Showcase: Buckwise (IT)

Buckwise is a dream pop and IDM musical project from Puglia, active since 2018 and constantly evolving. The first album “Turning Point” (La Rivolta Records – 2019) traced the coordinates of an original sound, contaminating indiefolk-pop with full and layered electro sounds. After a first debut tour, the band took a new artistic direction, veering towards a more mature and refined sound where the indietronica attitude merges with synthetic orchestrations and pressing rhythms, thus creating a dreamlike and engaging atmosphere. The lyrics in English offer an introspective vision of reality, accompanying the listener on an emotional journey between ethereal melodies and deep reflections. Subsequently they signed a publishing contract with Bonimba by Francesco Cerasi, composer of soundtracks for important productions (Amazon Prime Video, BBC, Rai, Sky Cinema). In 2023 they joined the roster of Dischi Uappissimi: an independent collective-label with a strong focus on research and musical innovation. The entry into these new artistic families led to the release of new singles on digital platforms, obtaining excellent feedback from audiences and critics, also managing to export their live shows beyond national borders at the PROtFest in Bijeljina in Bosnia, at the Tallinn Music Week 2024 in Estonia, at the FIMU Belfort 2024 in France and at the prestigious Ypsigrock Festival 2024 and TEDx Barletta 2023. They also shared the stage with artists such as Explosions in the Sky, Ermal Meta, Santi Francesi and many others. With their constantly evolving sound and their ability to combine catchy melodies with profound lyrics, Buckwise released their second studio album “NEON” on November 29, 2024 via Dischi Uappissimi/Bonimba and distributed by Artist First.
