Karmamoi
In 2008, inspired by old and new progressive rock music, drummer and composer Daniele Giovannoni created Karmamoi.
From 2008 to 2011, the band performed many live shows. They released their self-titled debut at the end of 2011. This would be their only album with Italian lyrics.
In December 2013, they released their second album called Odd Trip to great reviews. It was a huge step forward into the world of progressive rock. The band changed its sound and its way of writing music. It also saw a switch to English lyrics.
Silence Between Sounds came out in October 2016 to critical acclaimed around the world, with some reviewers calling it one of the best progressive rock albums of 2016.
The band’s fourth album The Day Is Done was released in 2018 again to much critical acclaim. This album featured several special guests, including Colin Edwin, (Porcupine Tree) on bass and Geoff Leigh on flute and saxophone (Steven Wilson, Ex-Wise Heads).
The band played a series of prestigious festivals in Europe and the USA in 2019 and spent much of 2020 writing new music during lockdown.
2021 would bring Room 101 with the participation of some great musicians, including Adam Holzman (Miles Davis, Steven Wilson) and Steve Unruh (United Progressive Fraternity). Karmamoi made this album their first-ever vinyl release.
The band’s sixth album Strings From The Edge Of Sound came out in 2023.
