The soundtrack will be released worldwide on limited edition, crystal clear LP next December 1st via Milan based label Record Kicks.\nThe new thrilling episodes of Blanca Season 2 follows the success of the first season, that was aired worldwide on Netflix, M6 France and Telecinco Spain. Accompanying the journey is once again the original music of CALIBRO 35 the Italian \"cult\" cinematic combo active for over 15 years and with a fan base that includes superstars such as Dr.Dre, Jay-z and Damon Albarn. Made up of 20 tracks in total, the OST was entirely composed by CALIBRO 35 that created the sound universe of BLANCA: an impressive and choral work, which has engaged all the components of the band for a long time, giving the them the opportunity to develop a very vast soundscape.\n\"It's the first time that we deal with the creation of a 'season 2' and we discovered that the creative process can be very different\" Calibro 35 says. \"In the first season, we had to build from scratch a sound and musical world consistent with the idea that Jan had (Michielini, director and showrunner of the series); this time, however, we had to develop that already existing world further, in order to describe the new stories and new different characters of the second season. There had to be undiscovered musical territories, that forced us to step out of our comfort zone.\" The result is that on the 20 tracks of the ost, the heavy dose of Calibro's signature funk grooves of tracks such as \"Badanti, \"Carignano\", \"Cambio di Stagione\" or \"Sampierdarena\" is mixed with more moody and soulful tunes, world music, opera and atmospheres à la John Carpenter. Amongst the album's highlights worth definitely a mention the Opening and End titles that feature the voices of Arya, MEI and Tahnee Rodriguez. Essential contribution to the recordings were made by Francesca Biliotti - mezzo soprano of the Monteverdi Choir, Valeria Sturba - exceptional multi-instrumentalist of the avant-garde music group OoopopoiooO, Rahma Hafsi and Elisa Zoot.\nDescribed by Rolling Stone as \"the most fascinating, retro-maniac and genuine thing that has happened to Italy in the past few years\", Milan-based Calibro 35 enjoy a worldwide reputation as one of the coolest bands around. Active since 2007, during their long career they were sampled by Dr. Dre on Compton (\"One Shot One Kill\" feat. Snoop Dogg), Jay Z (\"Picasso Baby\"), The Child of Lov \u0026amp; Damon Albarn (\"One Day\") and Demigodz (\"The Summer Of Sam\"). They played major venues and festivals all over Europe and as unique musicians they collaborated with, amongst others, PJ Harvey, Mike Patton, John Parish, Stewart Copeland and Rokia Traoré. The BLANCA OST is the latest of many activities concerning cinema for CALIBRO 35: the band has been completely immersed in the world of soundtracks since the very beginning and they have recently worked on other productions as well, both as Calibro and individually. Last June, the band released their 8th studio album, NOUVELLES AVENTURES, recorded in Naples at Auditorium Novecento. With the new LP the group has made full use of their knowledge and resources, refined and enriched over the years, back to making \"Calibro's music\": a unique mix of funk, progressive rock, alternative jazz and wide-spectrum cinematic music the public has known them for in fifteen years of career.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Kicks","offers":[{"title":"Clear LP","offer_id":50395046773067,"sku":"2096906","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_dbc6f69b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726453781"},{"product_id":"lunedi-cinema-chaser","title":"Lunedi Cinema \/ Chaser","description":"\u003cp\u003eCinematic funk heroes Calibro 35 present Lunedì Cinema \/ Chaser : a tribute to jazz-funk in a limited transparent edition 7” via Record Kicks.

The union between Italian cinematic funk visionaries Calibro 35 and internationally acclaimed master of noir fiction and New York Times bestselling author James Ellroy is undoubtedly one of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Calibro 35 were invited to compose the original soundtrack for Francesco Zippel’s documentary Ellroy vs L.A., they didn’t simply write music for film. They stepped directly into Ellroy’s universe the most dangerous corners of American crime fiction and discovered, to no one’s surprise, that its darkness felt strangely familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe result is Ellroy vs L.A., the band’s new album on Record Kicks. Twelve brand new tracks of cinematic crime funk, psychedelia, and hypnotic groove that don’t accompany Ellroy’s world so much as inhabit it. The soundtrack’s move through Ellroy’s fictional and real-world mythologies with deliberate precision. Stylistically, the album finds Calibro 35 in their most natural yet most cinematic state: crime funk, psychedelia, and hypnotic groove pushed into darker, more narrative-driven territory by the weight of Ellroy’s world. From the gloomy, suspense-laden groove of the opener Black Dahlia to the evocative closing piece Moonlight Sonative, the album unfolds as a complete cinematic arc, showcasing Calibro 35 at their very best. L.A. Confidential delivers a super-suspenseful, thrilling tension that feels like a chase through neon-lit streets, while Riots erupts into explosive cinematic funk, capturing chaos and urban unrest in full force. LSD on Sunset Boulevard drifts into a hazy, instrumental soul journey psychedelic, warm, and disorienting, like a late-night hallucination of the city itself. The Big Nowhere (Part I \u0026amp; II) expands the narrative into a slow-burning, atmospheric descent, unfolding like a two-act crime saga. Welcome to the Land of Vacation and Probation hits with kick-ass, uptempo crime-funk madness, urgent and relentless in its propulsion, while White Jazz is a mood of suspended, noir-infused jazz tension cool, shadowy, and unresolved. Together, the tracks map Los Angeles as a fractured yet hypnotic landscape suspended between glamour and violence, beauty and decay, myth and reality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Kicks","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":57295206777163,"sku":"R1560-7921","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":57295206809931,"sku":"R1560-8434","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Calibro35-EllroyvsLA.jpg?v=1778683823"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_3fd26174_thumbnail_4096_8bce5545-5515-4f19-941d-23d65ea6d21c.jpg?v=1726453763","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/calibro-35.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
