Introducing Eugenia Post Meridiem they took shape in the Summer of 2017 after three months traveling around Lisbon, when by chance Eugenia (voice, guitar) met Matteo (bass), Giovanni (guitar, keys), and Matteo (drums, percussion). The quartet soon melded together, blending Matteo’s bass and electronic music skills, Giovannis, psychedelic oriented guitar, and Matteo’s deeply rooted percussive Jazz origins. The initial meeting then led to the creation of a series of songs that not only showcased Eugenia’s wonderful voice and remarkable songwriting potential but also incorporated layers of soul, indie, and folk influences. Alongside a pronounced inclination to 60s and 70s psychedelic tendencies, finely combined with 90’s sound textures all held together, interpreted, and experienced via 4 completely different musical backgrounds. In August 2018 at the Big Snuff Studio of Berlin the band recorded its first body of work: In Her Bones, released on October 11, 2019, and in the Summer and Autumn of 2019 they were touring around Italy. The band also played at ESNS and MENT Ljubljana in January and February 2020, at WAVES Festival (Vienna) in September 2020, and were chosen as well for the INES talent pool 2020. Rolling Stone Italia also counted Eugenia Post Meridiem among the twenty Italian music promises for 2020. In 2021 the band recorded LIFE SLEEPER SIDE A and SIDE B (produced by Matteo Pavesi) at Fonoprint Studio in Bologna and was released between the Summer and Fall of 2021. In September of the same year, the band played at MIL Festival (Lisbon) and Reeperbahn Festival (Hamburg, Germany). Eugenia Post Meridiem have now recorded their second studio album ‘like I need a tension’ for Bronson Recordings, due to be released in November 2022. Following the release of their newest single “willpower”, they project a nostalgic sound that will definitely intrigue your attention. Beginning with dreamy instrumentation leading onto Eugenia’s sweet and luscious vocals they complete the song entirely. Explaining the track a bit further it touches on the very concept of thought, brought to life in the mind of a teenager. With the motions of how that thought can build, grow and transfer onto others. All of this is expertly detailed and reflected in the structure of the song itself from the chord progression never fully resolving to the change in the harmony of the chorus, with the final chorus acting as a “shared experience” of minds and overall collective communion of thoughts. To the vocals and production, this single will surely have you vibing. It would be just perfect for a drive during sunset or a day out on the beach. Go stream “willpower” and check out their discography which is filled with amazing music.
