At this point Krano is an expert in the art of disappearing, after the dust settles he retreats, fades away into the hills behind Valdobbiadene and shuts down communication.

Absolutely aching with soul, these ten songs channel rollicking twang, cosmic electric americana, honky-tonk mystics, noir gothic and fuzzed out spiritual rock’n’roll. As some would say, only the good sh*t, a masterclass in songcraft and true loner folk. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWho knows how, but Lentius Profundius Suavius\u003c\/i\u003e was vaguely inspired by the work of Italian peace activist Alexander Langer, a forgotten hero that relentlessly worked on eliminating ethnic boundaries and fostered ‘togetherness’ and true values of solidarity and ecological renaissance. “Slower rather than faster, deeper rather than higher and gently rather than hard” was Langer’s motto and fittingly is the reason behind the album’s title. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKrano’s music runs free, transcends barriers, a distillation of broken dreams tinted in black and white, where having the blues is not just a feeling but something you can’t shake, a wayfaring outsider on a journey side by side with players like Bill Fay, Robbie Basho, Skip Spence, Dave Bixby, inevitably bound to burn in eternity. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maple Death","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50417493410123,"sku":"2005888","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/f1e54c50-3596-e114-a1fc-811e319b6921_6fdde2cf_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726731185"},{"product_id":"la-citta-di-pianura-ost","title":"La Città di Pianura OST","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter \u003cem\u003eRequiescat In Plavem\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eLentius Profundius Suavius\u003c\/em\u003e, Krano returns with another curveball in his discography, a kolossal double-album and his first original soundtrack for the movie \u003cem\u003eLe Città di Pianura \u003c\/em\u003e(The Last One For The Road), directed by Francesco Sossai and presented at the Cannes Film Festival (Un Certain Regard), a rollicking, bittersweet journey through the Venetian countryside, where memory and mischief ride shotgun, a road-movie through a territory undergoing great transformation starring Filippo Scotti, Sergio Romano, Pierpaolo Capovilla, Andrea Pennacchi and Roberto Citran.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKrano's soundtrack continues his highly personal journey as a total outsider but at the same time a figurehead of the European underground. A soundtrack that combines the desolation of the Piave River and the fog of the lagoon with the woozy, rarefied folk that has always distinguished the psychedelic singer-songwriter from Veneto. A perfect match for Sossai’s cinematographic vision, poignant and lighthearted, Krano’s music narrates ‘deep’ Veneto by singing in dialect but with a sound that harkens back to the great American folk tradition of the 1970s, tunes that shift between Nashville looseness, Italian goth and haunted ballads. Krano’s music runs free, transcends barriers, a distillation of broken dreams tinted in black and white, where having the blues is not just a feeling but something you can’t shake, a wayfaring outsider on a journey side by side with players like Bill Fay, Robbie Basho, Skip Spence, Dave Bixby, inevitably bound to burn in eternity. In 2016 his lost-album \u003cem\u003eRequiescat In Plavem\u003c\/em\u003e, a small country-psychedelic masterpiece, a Venetian songbook for the Piave River shrouded in mystery and wonder, had brought Krano to the forefront of the international specialist press with articles on NPR, passages on BBC6 and in the best Italian magazines. By 2022,\u003cem\u003e Lentius Profundius Suavius\u003c\/em\u003e, an incredible collection of songs about loss, loneliness, death, darkness (Profundius) and sweetness, devotion and friendship (Suavius), had continued its narrative with sweeping twang, electric and cosmic Americana, mystical honky-tonk, gothic noir and fuzzed out spiritual rock'n'roll.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLe Città di Pianura’s OST\u003c\/em\u003e adds a bitter sweet layer to Krano’s loner folk compendium, a ghostly eeriness that gently carries Doriano, Carlo Bianchi and Giulio, the three protagonists, to a thin line between bliss and the abyss. No rock 'n' roll record has felt this mysterious and free-spirited in years. R.I.P. channels Jorge Ben's late-night, alcohol-soaked vibes (heard on 1970's Fôrça Bruta) and the rambling country-blues of Bob Dylan's Nashville Skyline. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maple Death Records","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":53518541226315,"sku":"R2964-2291","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/click_a077bf11-f68c-4a87-95af-161fcf81aa9c.png?v=1759400741"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/krano.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
