Border Hills by Border Hills
Our first album is the result of a year of work, driven by research and experimentation.
We drew inspiration from the style and some works of the Spanish painter Francisco Goya, recreating images and compositions reminiscent of his paintings, and generating new ones in his style. Border Hills is not just an album filled with stories and fantastic imagery; it is also a collection of real-life experiences and the ongoing search for light beyond the thick fog that makes everything seem darker.
This project was born from the need to bring out our musical instincts.
We are a trio with relatively diverse influences, including Progressive Rock, Alternative, Folk, Celtic Music, and Cinematic music.
The arrangements are built around our main instruments—Guitar, Keyboard, and Voice—further enriched by rhythm, effects, sounds, synthesizers, virtual orchestras, and various other instruments, such as the lap steel guitar.
The composition of the songs and lyrics was the result of a highly satisfying group effort, where each member could freely express their artistic identity and influences. Beyond individual technical and compositional skills, the album gained uniqueness and character through various group experiments.
We are a band composed of three core members:
Elisa Benedetti on vocals, Simone Cozzetto on guitars, and Francesco Proietti on keyboards.
Special Guests: Ivo Di Traglia (Drums), Andrea Zanzarri (bass), Francesco Lo Cascio (Mix and Mastering)
