Iotaphi want nothing less than to turn society upside-down, give it a proper shake and open its eyes to the true beauty of life. What this sounds like can be deduced from the Athens-based duo’s »Kloudland« EP, released last year, and can also be inferred from their influences, which they cite as Maria Callas, Mary & The Boy and Manos Hatzidakis. An ambitious mix with an even more ambitious end result. Laced with classical elements, Iotaphi’s electro-goth pop is composed of the restrained yet commanding beats of Francesco IX beneath the voice(s) of Ilia Darlin, unfolding into a conversation in cuts like »Kids of Chaos«. True beauty, according to Iotaphi, can be found in people’s souls. Which is exactly where their music has the greatest resonance.
