Ritrovarmi fra le mani un disco come questo mi emoziona, perchè abbassa
drasticamente il livello di mediocrità dell'indie nazionale, tanto è
fresco, ispirato, geniale, accattivante e di ottima produzione. Non per
niente c'è lo zampino di Marco Fasolo dei Jennifer Gentle [vedi su komakino recensioni e interviste..], che arricchisce la folle psichedelia pop di questo disco (senti Hi! Goodbye!, - ritornello memorabile - Beatrice è
Jennifer), - disco che Vi lascia stupefatti nelle Sue scelte e
naturalezza. E' come assistere in un teatrino ad un bagno lisergico di
cucchiaini danzanti in sincro con Beatrice Antolini, cantante, pianista
e su altri diversi strumenti, con talento e divertimento. Un misto
gustoso di zucchero a velo jazz (Michael Night), tappeti di suoni ricercati per sporcare la perfezione twee-pop raggiunta, schegge psichiche anni 60 (senti il finale di Monster Munch). Brother's bone mi fa pensare a The Gentle Waves tanto è godibile, - Turtle and Peach in Love invece a quanto piacerebbe a Kazu Makino dei Blonde Redhead visto il melancolico giro Gainsbourg-iano. Riule Ule, Applebug and His Doll, come l'iniziale Bread and Puppets sono delle gemme, e credo che insieme a Denise (di The Bid), Beatrice sia una delle Artiste più rare in bellezza dell'indie no_strano, - e soprattutto, Big Saloon
è un album debutto completo, un bel pezzo d'Arte sonora. - Il disco
esce il 24 novembre, si può acquistare anche tramite paypal dal sito
della mad cap.
+++++++++++++++
An album like this gives me hope that the italian indie scene can be brilliant and original as well, such this record is fresh, inspired, bright, catchy and well produced. Not for nothing, but there's also Marco Fasolo of Jennifer Gentle [read koma reviews and interviews] playing some instruments here, making this psychedelic pop opus even more precious (listen to Hi! Goodbye!, great chorus, - Beatrice isd Jennifer). An album that surprises with its choices and naturalness. It's like You were in a small theatre, enjoying a lysergic bath of dancing spoons, moving in syncro with Beatrice Antolini, sweet singer, piano player (even at other instruments), with talent and fun. A tasty mix of jazz icing sugar (Michael Night), sounds carpets well researched to stain the reached twee-pop perfection, - psychic splinters of 60s (hear the final part of Monster Munch). Brother's bone makes me think of The Gentle Waves, such it is groovy, and Turtle and Peach in Love makes me wonder how much Kazu Makino of Blonde Redhead could dig it, seen its Gainsbourg-ian melancholy riff. Riule Ule, Applebug and His Doll, as well the opening Bread and Puppets are gems, and i think that together with Denise (of The Bid), Beatrice is one the rare female music beings worth to be called Artist in local indie no-scene, - and last but not least, Big Saloon is a debut album complete, a perfect piece of sound Art. - Release due to november 24th, paypal-able at mad cap collective rec.
