QUARENTINA

Joe Cardamone (formerly of The Icarus Line) returns with his second solo offering: the soundtrack to his film series QUARENTINA. The project was born out of a necessity for distraction and expression. Life gets real hectic real fast and when you are getting dragged down into the sea you better learn to swim. A global pandemic. A city in lockdown. The end of a relationship. A life chopped up into parts. Out of this chaos emerged these uncut gems: nineteen songs about love and pain. Recorded in a flurry of home studio sessions with tracks dubbed in one or two takes just to grab the moment, not think, and keep flying, QUARENTINA, was completed in a matter of a weeks. An exercise in immediacy and minimalism, the album is sparing with its instrumentation but not its intimacy. QUARENTINA is the most stripped down, raw and vulnerable Joe has ever sounded on a record.
