Wicked Expectation - EPK

Biography
Wicked Expectation are an electronic/IDM band from Turin, Italy. Experimental, ambient and glitch sounds are mixed with pitched vocals and synths, designing an immersive and mind-altering imaginary. Band was formed in 2012 andpublished its debut album Visions in 2015 that was played live across Italy and Switzerland.
Visions concept is about the relationship between human, nature and technology: a restless and schizophrenic coexistence that might generates great innovations and catastrophes at the same time. The sound research and new instrumental set-up pushed the band to create new songs included into the new album Folding Parasite that does not have a concept behind. Folding Parasite songs have a massive use of synthesizers and samples, with less guitars and acoustic drums compared to the previous album. Groove is often a combination of Bass, Synth Bass and Drum Machines. The album tour let the band play across Italy (including summertime festivals), Switzerland, France and Belgium. Folding Parasite was released on March, 2017.

 

In April 2019 the band released Echoes which represent a step further into Wicked Expectation production process. The sound is even more electronic and abstract with downtempo rythms, allowing the band to play also dj sets. In June 2020 the band released Emotional Control, two-tracks EP for the Turin-based label Sideshape Recordings.

Emotional Control EP [out 26.06.2020]

Will come out on June 26th 2020. It’s a two tracks EP which combines IDM and Brokenbeat genres, surrounded by atmospheric grooves that create an immersive sound for the listener. Inspired by clubbing culture, the essence of Emotional Control is reflected by the two tracks that differs a lot from each other. The EP has been recorded during COVID-19 lockdown: it expresses the need of escapism with a melancholic feeling that embraces the two tracks.

 

Distance and isolation required emotional control in order to go through this extraordinary period, having an impact also on Wicked Expectation’s sound. Grain of Sand sounds very contemporary, having at the same time some influence coming from the 90s. Kick drum and bass lines remind IDM genre, while glitched vocals reach their climax during chorus part creating melodiesand synthpop atmosphere. Emotional Control sounds more experimental, with a brokenbeat groove made by drum, synth bass and vocal samples combination. Themelancholy of Covid-19 isolation played its role on Wicked Expectation new style, culminated with the creation of this track. EP artwork is designed by Pietro Tenuta AKA Maniacodamore, an artist and illustrator from Turin. Emotional Control EP is the first step into the new collaboration between Wicked Expectation and Sideshape Recordings independent label.
