Prior to releasing a string of influential and widely acclaimed solo records under his own name on labels such as Important<\/strong> and Hospital Productions<\/strong>, Alessandro Cortini (Nine Inch Nails)<\/strong> self-released two albums under the name SONOIO<\/strong> (\u201cIt\u2019s Me.\u201d) in 2010 and 2011 in limited runs.<\/p>\n

Praised for their complex and rich pop sound, strong vocal delivery and thoughtful compositions with impeccable production values, SONOIO<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cRed\u201d and \u201cBlue\u201d (and the accompanying remix albums \u201cNon Red\u201d and \u201cNon Blue\u201d) made heavy use of Cortini\u2019s expert manipulation of the Buchla synthesizer, releasing the single \u201cEnough\u201d, and remixing Ladytron<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cHoudini\u201d before setting off on tour in direct support.<\/p>\n

As activity with Nine Inch Nails, the demands of touring, and his other solo endeavors began to pick up, production on the third and final SONOIO<\/strong> installment was delayed.\u00a0 In 2014 however, after years of silence, SONOIO posted the single and video for the song \u201cThanks For Calling\u201d<\/strong> exclusively on sonoio.org<\/strong> and quickly reignited rumors and hope for the release of the third album.<\/p>\n

Four years have passed since then, and Dais Records<\/strong> is proud to announce \u2013 finally<\/em> – the exclusive release of SONOIO\u2019s third and final effort: “Fine<\/strong>“, and the official re-release of the single and video for \u201cThanks For Calling\u201d. “Fine<\/strong>” is the first SONOIO<\/strong> full length to be released on vinyl, with art direction and package design by Caspar Newbolt and photography by Matt Sundin.<\/p>\n

Opening track \u201cI Don\u2019t Know\u201d and the mournful follow-up \u201cLeft\u201d set the stage for the emotional ride, with reverbed synths over an acute mid-tempo beat \u2013 accompanied by astonishingly strong vocals, which those accustomed to Cortini\u2019s instrumental works will likely be happily shocked by. Next, the aforementioned single \u201cThanks For Calling\u201d starts slow, building over 4 minutes with Cortini whispering, speaking, building strength into the gorgeously delivered line: \u201cfalling to pieces\u201d before the track explodes into a driving anthem.<\/p>\n

The album then quite literally descends into \u201cPieces\u201d, an instrumental effort that brings to mind Aphex\u2019s Ambient Works \u2013 a submerged lullaby of electronics before re-emerging into \u201cVitamin D\u201d, an energetic and pulsing track that snaps the listener to attention. A pattern of smart and intentional pacing and rhythm becomes apparent, as the listener is taken down through moody, effective dirges (\u201cBad Habit\u201d, \u201cUnder The Sea\u201d) and lifted up into a surprising guitar piece \u201cWhat\u2019s Before\u201d.\u00a0 \u201cI Don\u2019t Know (Coda)\u201d is the album\u2019s effective and final track, with Cortini\u2019s vocals muffled and echoing \u201cI\u2019m in the mirror, let me in\u2026.\u201d before emerging loud and clear above a wash of howling synth*<\/p>\n

Personal, layered and complex, “Fine<\/strong>” achieves greatness as both a singular example of deep and inspiring pop music, and as the final album \u2013 the closing chapter in the story of SONOIO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Comes on standard black vinyl as well as limited editions on yellow (100 copies) and green (400 copies), as well as digital and compact disc formats.<\/p>\n
