Måneskin have announced their new album, RUSH! The band recently revealed that the record was inspired by the one and only Radiohead.

Speaking to NME, Måneskin shared that they were inspired by the legendary band in both the writing and recording process. Referencing their new single, “The Loneliest”, frontman Damiano David explained that “people have got our aesthetic, now we’ve got to show the inside.”

Bassist Victoria De Angelis added “It’s a new side for our new audience, but we’ve always been playing ballads. That’s always been a big part of our music, so with this one, we tried to experiment a bit more with the sound. We listened to a lot of Radiohead where they work a lot with pedals.”

Further explaining the inspiration, David said, “I think that the inspiration we got from Radiohead was to be very focused on creating a very specific world for each song.

“It’s something they do very, very well so we tried to create these amazing atmospheres. They really create an image of what you’re listening to, and that gave us inspiration.”
