After a first EP released in 2013 at Because Music, Andrea has gained ground and comes back 26th February with "Idealist", a first album that gathers the electronic aspect of Todd Terje, as well as the disco of West-African inspiration of William Onyeabor, or even Liquid Liquid's kind of rythms. He already has his media supporters. Idealist was in part inspired by a chance discovery of some music on a hard drive given to Andrea by Salvatore Principato, singer with seminal New York post-punks Liquid Liquid, after their paths had crossed in 2011 when Principato produced an EP for Andrea's previous band did. "I was looking for something to inspire me," he remembers. "So I plugged it in and suddenly there were all these amazing sounds."
