»Acid Disorder« is the latest astonishing work of the neo-psychedelia acid-rock riffers Giöbia. The Italian quartet focusses its inspirations in 8 wonderful tracks as varied as homogeneous and fluid sounding, which result in a full-length album pleasantly rich in atmospheres and textures. The eclecticism of the songs and their exotic flavor are rendered by the use of certain ethnic instruments – we can clearly recognize sitar and saz binding in an intriguing dance with vintage organs and synthesizers. Such a fascinating mixture gives the band its own hallmark that makes it unique and recognizable among thousands.

»Acid Disorder« easily engages even the most demanding listener. We can hear certain kraut rock influences a la Amon Düül and Ash Ra Tempel which lead us to float in the cosmos towards new unexplored dimensions and reconfirm the purely space-rock taste of the band and its inclination to sci-fi soundtracks charm and mystery.

With this surprising album Giöbia invite us to enter their realm, that hidden place in the depths of their mind where anything can happen. Once again we abandon ourselves to altered states of consciousness, enchanted by the lysergic side of a music that is both familiar and new.

The mystical day 60s rock met neopsychedelic rock mixing up to the point of losing consciousness of their own essence, that’s when Giöbia’s acid psychedelic rock was born, in an overwhelming and incessant soundtrack with an unmistakable Italian taste. In a vortex that leaves no way out, the unique melodies of this quartet take the listener into a world where the boundaries of reality are no longer defined and anything can ever happen. After their debut in 2009 with »Hard Stories«, Giöbia firmly established themselves in 2013 by »Introducing Night Sounds«, which suddenly brought them to the most important stages of Europe, until their 2016 milestone »The Magnifier« assigned them a place among the most influential bands of the scene. Giöbia went on astonishing their audience by forging »Plasmatic Idol«, which saw the light in 2020 via Heavy Psych Sounds and reconfirmed them as the modern forefathers of a genre that fascinates and amazes anyone who dares to leave themselves behind without the fear of never returning.

In 2021, Giöbia released their split album with The Cosmic Dead »The Intergalactic Connection – Exploring The Sideral Remote Hyperspace«, a must-have for every space traveler. Unable to stop in front of any challenge, the quartet is finally ready to release its brand new album »Acid Disorder« on April 28th, 2023 on Heavy Psych Sounds, which expertly refines the band’s psychedelic rock attitude alongside a wide spectrum of intriguing sounds and textures.

Giöbia is:
Bazu – Vocals / String Instruments
Detrji – Bass
Melissa – Synth / Vocals
Pietro – Drums
