With their new, second album, “Dreaming The Strife For Love”, Italians Bedsore plunge headlong into the progressive warmth and obscure atmospheres of the 70s. Inspired by the mysterious Renaissance book “Hypnerotomachia Poliphili”, the album musically weaves together the concepts of love as a battlefield where desire and devotion are tested through trials and spiritual awakenings - with visions of pagan temples, mystical gardens and arcane symbols.
An aspirational and operatic aura surrounds “Dreaming The Strife For Love”, from the longer compositions and spacious production to the extravagant and diverse instrumentation that includes 12-string guitars, copious synths, mellotron and organs, fretless bass, drums and horns; the album's dynamic range encompasses the most important elements of prog-rock's lofty imagination.
