NOSOUND ANNOUNCE NEW RECORD TO THE CORE
9th May 2025 0 By Jon DeauxTo The Core is a bold, stripped-back return from Nosound — the acclaimed project led by Italian composer and multi-instrumentalist Giancarlo Erra. Since forming in 2005, Nosound have built a reputation for emotionally rich, genre-defying music that blends ambient, post-rock, and art rock influences. Their work has drawn comparisons to artists like Sigur Rós, Steven Wilson, and Brian Eno, and earned a loyal following through albums such as Scintilla, Afterthoughts, and Allow Yourself.
Today, the band unveiled the first single from the upcoming record. Titled ‘Worn-Out Parts’, the track is a hauntingly beautiful lament, elevated by Erra’s distinctive and yearning vocals. Described as ‘probably one of the strongest songs in Nosound’s discography,’ it’s an evocative piece that features the return of the guitar bow and includes a guest vocal performance by Louise Pigott.

Following the more electronic and alternative direction of 2018’s Allow Yourself, To The Core finds Nosound reconnecting with the heart of their earlier works – albums like Lightdark and A Sense of Loss – while still embracing the focused songwriting and modern sensibility developed on records like Scintilla.
Nosound released their live album This Night (Live In Veruno) in 2022 following several performances at major festivals and a creatively fertile period. Instead of rushing to produce a quick follow-up, Erra let the music of To The Core evolve organically. Free from commercial pressures, the album is shaped by time, intention, and instinct.
To The Core tracklist:
- The Nothing We Gave [03:32]
- To The Core Nosound [04:20]
- Worn-Out Parts Nosound [05:22]
- Interrupt [02:44]
- Closure [03:01
The record was written and produced entirely by Erra, who returned to organic instrumentation including guitars, real drums, strings, synthesizers, and piano, while maintaining the streamlined song structures of more recent releases. As Erra puts it, “I always prefer to play a song again because it was beautiful but too short, rather than wonder why it goes on for so long without saying anything new.” To The Core is the band’s first new music since 2018 and marks a powerful return to their creative roots.
Nosound will be performing at Gran Teatro Geox in Padua, Italy on Friday 9th May as part of the Marillion Weekend Festival. Tickets are available here.
To The Core will be released on Kscope on 27th June, digitally and on digipack CD. CD edition includes a 12-page printed booklet with lyrics and original artwork by Louise Pigott. Pre-order here.
