hackedepicciotto

hackedepicciotto are known for their nomadic adventures. As a result, the music is as expansive and exploratory, reflecting the endless movement across places, landscapes and environments the pair have experienced. They glide across genres that take in cinematic drone, industrial, experimental, spoken word and soundscapes that shift between immersive ambient into noisy eruptions. They have released six albums, the last one “The Silver Threshold” released by MUTE records is their most symphonic. It captures a rare moment of stillness and reflection for the duo.

Despite the beauty and tenderness running throughout the album, there’s also the uncertainty of the world that is mirrored. ‘The Silver Threshold’ charges with pulsing electronics, ominous, churning riffs and a tone that captures fear and anger as much as it does beauty and wonder. This feeling of being in the middle of the unknown, where uncertainty impends, also plays a significant role.

hackedepicciotto are touring internationally throughout 2023 presenting their current album.
