That&#8217;s the emotional territory Kodaclips are navigating on <em>Pirouette<\/em>, the Cesena-based band&#8217;s second single of 2026 and a strong sign that their new chapter is hitting differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The track moves fluidly between tension and release \u2014 moments of chaos bleeding into moments of pure stillness \u2014 with arrangements that pull equally from post-punk&#8217;s nervous energy and shoegaze&#8217;s immersive haze. It opens with a deliberately sparse vocal approach that slowly unravels into wordless harmonies, eventually dissolving into a dense, post-rock-influenced instrumental stretch that earns every second of its build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/snHDKwwFIPw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kodaclips.lnk.to\/pirouette\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Pre-Save<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-produced by the band, <em>Pirouette<\/em> was mixed by Andrea Volpato (Fox Recording Studio, Seattle) and mastered by Manuel Volpe (Okum Produzioni). The result is a sound that feels both expansive and intimate \u2014 a snapshot of a band pushing deeper into experimental, de-structured sonic territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Video<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The visual counterpart is just as layered. Filmed at Alabaster Studio in Rimini, the clip was directed and edited by Linda Capuano and Samuele Bernardi, with cinematography by Martina Fabbri and Leonardo Gasperoni \u2014 two longtime friends of the band. It&#8217;s a striking contrast of textures: the band performing surrounded by vivid, fluid color washes, intercut with processed archival footage of classical ballet, the overlaid figures moving in rhythm with the music as if the song itself is choreographing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Are Kodaclips?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Formed in late 2021 in Cesena, on Italy&#8217;s northern Adriatic coast, Kodaclips quickly grew from a local project into one of the more compelling names coming out of the italogaze scene. Their debut album &#8216;Glances&#8217; (Overdub Recordings, 2022) \u2014 its title a nod to Slint&#8217;s <em>Spiderland<\/em> \u2014 introduced their aesthetic. The international breakthrough came with <em>Not My Sound<\/em>, which earned a video premiere on Backseat Mafia and landed in heavy rotation on DKFM and Eardrum Buzz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their second album &#8216;Gone Is the Day&#8217;, released via Sister 9 Recordings (Manchester), was mixed and mastered by James Aparicio \u2014 known for his work with Spiritualized, Mogwai, and Depeche Mode \u2014 and drew widespread praise for pushing shoegaze into fresher, more introspective territory. It was followed by a serious run of dates across the UK, Belgium, France, and Switzerland, and then into the Balkans and Eastern Europe in early 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Highlights along the way include opening for A Place to Bury Strangers on their Italian tour, supporting Slowdive at Villa Torlonia in the summer of 2024, and \u2014 most recently \u2014 performing at ESNS 2026 in Groningen, the biggest showcase festival in Europe. Not bad for a band barely five years in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their new lineup, featuring singer Linda Capuano, is clearly energizing the creative process. <em>Pirouette<\/em> is out now via Bronson Recordings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kodaclips:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/ymlpcl3.com\/1329duhmeyaxaeqmwyaaauebadaewsm\/click.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>FACEBOOK<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>\/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ymlpcl3.com\/70ec5uhmmsaraeqmwyaaauebadaewsm\/click.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>INSTAGRAM<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ymlpcl3.com\/39a0fuhmmuapaeqmwyaxauebanaewsm\/click.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SPOTIFY<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0\/\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ymlpcl3.com\/57ea9uhmmearaeqmwyatauebakaewsm\/click.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BANDCAMP<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>&#8220;Pirouette was written with a sense of nostalgia in mind: the feeling that can surface some time after losing someone, when you&#8217;re no longer sure <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=44979\" title=\"Kodaclips spin into new territory with \u2018Pirouette\u2019\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":44981,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[22,23,28,29,30,1907,5812],"tags":[13429,13448,13447,13446,1838,13444,808,13378,7074,925,1046],"class_list":["post-44979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guitar-rock","category-indie","category-music","category-music-video","category-new-release","category-news","category-shoegaze","tag-13429","tag-bronson-recordings","tag-cesena","tag-italogaze","tag-italy","tag-kodaclips","tag-music-video","tag-new-single","tag-pirouette","tag-post-punk","tag-shoegaze"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_0261.jpeg?fit=350%2C233","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-bHt","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":41649,"url":"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=41649","url_meta":{"origin":44979,"position":0},"title":"Ain\u2019t share new single \u2018Pirouette\u2019","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"March 28, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"South London\u2019s Ain\u2019t is back with a burst of energy\u2014dropping their brand-new single, Pirouette, via Fear Of Missing Out Records.
