Press: Celebrated for their sprawling catalog of original material, unpredictable set lists and intricate improvisations, Papadosio’s live performance now headlines a host of events from theaters to festivals both internationally and all across the United States. Inside every night’s set, each band member meticulously collects and presents a world of sound that weaves together both digital and analog currents into a style of music reflective of the current world we live in. Articulate lyrics and melodies meet primal drums and bass, while oscillating pedals and vintage keys battle with future synths and modified scripts conjuring images reminiscent of a space age musical odyssey exploring the essence of power in the presence of fragility, the meaning of light in the midst of darkness.
Beyond live performance, Papadosio has self-produced and released three full-length studio LPs including the acclaimed doubledisc, To End the Illusion of Separation (T.E.T.I.O.S.). Similarly, they have produced a number of different events including Earth Night, which promotes environmental advocacy and indigenous rights in conjunction with a special evening of live music and art in different cities around the US. Next up on the horizon for the group is a brand new, never beforeheard studio album expected to drop soon.
