved a niche with their cinematic approach to music, each track feeling like a chapter in a chilling tale. Their ability to evoke vivid imagery through sound is unparalleled, making Nell’ Ora Blu, not just an album, but a sit down, and enjoy the whole experience session album, which takes you on a voyage. It feels like anyone who might be a fan of music from the classic period of cinema, will easily pick this up. Mirroring the Italian Horror films during the ’70s and early ’80s. I believe fans will really instantly realise this is worth a listen.

The guitar of "Ritorno All'oscurità" tell of a voyage, gliding through an episode of dark incantation, listeners are transported to a bygone era where horror reigned supreme on the silver screen. 

It's a journey back to a time when music and film were inextricably linked, and Uncle Acid and the Dead Beats are the perfect guides through this shadowy, sonic landscape.
