Hugo and the Italian instrumental band Sacri Cuori, with American violinist Vicki Brown, are Fatalists. Hailed in the press as "hypnotic, raw and transfixing" and "dreamlike and metaphysical in the face of reality", We Never Had Control merges folk, experimentalism, electronica and rock. Recorded in Italy, We Never Had Control is a beautiful trip through the dark nights of our souls.
