BIO / OVERVIEW

Italian heavy rock trio DUNE AURORA rise from the Turin underground with their debut full-length “Ice Age Desert”, a hypnotic and powerful journey through dark fuzz, grunge undertones and desert psychedelia.
Curently formed by Ginny Wagon (vocals, guitar), Roberta Finiguerra (bass, backing vocals) and Serena Bodratto (drums, backing vocals), the band crafts an immersive sound where heavy, monolithic riffs meet haunting atmospheres and melodic intensity.
Following the success of their 2022 debut EP Lonely Town and a string of acclaimed singles (Solar Reward, Sail, Fire), DUNE AURORA now unveil their most ambitious work to date. “Ice Age Desert” delivers nine tracks of dynamic heaviness, mastered by the legendary James Plotkin (Isis, Pelican, Earth), confirming the band’s place among the most exciting acts in the new wave of European fuzz rock.

ABOUT THE ALBUM

Ice Age Desert explores the duality between power and introspection. Each song flows into the next, building a cinematic soundscape that bridges stoner rock heaviness, grunge sensibility and psychedelic textures. With its mix of vintage warmth and modern edge, the album stands as a must-listen for fans of Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats, Jess and the Ancient Ones, Acid King, and Ruby the Hatchet.

Rated: ****

The album comes out on Argonauta Records this Friday, the 21st of November! But if you, by any chance, stumble around Stoner HiVe this evening… Well now… You might just be treated to the FULL ALBUM PREMIERE of this wonderful new album called Ice Age Desert by Italian trio Dune Aurora! 

And on one such evening, not too long ago, drifting through the ether, I was introduced to Dune Aurora as well. A formidable trio from Turin, who are mysterious, indulgent and feel like a stoner rock band straight out of the romantic age. It felt like I was discovering a new and half-forgotten speakeasy glowing beneath the desert moon, which borrowed its atmosphere from the grand soirées of yore. And after later inspection, their EP Lonely Town already hinted at this promise. Raw but glimmering like the first spark of a champagne toast.

And now, three years later, with the clutter pared down and their vision sharpened, they arrive glowingly at their debut full length release Ice Age Desert, which announces itself like a cold wind sweeping across a ballroom left open to the night. A sound that has grown heavier, richer and perhaps more daring. Riffs rolling in a steady deliberate force. Confidently strutting about the place and leaving the flashy solos for others. With vocals, floating clean and cool above the grit, like silk brushing softly against steel. 

A brisk, blues-tinged flourish opens the album, ushering the listeners into a frozen dreamscape. Followed by a track filled with groove and raw swagger. And then comes Dune Chameleon, which slips in a sly familiar riff, echoing youthful rebellion beneath all the frost. Momentary flashes of doom might pop up here and there but are often swept to the side by something sharper. And then there’s Sunless Queen, which broods with a patient and regal menace. 

But what dazzles most perhaps, is the cohesion.  Their kaleidoscopic sounds of desert haze, garage rumble and ethereal melody are woven together with such deliberation, that the tapestry they create feels complete and beautiful. A pure and bold statement, as though Dune Aurora has stepped confidently onto a vast glittering stage and claimed it as their own…
