We Wait For The Snow features Italian musician Andrea Penso, known for his solo project Selaxon Lutberg and his label Cold Current. Here he plays guitars, tambourine, accordion, synth and keyboard, flute and other less recognizable sources, aided by Simone Zuccolin (acoustic guitars and "non-musical objects"). WWftS play folkish, mostly instrumental tunes, but it's hard to pigeonhole them in any real neo-folk/wyrd-folk niche, as they rarely attempt at writing songs ("Forgotten Lovers" being the only true ballad here). Sure, there's recognizable guitar strumming everywhere (think of Current 93 circa "Earth Covers Earth"), but the result is closer to ambient drones than to folk minstrels - you put the cd on and it gives you a nice, drowsy, unobtrusive background sound for 48 minutes, but you'd hardly think of humming or singing along. However, the melancholic atmosphere they create with truly minimal elements (a chord, a drone, some concrete sound) prevents this from becoming some tedious wallpaper soundscape. I've listened to it in the last few days when it's rained cats and dogs, and I find it appropriate that the disc has been released in autumn. Those into Troum will rejoice when hearing the most ambient tracks (the two parts of "From Our Dreams"), but I'd also recommend this to fans of Lycia (despite the different instrumentation and tecnique, the feel is not that far).
