Elio Ricca

Elio Ricca is an indie rock duo that turns limitations into spectacle. Armed with just a baritone guitar, drums, and an obsession with original melodies, they create explosive live shows that feel anything but two-piece. Over the years, they have built their reputation the old-fashioned way: from mold-infested basements and sweaty clubs to festival stages across Switzerland, all while developing a fiercely independent artistic vision. By now, Elio Ricca has established a distinctive DIY universe of its own, where music, visuals, and storytelling are inseparable.

"If we were a movie, we would probably be an eclectic low-budget action drama, with a few sex scenes and no happy ending."

The new EP «Enough Dog», delivers Elio’s most honest and ambitious work to date. Blurring the lines between post-punk, synthwave, and modern psychedelia, the EP explores the strange loneliness of modern life—social anxiety, restlessness, and struggles with self-consciousness—without losing the artist’s signature sense of irony and lightness.
 

«Enough Dog» was written and recorded in just a few days, relying heavily on the magic of first takes, analog gear, and the duo's characteristic instrumentation. With this new EP, Elio Ricca delivers deeply personal yet universally relatable anthems for anyone who has ever felt like they just don't fit in.
