Lostatobrado

by Claudio Lancia

LOSTATOBRADO is a Tuscan-Emilian collective that describes itself as playing "post-agricultural experimental electronic music," born in 2023 from the meeting of three composers and sound designers, Alessio Vanni, Lorenzo Valdesalici and Lorenzo Marra. Their music is built around images, drawing inspiration from the world of cinema (particularly Ennio Morricone's soundtracks), from the less mainstream side of Italian songwriting (Iosonouncane, Zen Circus, CSI, Verdena) and from the avant-garde sound produced by international artists working in rock, avant-pop and electro, such as Thom Yorke, Bjork and Floating Points.

After collaborating with various associations linked to the world of cinema, performing numerous live soundtracking sessions, in 2024 LOSTATOBRADO released their debut EP, "Canzoni contro la ragione".

Preceded by the single "Tane", in December 2025 the band released their debut album for Locomotiv Records, "Alas", capable of fusing together popular song and an avant-garde sensibility that never loses touch with tradition, amid ancestral rituals, sudden rarefactions and frequent references to rural life and the elements that characterize many parts of our peninsula. The trio builds layered constructions often resorting to unconventional instruments, a project that could be placed at a hypothetical crossroads between the combat-folk authenticity of Zen Circus and the experimental research of Iosonouncane. An intense, restless, dramatic record, at times deliberately chaotic, steeped in great musical and emotional tension, written with the goal of regaining contact with nature and embracing our own essence once again.
