“Flowers Are Blooming In Antarctica” is the first release of Opale, a series curated by Maple Death and publishing house Canicola Edizioni, sister imprints that for last decade have been exploring and researching the intersection of music and narrative through images and sound, giving life to new dialogues between the two languages, with a visionary and militant approach. Each Opale release will see the parallel production of an LP and illustrated book, linked together by a red thread that runs through atmospheres, emotional temperatures, glimpses of content, and collected in a precious limited edition box set that include posters and unique designs. Laura Agnusdei’s album is accompanied by artwork, images and an illustrated book by Daniele Castellano, member of the Ufficio Misteri collective and acclaimed illustrator for film, music and published internationally (Atlantic, New Yorker, New York Times). Inspired by Agnusdei’s sounds, Castellano reworked the album’s themes and narrative into images, giving them a vivid and intense drawn form.
