Homunculus Res

Homunculus Res is an Italian progressive rock band keeping the spirit of classic 1970s Rock Progressivo Italiano (RPI) alive with a playful, modern twist. Hailing from Sicily, the group crafts intricate, whimsical tunes that blend Canterbury Scene-inspired melodies, psychedelic textures, and literary lyricism. Their sound feels both nostalgically retro and refreshingly inventive, often drawing comparisons to iconic Italian prog acts like Banco del Mutuo Soccorso or PFM while carving out their own quirky identity.

Since emerging in the 2010s, Homunculus Res has built a cult following with albums like *Della stessa sostanza dei sogni* (2019) and *Andiamo in giro di notte e ci consumiamo nel fuoco* (2023), which showcase their love for surreal storytelling and kaleidoscopic instrumentation. Their work often explores philosophical themes and dreamlike narratives, wrapped in warm analog production that nods to vinyl-era prog. Though rooted in tradition, their music stays delightfully unpredictable—think vintage synths, jazzy rhythms, and lyrics that’d make Italo Calvino smirk. A hidden gem for prog enthusiasts!
