‘Hologram Moon’ is the first
album in five years by the Italian electronic dark wave act
Kirlian Camera.
It includes the autumn 2017 single ’Sky
Collapse’, which saw frontwoman Elena Alice Fossi duetting with
Eskil Simonsson of Covenant. A song about blackening skies
and disquieting scenarios, it was written by Fossi
with band mate Angelo Bergamini and mixed by the
legendary producer John Fryer.
The song dominated the German
Alternative Charts in the final quarter of the year.
However, ‘Sky Collapse’ was merely
a portent of something more epic, as the full album shows off Kirlian
Camera at the peak of their powers. Not only do new songs such
as ‘Eyes Of The Moon’, ’Travellers
Testament’ and ‘Polar IHS’ seem destined
to repeat the club success of the first single,
but the lyrical subject matter is also intriguing. The album
title itself comes from a conspiracy theory that suggests
the moon is no harmless satellite orbiting the earth, but a
visual hologram sheltering an artificial and possibly alien
construct. Whether taken seriously or not, ‘Hologram Moon’
sees the band engaging in subversive play
with perspectives and alternative realities.
