about

Close To Impossible is our second release. Three tracks of lo-fi infidelities and imperfections. It features only guitar, bass, drums and radio murmurs. Alternate tunings, tape saturation and archaic digital effects create a lush yet lo-fi sound. Homemade and one to treasure. No peak limiting either.

PRAISE FOR THE SLEEPLESS:

“Their music is mysterious, eerie and dark yet always tuneful enough to draw the listener in again and again … a dense, murky framework of doomy yet melodic guitars”
Leonard’s Lair

“I’d have a swell time drinking with this unheralded Brit duo down their local … quiet glisten-guitars, tinged with velvet finery”
Jack Rabid, The Big Takeover

“A strong sense of melancholy and emotion, peppered with off-kilter changes, found sounds such as traffic noise and crackly radio, and a whole array of effects pedals and atmospheric touches of synth”
Bliss Aquamarine

Another masterwork from Stefano Guzzetti. This man deserves all the accolades he receives. The package with the 4 panel cd is very nice indeed. You even get the piano sheet music. I am huge fan of Stefano Guzzettis music. Buy this. You will love it. The whole album is brilliant. I cannot pick just one track. Steve Mahoney
