Vikowski, an Italian new wave and post-punk band, is set to release their sophomore album, Consistency, on January 30 via Icy Cold Records. Initially a solo synthpop project by Vincenzo Coppeta, the band evolved into a darker sound with the addition of Lorenzo Pisanello and Alessandro Panzeri. Their 2015 debut EP was followed by The Long Run in 2021. To tease the upcoming album, they released the Dedication EP, which features four singles, including the reflective titular track that delves into themes of loyalty and shared future amidst challenges. The album is available for pre-order in various formats.
What does the evolution of Vikowski’s sound say about the broader trends in modern post-punk and new wave music, particularly in how artists navigate personal and collective themes in their work?
