Wicked Expectation
Wicked Expectation are an electronic/IDM band from Turin, Italy. Experimental, ambient and glitch sounds are mixed with pitched vocals and synths, designing an immersive and mind-altering imaginary. Band was formed in 2012 and published its debut album Visions in 2015 that was played live across Italy and Switzerland. Visions concept is about the relationship between human, nature and technology: a restless and schizophrenic coexistence that might generates great innovations and catastrophes at the same time. The sound research and new instrumental set-up pushed the band to create new songs included into the new album Folding Parasite that does not have a concept behind.
Folding Parasite songs have a massive use of synthesizers and samples, with less guitars and acoustic drums compared to the previous album. Groove is often a combination of Bass, Synth Bass and Drum Machines. The album tour let the band play across Italy (including summertime festivals), Switzerland, France and Belgium. Folding Parasite was released on March, 2017. In April 2019 the band released Echoes which represent a step further into Wicked Expectation production process. The sound is even more electronic and abstract with downtempo rythms, allowing the band to play also dj sets. In June 2020 the band released Emotional Control, two-tracks EP for the Turin-based label Sideshape Recordings.
