The Como-based trio Six Riddles has caught our attention with their latest single, “Six Riddles,” which is both personal and exact. The members of the band, which has seen its share of personnel changes since forming in 2017, have settled on the current trio of Andre on guitar, Sam on drums, and Luke on bass and vocals. With this selection, their sound gels and feels confident and distinctively theirs.
The single epitomises the band’s sound, full of gripping instruments and a backdrop of warm, resonating vocals from Luke. Andre’s guitar creates a tapestry of nuanced textures that lure the listener into the song’s rhythm, while Sam combines the track forward with quiet strength. It shows the chemistry between the three of them, which even at this hushed volume conveys an intimate, yet full-band vibe.
“Six Riddles” is a statement. In calling the track after themselves, the group offers an opportunity to get close to who they are and locate the sound they’ve worked so hard on growing up by Lake Como. There’s purpose and clarity in their delivery, a rare combination for a band stumbling through their early years trying to figure out what they sound like.
Those who are fond of the Italian indie scene will find Six Riddles to be an intelligent and innovative inclusion. For the uninitiated, it’s a striking introduction to a band that strikes a good balance between proficiency and emotion. As they write and release new music, “Six Riddles” establishes the stage for what’s next, and it’ll surely be an interesting chapter. Six Riddles has written a song that’s every bit as mysterious as its title, but at the same time refreshingly straightforward in its execution, a question that can’t be answered in the negative.
Cool! 🚀
