by marcs77A few words with the recentlty born band [‘selvə] from North Italy...
Hi, we are [‘selvə], we’ve been playing music together since 2013 and we’re from Crema, Lonigo and Lodi.
gan: How did you guys come up with your band name?
For some time we’ve had trouble finding a suitable name for our project, then a friend of ours suddenly came up with the name “selva”.
We immediately liked the name and chose it for us. This word stands for a place that perfectly represents the emotions and sensations we want to trasmit through our music: loneliness, obscurity and dismay. We chose to write it in phonetics to make it even more enigmatic and misterious.
gan: Do you have any stuff out?
We started writing some songs last september, now we have four, all of them are in our first cd “life habitual”. We recorded it this summer and it will be out on the 27th of october 2014 under the label Argonauta Records.
gan: What got you playing this genre and what are some of the bands you draw inspiration from?
We all come from different hardcore bands active in northern Italy. All of us felt the urge to move away from old school hc because what we wanted to express needed a more introspective point of view. We thought that this type of music was the perfect choice for this intent, our genre is highly influenced by screamo, post black and post rock. We think that anyone that listens to our music will immediately understand our influences: Deafheaven, Russian Circles, Suis La Lune, Loma Prieta, Alcest and Wolves In The Throne Room among others.
gan: What's currently up at your camp and what are some of the projects, tour plans you have lined up for the future?
We are still at the beginning of our musical journey, we’ve done very few gigs before the release date of our first album and now we have started looking for new live shows for its promotion. Currently we are working on new material to release as soon as possible.
gan: Any closing words?
We want to thank everyone that supported us so far, all those who contributed in the creation of our cd, who helped us staying on the road and obviously you for this great opportunity! Cheers!
