AB29 is a rock band from the Pisa area (Tuscany, Italy) made up of three young girls, Zoe, Francesca and Rebecca. In 2015 they formed the band to realize their dream, a common dream that unites them on a personal level. They begin to write songs and perform in concert by partecipating in various competitions, confirming themselves among the finalists of “Sanremo Rock 2018”. The girls begin to understand that their dream is starting to come true. In September 2017 their first “FIX” album, “All Broken 29”, is released, which helps them to make themselves known to a wider audience, that of the internet, and to increase the demand for concerts.
In 2020 they changed their name in AB29 and they signed for Beng! Dischi and started developing and recording in studio their new work, which is still in progress.
MEMOREM is the first single from the eponymous EP, released by Beng! Dischi. A deep, metaphorical and courageous musical journey, through the lights and shadows of the mind.
With the single MEMOREM, AB29 explore a “normal” girl’s inner feelings that are suddenly populated by strange dreams and hallucinations. MEMOREM is the story of fear and love as two sides of the parallel emotions. Memorem is the safe place, the place to take shelter and wait for the storm to pass, where everyone can identify and reckon with it in a personal way.
Our album is the musical story of five moments of the protagonist’s awareness, which culminates in the final song of the EP in which the acceptance of a new state of mind takes place, a new way of being.
It was not easy to tackle such a delicate issue, but we decided to try it anyway because a journey so difficult to face can be tiring and treacherous, but it brings with it the charm of exploration, the wonder of discovery, our way of making music.”
The EP takes the listener on a metaphorical journey through the lights and shadows of schizophrenia. Through five songs, we journey through the progressive metamorphosis of a mental state which, song after song, manifests itself in all its real beauty.
