Excerpt - “A record that gives you a lump in the throat, and has the emotional strength of hail hissing against urban window-glasses. Everyone will find something personal in it, something intimate and hidden. And everyone will keep a different memory. “
Il Cibicida (Italian Translation)
Excerpt (translation from Italian) - “Dilatazione, on their debut release, cross the threshold of post-rock, stepping into a more descriptive cinematographic face of the genre - hovering into a spiral of instrumental serpentines and mellifluous slow-downs, that calibrate a continuous crescendo of bliss, helped out by trumpets, baritone sax, xylophone, as well as the ubiquitous guitars (rich with riffs), mathematical bass lines and excellent drumming.”
Excerpt - “Italian post-rockers Dilatazione offer their debut in Too Emotional for Maths, a pastoral blend of shimmering guitars, pronounced bass, and intricate percussion. For a band with such a reverberatively clean sound, guitarists Patrizio Gioffredi and Mirko Bertolucci stray away from the icy mood of groups such as Efterklang or Sigur Rós. Rather, their layered tone is accented with horns, synths, and even theremin………Dilatazione have composed an incredibly colored debut that does nothing but improve with multiple listens.”
Excerpt - “And then, also on the brilliant Hidden Shoal label, is Dilatazione, an Italian quartet who weave the kind of crisp, propulsive math-rock that seems to have gone out of fashion, but has rarely been done this well.”
