Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by the legendary Tony Visconti, the Luna bandmates step away to deliver an incredibly lush, deeply romantic collaboration. 'L'Avventura' is a masterclass in soft, 1960s-inspired baroque pop, utilizing gorgeous orchestral arrangements and whispered dual vocals to craft a profoundly mellow, sensual, and soothing dream pop atmosphere.
