“Damn if there isn’t some mystical appeal at work in these songs.” - Aquarium Drunkard

Krano’s music runs free, transcends barriers, a distillation of broken dreams tinted in black and white, where having the blues is not just a feeling but something you can’t shake, a wayfaring outsider on a journey side by side with players like Bill Fay, Robbie Basho, Skip Spence, Dave Bixby, inevitably bound to burn in eternity.

In 2016 his lost-album “Requiescat In Plavem”, a small country-psychedelic masterpiece, a Venetian songbook for the Piave River shrouded in mystery and wonder, had brought Krano to the forefront of the international specialist press with articles on NPR, passages on BBC6 and in the best Italian magazines. By 2022, “Lentius Profundius Suavius,” an incredible collection of songs about loss, loneliness, death, darkness (Profundius) and sweetness, devotion and friendship (Suavius), had continued its narrative with sweeping twang, electric and cosmic Americana, mystical honky-tonk, gothic noir and fuzzed out spiritual rock'n'roll.

Le Città di Pianura’s OST adds a bitter sweet layer to Krano’s loner folk compendium, a ghostly eeriness that gently carries Doriano, Carlo Bianchi and Giulio, the three protagonists, to a thin line between bliss and the abyss.

"No rock 'n' roll record has felt this mysterious and free-spirited in years. R.I.P. channels Jorge Ben's late-night, alcohol-soaked vibes (heard on 1970's Fôrça Bruta) and the rambling country-blues of Bob Dylan's Nashville Skyline." - NPR
