About This Item
Charismatic, enigmatic, and absolutely outstanding, singer Elena Alice Fossi, who is best known for her work with Italian electro-trailblazers KIRLIAN CAMERA, presents InchModernismInch, the fifth album of her eclectic project SPECTRA*Paris. InchModernismInch is transfiguring electronic music through the prism of Elena's voice and several collaborations with other musicians into a beautiful kaleidoscope of stylistic colours ranging from EBM, future pop, dark electronic, art pop, and various influences more. Among the artists that gladly followed Elena's call are KIRLIAN CAMERA mastermind ANGELO BERGAMINI, PROJECT PITCHFORK, SEASURFER, legendary producer JOHN FRYER, who worked with DEPECHE MODE and NINE INCH NAILS alongside many others, JOHN ROX & OXYDION, African singer-songwriter FAKEBA, and guitarist and producer MICHAEL CIRAVOLO (BEAUTY IN CHAOS, HUMAN DRAMA). InchModernismInch in a way is a musical child that was born out of the isolation that was imposed on Northern Italy during the pandemic. Elena trapped into the SPECTRA*Paris songs all the notes that absorb her fears, her astonishment, and her sense of confusion into what she calls Incha weird concoction of melancholy and rhythmInch. Her music is complemented and underlined by the beautiful artwork that accompanies this album. SPECTRA*Paris was conceived as an electronic rock oriented project in the wake Elena's previous project SIDERARTICA. In 2007 she self-released the ultra-rare promo 3Inch CD-R limited to 25 copies InchSpectra Murder ShowInch and immediately got picked-up by a tag, which led to the acclaimed first album InchDead Models Society (Young Ladies Homicide Club)Inch hitting the streets in the same year. The debut reached the charts in many countries and went up to gold. Elena followed-up with two successful albums in 2010, InchLicense to KillInch and InchChristmas GhoulsInch. Tracks from these re
