Chance:Risiko, an italian quartet at their debut with this Sleep Talking, are surely more mature than their actual age. Just in their early twenties, these guys bring out eleven refined, well-balanced, atmospheric songs. They follow the direction indicated by Art Bears, through a dilated song form, embellished by asymmetric rhythmics and detailed arrangements. Among echoes of Robert Wyatt and as quiet as hallucinated melodies, Chance:Risiko rouse listener’s curiosity and fascinate for their intelligence, sense of melody and sonic deepness.
