Sonoio - Fine (CD)

Prior to releasing a string of influential and widely acclaimed solo records under his own name on labels such as Important and Hospital Productions, Alessandro Cortini (Nine Inch Nails) self-released two albums under the name Sonoio starting in 2010. Praised for their complex and rich pop sound, strong vocal delivery and thoughtful compositions with impeccable production values, Sonoio's "Red" and "Blue" made heavy use of Cortini's expert manipulation of the Buchla synthesizer and releasing the single "Enough". As activity with Nine Inch Nails, the demands of touring, and his other solo endeavors began to pick up, production on the third and final Sonoio installment was delayed. In 2014 however, after years of silence, Sonoio posted the single and video for the song "Thanks For Calling" exclusively on Sonoio. Org and quickly reignited rumors and hope for the release of the third album. Fine is the first Sonoio full length to be released on vinyl, with art direction and package design by Caspar Newbolt and photography by Matt Sundin. Personal, layered and complex, "Fine" achieves greatness as both a singular example of deep and inspiring pop music, and as the final album - the closing chapter in the story of Sonoio.
