Kscope is a London-based label specializing in the progressive genre of current music. Launched in 2008, it is a division of Snapper Music, one of the industry's most respected and influential independent labels.

With an impressive roster of talented artists, Kscope has become synonymous with innovative and boundary-pushing music. The label prides itself on discovering and nurturing unique talents who are pushing the boundaries of what is possible within their respective genres.

From *Steven Wilson* to *Anathema*, *TesseracT* to *The Pineapple Thief*, Kscope represents some of the most exciting and critically acclaimed acts in contemporary music. With a focus on quality over quantity, each release from Kscope is carefully curated to ensure that it meets the high standards set by the label.

NOSOUND is an English/Italian alternative rock band formed in 2002 by Giancarlo Erra. Known for their diverse musical styles including alternative rock, post rock, electronic, and ambient music, NOSOUND initially consisted solely of Erra who composed, played, produced, engineered, and released the early recordings. As demand grew for live performances, Erra assembled a talented group of musicians who would later become full-time members of the band.

Influenced by renowned artists such as *Radiohead*, *Sigur Ros*, *Pink Floyd*, *Arvo Pärt*, *Brian Eno*, and *Bark Psychosis*, NOSOUND has crafted a unique sound that captivates audiences worldwide.

The current lineup features Giancarlo Erra on vocals, guitars, and keyboards; Paolo Vigliarolo on guitars; Marco Berni on keyboards; Orazio Fabbri on bass; and Ciro Iavarone on drums. With their impressive discography and captivating live performances, NOSOUND continues to leave a lasting impact in the music industry.

The new album from Nosound, 'Allow Yourself', is a new expression from the group who have grown alongside their evolving and borderless label Kscope. The new material is a stripping back of what has come before, and its inspirations are in a different field altogether, based on founder and songwriter Giancarlo Erra's own shifting interests. "Time has arrived for a radical change towards an alternative and electronic direction, being the music I have enjoyed the most in recent years." Erra reflected on the direction of the new material, "The title 'Allow Yourself' reflects this need for change, freeing myself from past stories and influences. The lyrics have also gone through change, becoming more about hope, about the present and how to influence it. The writing and sounds are now more focused and minimal, guitars were left behind in favour of analogue electronics, acoustic drums work with drum machines, vocals are much more central and upfront with a different approach to singing. The whole album was recorded in analogue using vintage effects/techniques and synths, from Juno and string machines to modern classics like Electronic Engineering OP1."

CD edition is a digipack reverse-board packaging with a 16-page booklet.
