Federico Albanese's new album 'Blackbirds and the Sun of October'

The new Federico Albanese album 'Blackbirds and the Sun of October' is out now and available to stream and purchase.

His previous albums often explored themes of memory, inner worlds, and imaginary landscapes, with each album having a distinct, thematic focus. In contrast, Blackbirds And The Sun Of October draws directly from the physical world around him – the history, nature, and beauty. “I can sense the freedom in this music,” he says, “and there’s more positivity in it. I can feel it’s something different than before.” He talks about the music flowing out of him, naturally, a reflection of his surroundings, and how emboldening this was.
