Exclusive Album Premiere Of Experimental Psych/Doom Rockers FOLWARK New Album ALL SHADOWS STRETCHED

Folwark is an experimental rock duo from Italy, active since 2014. The band consists of Francesco Marcolini (guitars, synths, vocals) and Tommaso Faraci (drums, theremin, vocals). Emerging from the mystical and rugged landscapes of Umbria—where saints and earthquakes coexist—their music channels a unique blend of raw intensity and spiritual exploration.

Folwark’s sound is an intricate fusion of syncopated rhythms, powerful surges, and immersive sonic drifts, shifting seamlessly between heavy grooves, psychedelic mantras, and introspective loops. Their live performances are a journey through layered vibrations and harmonics, unfolding in dreamlike atmospheres. Over the years, the band has been featured in various art and sound festivals, often collaborating with visual artists to enhance their multidimensional approach to music.

We're excited to premiere FOLWARK's stunning new album ALL SHADOWS STRETCHED thanks to the kind folks over at Grand Sounds Promotion and Octopus Rising (Argonauta Records).

Folwark Bio

In 2019, Folwark released their debut LP VIMĀNA, mixed and mastered by Claudio Adamo (Cani dei Portici). That same year, they contributed a cover of Nine Inch Nails’ Pilgrimage to the compilation A Fragile Tribute (Olive Produzioni/Seahorse Recordings).

Their latest album, ALL SHADOWS STRETCHED, is set for release on April 18, 2025, via Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Lorenzo Stecconi (Amenra, Lento, Ufomammut, ZU), the album was crafted in an abandoned mining site, further emphasizing the band’s connection to desolate and evocative landscapes. ALL SHADOWS STRETCHED delves into the struggle between darkness and light, urging humanity to counterbalance adversity with acts of profound love.

Expanding their sonic palette, Folwark integrates theremin, synths, and layered vocals into their power duo setup, fostering an introspective yet visceral exploration of both internal and external realms. The album traverses oppressive, haunting atmospheres punctuated by hieratic and liberating flashes of sound, reflecting an ongoing quest for equilibrium in tumultuous times.

To Plough the Waves (6:41)
