“Perhaps the most interesting shoegaze phenomenon emerging from Italy. Unique in the world of Italian shoegaze… nothing short of fabulous”– The Record Stache
“Walls of Sounds from Naples. Get lost in this cool wave of noise” – 50thirdand3rd (NYC)

“Creating some of the best sonic sounds around, not only in Italy, but in my opinion, some of the best in Europe” – Primal Music Blog

Stella Diana have released their vast, compelling EP ‘Alhena’ internationally today and which will be available through Italy’s Vipchoyo Sound Factory and Britain’s Raphalite Records. The first single ‘Shohet’ foreshadows a release full of melodic gems. Tracks spirit you into a state of bliss, underpinned with a harmonic complexity that both beguiles and entrances. Welcome to your new favourite Italian band.

This EP was mixed and mastered by Marc Joy of Lights That Change and Alexander Kretov of Ummagma.

In 2014, Stella Diana released ’41 61 93′ to critical acclaim, finally achieving a perfect synthesis of distorted guitars and dilated sounds. After working exclusively with Spanish and Italian labels, their track featured on the compilation ‘REVOLUTION – The Shoegaze Revival’, touted by Creation Records’ Joe Foster as an unprecedented collection of the best new wave of shoegaze bands. Brazil’s TBTCI Records also commissioned them to play “Leave Them All Behind” for a Ride Tribute album and they also participated in the Slowdive tribute ‘Souvlaki Reheated’ (Seashell Records). They gained further recognition through this and generated a nice buzz in the blogosphere.
