Obscura marks the fifth full length studio album by Plaster excluding collaborative, live and split albums. Written between 2019 and 2022, Obscura is the result of a very deep research of Gianclaudio Hashem Moniri in both composition and sound design’s world. The fifteen tracks which build the album are splitted into two parts, A and 𝝮.
According to Gianclaudio, the concept of the compositions is based on the feminine world, to its darkest and brightest side, to Its strenght and delicacy but also refers to the death of Mahsa Amini in Iran and the following Iranian protests. The tracks are filled with elements of protest messages, words of hope, stories of femicide, fragments and tributes of the imaginary feminine world of Gianclaudio.
The sound is clearly a step forward into the Plaster’s production, we can hear a lot of new inputs, like poetry, distorted guitars, vocals used as the main instrument, but on the other side, Obscura brings back the memories of early works. There’s a lot of passion and cohesion between the tracks and this is not an album which aims for fast listenings or streaming skipping.
Obscura will be released by Textvra in spring 2023 via limited printed canvas (22 copies in memory of the age of Mahsa Amini) and worldwide digital distribution as well.
