Electric Valley Records present the Sardinian instrumental trio Basaltic Plateau’s debut LP, »Dead Dinosaurs Echoes«, set for October 17, 2025 on three vinyl variants and across digital platforms.
Basaltic Plateau is a sonic experiment fusing psychedelic fascinations, stoner rock, and the abrasive distortion of noise. Formed in late 2023 after a chance encounter between Marco, Roberto, and Maurizio at a beach party steeped in surreal sounds, the trio set out to create an instrumental project – a sonic journey transporting listeners through evocative landscapes of beaches, dunes, sea, and untouched nature.
That journey, however, was also rooted in unfinished history. Marco and Maurizio had already shared the stage in Le Mal Noir, their university band that played notable shows in the early 2000s but never recorded an album. Picking up that thread years later, on their first day in the studio, Marco reminded Maurizio with a smile: “You owe me a record.”
About a year later, Basaltic Plateau finally brought their debut album to life. Drummer Roberto brought with him a solid background from the early 2000s, having played in several bands on the Bologna scene. After moving to Sardinia for study, he settled there permanently, becoming the rhythmic engine of the trio.
The debut album, »Dead Dinosaurs Echoes«, is a sonic journey through the cracks of time and consciousness: expansive psychedelia, desert stoner rock, and abrasive noise come together to create a hypnotic, raw, and deeply evocative musical experience. As spiritual heirs of the ‘90s underground scene, Maurizio Cau (guitars and synths), Marco Serra (bass), and Roberto Loscerbo (drums) craft soundscapes suspended between dream and nightmare. Guitars roar like ancient volcanoes, synths evoke cold and distant stars, while bass and drums pulse with the force of a land in constant motion.
The album moves along a double track: on one side, it’s a lysergic trance, a cosmic drift through dunes, oceans, and astral storms; on the other, it’s a dark reflection on the relationship between humankind and nature, on the corruption imposed by greed and war. The tracks echo a buried past, geological, mythical, and ancestral, where forgotten creatures and primordial ghosts are awakened by the plundering of resources and industrial fury.
