We know Perdurabo quite well by now. Having followed his journey through leftfield and experimental electronica, the Italian sonic wizard has constantly showcased unmatched creativity and the willingness to go further, often blending instrumental wizardry with vocal-based relatability. ‘Cast Stones’ is the latest example of that, a wonderful and anthemic tune that channels the best electro-pop stylings with the most nuanced and quirky electronica.
A collaborative work with Miro Shot’s frontman Roman Rappak, lending his deep, dark vocals to an already compelling track, the record really hits the mark when it comes to melancholia and transformative energy. You see, between the cinematic charge and the introspective lyricism, ‘Cast Stones’ will literally absorb your attention for five minutes straight, while you gaze into Perdurabo’s dreamy and ethereal sonic universe.
Drawing from the harsh realities of inner-city life, from the 2017 Grenfell Tower tragedy to the recent passing of two-year-old Awaab Ishak due to mould in his house, ‘Cast Stones’ is a poignant commentary that challenges to confront these dire situations.
