SPECTRA*paris is an Italian dark electronic project created by Elena Fossi, known for her work in long-running and influential electronic band KIRLIAN CAMERA.
SPECTRA*paris was created in the wake of the dissolution of SIDERARTICA Fossi's previous side project.
Winter time and especially the Christmas season have been inspiring musicians of all eras around the globe. Enter SPECTRA\*paris. Just barely half a year after Elena Alice Fossi’s latest outing “License To Kill”, the charismatic Kirlian-Camera-singer embarks on a very special journey exploring the cold season’s atmosphere and her softer side. Framed by two otherworldly renditions of “Silent Night”, a Christmas classic if ever there was one, SPECTRA\*paris envelop us in a climate of pure magic, infused by the spirit of the enchanted heavens, saints and ghosts, invisible devils and a sense of the sacred, but also allowing disquieting moments to sneak in every once in a while. As far removed from the cringe-inducing kitsch that floods the record dealers’ shelves at the end of every year as can be, this little sonic gem not only uncovers a previously unknown side of the band but is also THE definitive sound track for all those who have always longed to invoke a Christmas spirit of a different kind. Magical with a flight of sinister, “Christmas Ghouls” sounds like the Archangel Gabriel and Lucifer playing chess on a snowy night in a parallel universe. The experience unfolds on November 26th on CD in a deluxe Digipak
