Trust the Mask are an electro-pop duo created by musician and composer Elisa Dal Bianco and singer Vittoria Cavedon. Elisa has a background in classical studies at the Conservatory of Vicenza, before moving on to the study of electronic music at the Academy and subsequently at the CIMM College of the Venice Biennale. Vittoria approached singing as a self-taught singer, she studied privately and since 2015 she has participated in various musical projects.
Emerging from their conceptual cocoon back in 2021 they began their journey with the hypnotic, tribal debut ‘Solstice Ritual’, the undulating ‘Cloudy Again’ and later in 2022, the luscious ’Opaque’ and the bracing ‘Crisis’.
Now, Trust the Mask share their second slice of dynamic synth action, in the form of the glitch infused, futuristic cyber-pop single and accompanying visual ‘Otaku’.
Injected with industrial sounds and punctuated with Vittoria’s ethereal, otherworldly vocals, ‘Otaku’ is then laced with a piercing middle eastern-esque pipe which cleverly combines the essence of the ancient and the futuristic.
Again, co-written with electronic producer Matteo Vallicelli from The Soft Moon/4AD then mixed and mastered by Maurizio Baggio (Boy Harsher). ‘Otaku’ is an incredibly exciting, exotic and utterly exhilarating instalment of their upcoming debut album project Idiom.
