Wish - Stay Here My Friends (2019) [CD-Rip]

Conceived in the tradition of progressive sounds, the songs express a strong personality and a unique, recognizable style. Introspective and profound lyrics, articulated and intense musical pieces: the album moves between sweet and poignant moments and powerful passages, symphonic, at times hard and of strong impact. The sounds are sometimes ethereal, bright and open, in others biting, dark and acid; this is the sound of Wish: original and hard to be classified, sweet and strong, vintage and modern at the same time.

Stay Here My Friends is a choral album, made with great passion and attention to detail; expresses feelings and reflections, captures the listener's attention and leads him through the path and the basic idea of the record: friendship as an antidote to the hardest adversities and changes; the strength of being together; the time as it goes by between doubts and beliefs, excitement and disillusion.

Written, arranged, recorded and produced by Wish independently, the album was masterfully mixed and mastered by Umberto Ugoberti at Pitch Audio Research Studio in the spring of 2019. The cover is based on an original painting by Salvatore Patti and the artwork, created by Federica Baratta and Veronica Seppoloni, develops the concept idea in the beautiful digipacks and booklets with a fascinating mix of ancient and modern. The photographs have been shot by Federica Bucci, who has been able to capture with talent the full and empty spaces of our time, the faces and the backdrops, the lights and the shadows.
