Votiva Lux

Votiva Lux is a band from Bologna in Italy that has been around since 1988. They’ve undergone several changes before settling on an instrumental-only sound in the last few years. They have returned to favour in their homeland of Italy thanks to the small CYC Promotions label, after being more popular outside their own country. The tracks are instrumental and set it for a certain type of music lover. They provide atmospheric, dreamy music with a psychedelic, ambient edge. The progressive rock influences will appeal to the niche market of those who enjoy the space-rock visionaries. It’s always a brave move to head into the singerless society but they play with intensity and passion. The four tracks include a cover of the Slowdive’s “Avalyn II”. This will fascinate music enthusiasts and Australian listeners may see traces of The Dirty Three, as the nearest exponents of this art.
