Album Notes & Community Reviews
Known affectionately as 'Principe di un giorno', Celeste's beautiful, incredibly gentle debut is a breathtakingly pristine artifact of Italian progressive folk. The record is famously devoid of heavy percussion, weaving remarkably lush Mellotron textures with beautiful acoustic guitars to create a profoundly soft, magically pastoral, and wonderfully uplifting spring atmosphere.
