Giobia releases "Acid Disorder"
The mystical day when 60s rock met neo-psych, mixing up to the point of losing consciousness of their own essence, is when GIÖBIA’s acid psychedelic rock was born in an overwhelming and incessant soundtrack with an unmistakable Italian taste. Inside a vortex that leaves no way out, this foursome's unique melodies take the listener into a world where the boundaries of reality are no longer defined and anything can ever happen. After their 2009 debut ‘Hard Stories’, Giöbia firmly established themselves in 2013 with ‘Introducing Night Sounds’, which brought them to the most important European stages until their 2016 milestone ‘The Magnifier’. Giöbia kept catching their audience off guard with ‘Plasmatic Idol’, which saw the light in 2020 via Heavy Psych Sounds and reconfirmed their status of modern forefathers of a genre that fascinates and amazes anyone who dares to leave themselves behind without the fear of never returning. In 2021, GIÖBIA released their split album with The Cosmic Dead "The Intergalactic Connection – Exploring The Sideral Remote Hyperspace", a must-have for every space traveler.
Unable to stop in front of any challenge, GIÖBIA is now ready to release its new album 'Acid Disorder' on Heavy Psych Sounds. “Acid Disorder” easily engages even the most demanding listener. We can hear certain kraut rock influences a la Amon Duul and Ash Ra Tempel which lead us to float in the cosmos towards new unexplored dimensions and reconfirm the purely space-rock taste of the band and its inclination to sci-fi soundtracks charm and mystery. With this new album, Giöbia invite us to enter their realm, that hidden place in the depths of their mind where anything can happen. Once again we abandon ourselves to altered states of consciousness, enchanted by the lysergic side of music that is both familiar and new. The album was recorded at Elfo Studio in Piacenza, Italy, between March and October 2022, engineered and mixed by Daniele Mandelli and Bazu and mastered by Giovanni Versari at La Maestà Studio. The artwork was designed by Trevor Tipton.
