Album Notes & Community Reviews

Functioning primarily as the brainchild of Italian multi-instrumentalist Fabio Zuffanti, 'Springsong' is a masterful homage to 1970s symphonic rock. The album seamlessly blends traditional folk instrumentation with complex, pastoral progressive rock arrangements, resulting in a lush, highly evocative instrumental suite.
