Plan de fuga is an Italian band formed around the year 2005. In 2009 the band signs their first contract with the independent label About Blank. Their music is a mix of rock, pop, funk and dark. The bands intention is to blend different styles while never forgetting where their inspiration comes from. In a minute is the expression of different emotional shades, where every song reflects a number of different phases in the bands life experience. A kind of crossover of moods and colors and sounds. Plan de fuga in Spanish means “escape plan” and it stands for the bands urge to spread their musical message and perform as much and as far as possible, that is also the reason why the lyrics are in English. The album In a minute has been recorded at “Registrazioni sotterranee” studio, put together for the occasion in Montichiari, Brescia (Italy). All songs are produced by Filippo De Paoli and Plan de fuga. Engineered and co-produced by Gianmarco Martelloni, in particular “Decadance” and “Blame”. Mixed at Kitchen Studio (Milano) by Lorenzo Caperchi. Mastered at MassiveArts studios (Milano) by Alberto Cutolo.
