Piatcions

Packed with energy and effervescence, Piatcions combine the soundscaped inertia of Spiritualized with the set-back and hushed vocal indifference of Brian Jonestown Massacre frontman Anton Newcombe.
Their debut album “Senseless>Sense”was released on Sept. 5th 2011 on London label I Blame The Parents.
Senseless>Sense is a grown up album – gossamer sounds build to epic Kraut riffs, dazzling and epic. “A luscious, dense sound, artfully constructed and beautifully arranged” (Subba Cultcha) that got them massive airplay on BBC6 and XFM XPosure (John Kennedy).
Senseless>Sense was recorded with the production of James Aparicio (recently at work with Liars and Spiritualized).
Artwork is designed by Ciaran O’Shea (Disc Error, ECC).
Robert Toher from influential NYC experimental band APSE (ATP Records) blessed a couple of songs with his unique high pitch voice, and joined the band for their giant 3 weeks Europe Tour in November.
2012 looks even more busy, with new single and video out now, a 7 shows Uk tour with Underground Railroad, a key London gig on Feb 22nd at Corsica Studios with Koolaid Electric Company, Scandinavian dates in April and a giant main support slot for The Black Lips late May.
April 2012 Piatcions got signed by Joe Foster’s Sterling Songs Publishing, joining a terrific roster featuring Dead Skeletons, The Telescopes, Koolaid Electric Company, Asteroid #4 and many others.
New Uk dates are planned in July, along with a 2 days recording session in London with James Aparicio to fix the brand new single.
Full Europe tour with Underground Railroad is in the making for October 2012.

A luscious, dense sound, artfully constructed and beautifully arranged. 8 Subba Cultcha (UK)

Piatcions, they can’t conceal it, are a ‘proper’ rock band, with muscle and melody in place. Unpeeled
Sumptuous, seductive and serene ‘Senseless>Sense’ is in short the sound of stars swooning, here the honey dripped cortege of star crossed lovelorn celestial anthems are spiked and purring to an alluring cosmic choreography dimpled with pulse racing struts. Losing Today
‘Senseless > Sense’ is all about trippy vibes; rolling, hypnotic drum beats; psychedelic, fuzzed-up guitar freak-outs; Sixties styled harmonies and lashings of reverb that all blend into a huge swirling wall of noise. 8 Loudhorizon (UK)

Traveling between psych and shoegaze, the Piatcions solidify their sound on Senseless > Sense with drawn out excursions like the propulsive As Seen Through a Telescope and more psych-pop/rock oriented cuts like Sleepless and Singapore Mon Amour, calling to mind the spaces that exist between outfits like the Dandy Warhols and Singapore Sling. Mr. Atavist (US)
De l’écho, du fuzz, une voix perdue dans l’espace. Pas de doute, on est en plein shoegaze sous acide, branché à dix mille volts sur le courant psychédélique. My Car Is Full of Plums (FRA)
Il trio di Domodossola vola alto con questi nove brani. Suoni vaporizzati e inebrianti, idee tante. 7 XL La Repubblica
Tonnellate di chitarre e fuzz, pulviscolo spaziale a mitigare la portata psichedelica-shoegaze (versante noise, My Bloody Valentine) della poltiglia di suono. 7 Blow Up

Senseless Sense con le sue chitarre evanescenti in perenne distorsione è certo un omaggio a Ride, My Bloody Valentine e Slowdive, ma ha il grande merito di aver riportato sui nostri palchi il piacere della melodia sommersa sotto una coltre di noise (provare brani superbi come Sleepless e Time per credere). Luca Frazzi – Rumore (Novembre) 8
‘Senseless > Sense’, con il suo sound ricco di citazioni psichedeliche, il ritmo sempre elevato delle chitarre e le belle armonie presenti è senza dubbio un lavoro apprezzabile. 7 Indie Roccia
