about

After the celebrative homage to community in his debut album 'A Congregation of Folks' (2021), the profound defiance in his second album 'What Reason Could I Give?' (2022), and the reinvention of sound and self in his third album 'They Radiate Energy Outward' (2023), Daniele Germani steps into what I might call a celebration of tranquility against the unknown with his fourth album, 'The Alternative is Unthinkable' (2024).

This record sprouted from Germani’s artistic period of fascination for our universe. During this time, a great deal of inspiration came from wondering and learning about the greatness of our existence. I believe this outward focus arose after, and perhaps because of, the inevitable impact of that 2020 worldwide experience which I am tired of naming. When we were on the other side of it , I dare say, Daniele’s soul wanted nowhere to gaze but up and out. Thus, The Alternative is Unthinkable began to take form [...]
