hi•ku ○ S.O.U.L.

From ITALY

With S.O.U.L., hi•ku take a further step on the visual and musical concepts started with their first single Hiding Place.

The track tells of a painful and suffered loss, an unavoidable goodbye that, despite everything, cannot be pronounced.

“I want to remain myself, stay away from me, save yourself” is the last will engraved on the road to a new life.

The sound is cold, chilled, blue synthwave with 80's influences (Depeche Mode), and a melancholic mood close to dream pop.

hi•ku is a project born in Catania, Sicily, in 2022.

The line up features Gianluca Montagna (vocals), Federico Mancuso (synths and bass) and Marco Spalletta (synths and guitars).

Their imaginary landscape is minimalistic and compelling, as are the Japanese short poems Haiku, like a rainy night in Tokyo iridescent with neon lights.

Their soundscape flirts with the darksoul of She Wants Revenge, Depeche Mode‘s synth-wave, Massive Attack‘s futurism and the contemporary electro pop of The Weeknd and Daft Punk.

hi•ku have fixed their first 4 selected poems in sounds, which will be revealed, following a fil-rouge both graphically and visually, in 2025.

Hiding Place, hi•ku first release in January 2025, was a song about scars that not even love can heal. The video, shot underwater in the Mediterranean sea, is a visualizer for this concept of life as a fluid, un-directional and primordial experience.
