In 2005, Valerian Swing was formed unknowingly, and perhaps even
unwillingly, as an instrumental trio in the humble little village of
Correggio by Stefano Villani, Davìd Ferretti and Alan Ferioli. Not even
a year later, with the inclusion of Johnatan and Davide on vocals and
potentially more, the now non-trio recorded an EP of four tracks at
Fear Studio in Ravenna.
Thanks to excellent reviews and explosive live shows, Valerian Swing,
an "under twenty" band, has been playing around northern Italy and
sharing the stage with established Italian underground groups. Now,
thanks to the EP and is rather risky tones, there is a new opportunity
on their horizon: to work with RisingWorks for the
production of Valerian Swing's first-time full-length release.
However, problems arose when the two vocalists were not available and
the group returned to being a trio right at the very moment they were
writing the songs for the new release. The eight musical pieces, which
range from free and crazy jazz to wildly undisciplined mathcore,
passing through indie, prog, pop, hard-core and much more, have now
been sensitively and successfully interpreted by Raffaele Marchetti
who in only three months has entered into a perfect
symbiosis with Valerian Swing's paranoiac instrumentals during the
creation their second release "Draining Planning for Ears Reflectors".
In late 2007, the group entered Zenith Studio in Lucca and worked with
Frank Andiver (who produced Labyrinth, Atman, Osian,
etc.), who intelligently understood the artistic goals of their
apparently-chaotic, highly-composed music. The result is a
well-balanced union of four distinct, contrasting and very original
musicians.
Valerian Swing's arrogant rhythm section totally avoids 4/4 rhythm and
adores playing parts of boat and rubber saxophones. Its bassist hates
the bass but plays the bass very well to his chagrin. Its guitars are
played extremely psychedelically and vacillate between sounding stoned
and meticulously orchestrated. Its voice starts out as pop and then
crescendos until it reaches beyond the beyond. The only thing left to
do is listen carefully.
"DRAINING PLANNING FOR EARS REFLECTORS" has been officially released may 5 2008 dstributed in Italy by Self and in the rest of the world by Code7/Plastichead.
In january 2009 VALERIAN SWING officially announces the decision to go on without the singer.
This decision, made time ago, has been determined by different musical visions and by a raising consciousness about it.
Fans who follow us in an active way, know very well that all our live of the last season, have been performed without Raffo, going along with our natural trend based on the experimentation and the deconstruction.
Thereby, we wish all the best to Raffo, a FRIEND, esteemed and to esteem person.
Our choice has been a musical need, free from the past hertitages.
Valerian Swing have toured Italy for more than 50 gigs in support of Draining Planning For Ears Reflectors and in october they toured europe for 12 concerts crossing 7 country (Austria, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary).

It's no bother at all. My city is actually really big, we have a lot of people who live here. It's actually in the desert on the border of Mexico. It's nice to play music here, but it can be difficult actually finding band members to play with. The music that is popular out here sucks though, most bands from my city play metal or hardcore music. It's rare that we have good bands come from my city.
