Psyché II is the sophomore album from the Neapolitan band formed by Marcello Giannini, Paolo Petrella, Andrea De Fazio, and Roberto Porzio. While their debut was rooted in the myths of the Mediterranean, Psyché II pushes beyond those borders. Here, the sea is a living, vibrant route connecting shores and cultures—from North Africa to Brazil, from the Middle East to Colombia. 

The Mediterranean becomes a crossroads of different peoples, traditions, and sounds: cosmic jazz, desert blues, dub, Anatolian rock, and psychedelic funk are distant worlds that meet in a single, pulsating groove. 
This fertile exchange and cross-pollination takes on a social urgency in the collaborations on the album: Ziad Trabelsi on "Hurriya (We Must Resist)," an Anatolian-rock-style celebration of resilience and freedom with lyrics in Arabic, and Merve Daşdemir (formerly of Altın Gün) on "Yallah!", a proud unmasking of duplicity sung in Turkish and built upon the exotic rhythm of a Middle Eastern-inspired dance.

From the heart of the Mediterranean, Psyché II is ready to set sail and reach distant shores.
