Bebaloncar Charts New Terrain with “Words,” the Hypnotic First Single from Love to Death

Italian psychedelic outfit Bebaloncar is back with a sweeping new single, “Words,” arriving July 19 on all major digital platforms. It’s the first glimpse of their forthcoming full-length album Love to Death, due out in October on vinyl, CD, and digital via Silverdrop Recordings. With its roots in shoegaze and dream pop, “Words” pulses with Madchester energy while shimmering with the band’s signature sense of haunted beauty.

Floating between the worlds of dark folk, shoegaze, and cinematic psychedelia, Bebaloncar crafts music that feels both intimate and otherworldly. Formed in 2021 by Italian underground veteran Riccardo “Scanna” Scannapieco (vocals, guitar), the band also features Iris Martyr (guitar, backing vocals), Fab (bass), and studio collaborator Carlo Altobelli (percussion, synths, sampler), whose textural contributions play a vital role in shaping the group’s immersive soundscapes.

“Words” continues the band’s exploration of dreamy dissonance and emotional fragility. With swirling guitars, trance-like rhythms, and a vocal delivery that feels confessional and cathartic, the track builds a world suspended between dream and nightmare. According to the band, it’s “the story of an inner journey, where the destination remains a mystery and the road is made of intuitions, visions, and unspoken words.”

Bebaloncar’s sound was first introduced to audiences in 2022 with their debut Suicide Lovers, a brooding fusion of dark wave, neo-folk, and shoegaze that included classical instrumentation—harp, violin, and cello—performed by a rotating cast of women. The album received critical acclaim and was named one of the year’s best by Italy’s Blow Up magazine.

Their 2024 follow-up, Diary of a Lost Girl, marked a deeper conceptual turn. A meditation on isolation and broken dreams, it drew inspiration from silent cinema and featured a companion video—created with Bitpop Music Videos—that merged scenes from the 1921 film Camille with Bebaloncar’s live footage. Four of their songs were also chosen for the soundtrack of Rome As You Are, a documentary chronicling Nirvana’s Italian tours.

Though steeped in nostalgia, Bebaloncar is anything but stuck in the past. Their aesthetic feels timeless, channeling a mood more than an era. Live, they conjure a kind of lucid dream—intimate, immersive, and emotionally raw.

Produced by the band alongside Carlo Altobelli at Toxic Basement Studio, Love to Death promises to be a defining chapter in Bebaloncar’s evolving sonic diary. And if “Words” is any indication, we can expect an album full of delicate devastation, emotional catharsis, and psychedelic shimmer.

“Words” is available July 19 on all major streaming platforms.
