Five years after the compilation album \u201cOpen Wounds\u201d, Italian ‘suicide pop\u2019 trio Spiritual Front will release its new album, \u201cAmour Braque\u201d via Auerbach Tontr\u00e4ger \/ Prophecy Productions.

Formed in 1999 as the solo project of Simone H. Salvatori, Spiritual Front dubs its sound \u201ccatchy ballads for heartbreaker nihilist youth\u201d; its Morricone-inspired neofolk channels art rock, tango, new wave and country influences through a modern lens. Spiritual Front\u2019s unique musical identity is a reflection of Salvatori\u2019s savoir-faire which sees the frontman as a sort of Machiavellian playboy, merging Las Vegas-esque pomp and stomp with a surly suggestiveness, lending the band\u2019s sound a hedonistic flair. The lyrical themes shared by Salvatori deal with issues such as searching for self-identity, sexuality, harsh realities and angry break-ups, each tinted with sarcasm, nihilism and biting humor. In its time as a band, Spiritual Front has contributed to the soundtracks of the TV series \u201cLas Vegas\u201d and the motion picture \u201cSaw 2\u201d as well as independent films, theatre productions and modern ballets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmour Braque\u201d is Spiritual Front\u2019s sixth full-length album. The record combines gloomy alternative rock, dark folk and chamber pop with standout 60\u2019s blues rock vibes. Featuring striking cover art by cult surrealist artist Saturno Butt\u00f2, \u201cAmour Braque\u201d features guest musicians Matt Howden, King Dude, Client and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
