BEDSORE
Dreaming the Strife for Love

With the new second album ‘Dreaming The Strife For Love’, Italy’s Bedsore have jumped headfirst into the progressive warmth and obscure atmospheres of the 1970s. Inspired by the mysterious renaissance-era book ‘Hypnerotomachia Poliphili’, the album musically weaves the concepts of love as a battlefield, where desire and devotion are tested through trials and spiritual awakenings, with visions of pagan temples, mystical gardens, and arcane symbols. An aspirational and operatic aura envelops ‘Dreaming The Strife For Love’, from the longer compositions and spacious production to the extravagant and diverse instrumentation that includes 12 string guitar, copious use of synthesizers, mellotron and organs, fretless bass, percussion and horns; the dynamic range of the album embracing the most crucial elements of prog rock’s lofty imagination.
