 Paolo Bertoni, Vittore Baroni and others...“A Quiet Place comes to a close with a dainty musical jewellery-box tune suggestive of innocence and peacefulness, a return to a dreamlike state within the arms of stillness [...] Yet despite their detail, they remain soft velvet hues of unimposing sound distilled with excellent musicianship." THE SILENT BALLET (Jamens Crossan - USA) " A new positive energy [...] that brings to a romantic circularity in a Durutti Column style, and that afterward explodes in a free emotional cascade." BLOW UP (Paolo Bertoni) “The deep basslines and the classic violin have something in common with Reininger & Co. [Tuxedomoon], but this doesn't mean that they copy, because Sparkle in Grey are already showing their own personality and poetic.” RUMORE (Vittore Baroni)  |

Sparkle in Grey have recorded “A Quiet Place” in 2006 with Giuseppe Ielasi (well known for his records on Hapna and 12k in the experimental and micro-sounds scene), while collaborating with Telepherique and Maurizio Bianchi and remixing for Micecars and Ether. The six tracks on this debut album have started off as improvisations on an electronic base, and have later developed throughout live shows in Italy and abroad in squats, clubs, diners, music festivals in the woods and in a kindergarden. |
A Quiet Place is an experimental post-rock album with a pop taste, where electronics and ‘real’ drum rhythms, field recordings and other instruments blend harmonically in.
