Double vinyl LP pressing. 2026 release. 'Hauntings' is Richard Barbieri's first studio album since 2021's 'Under A Spell' and deepens the pensive, dark instrumental aesthetic of it's predecessor. A diverse collection of immersive sound worlds, both dark and uplifting in equal measure, 'Hauntings' is influenced by a nostalgia for the past and future, and for things that didn't happen yet still manage to haunt the mind and soul. What is real and what is simulation? The album finds Barbieri at the height of his powers, his deft keyboard and sonic architecture conjuring a shadowy, creeping Lovecraftian atmosphere. The music wanders through the streets of a gloomy lamp-lit Victorian London and drifts into grain-speckled snapshots of Belle Époque Paris. These journeys into the past are contrasted with nihilistic but euphoric forays into the future, "Traveler" and "A New Simulation" bristling with the itchy modern anxiety that often runs through his best work. Contrasting the sound designs and electronics of Barbieri, the album features performances from renowned musicians Morgan Agren (drums and percussion), Percy Jones (bass guitar) and Luca Calabrese (trumpet).
