After attracting attention with the first three singles and gaining space in Spotify's editorial playlists, i Lovvbömbing! they reach the finish line of their recording debut with PISS! PEAS! PEACE!album released by Vina Records. For this work, the band from Cesena chooses the spontaneity of direct recording, a rough, instinctive and visceral sound. Between art punk, garage, psychedelia, noise and hardcore, the ten tracks on the album tell of an authentic expressive urgency and an attitude that favors energy over perfection. Pitchfork included them among the best publications of the period and we met them to talk about the birth…

Let's remember Irene Fargo four years after his death: the voice that brought the opera to Sanremo Four years ago he disappeared Irene Fargosinger and performer with an elegant voice who in the early nineties managed to carve out an important space for himself in Italian music thanks to his participation in the Sanremo Festival. On the anniversary of her death we retrace the career of an artist who, despite having garnered the affection of a faithful public, today is remembered less than her career deserves. Originally from Palazzolo sull'Oglio, Flavia Pozzaglio in art Irene Fargo he began to make…

Laptop twee, or indietronica revival, or whatever we’re calling the insane ways Gen Z is torturing singer-songwriter music inside Ableton nowadays, is, by nature, an intersection: a place where everything from skramz to cloud rap to glitch pop collide. This wide range of influences allows artists to apply the ethos to a wide range of styles. They can go full micro-sample bricolage, as early progenitors ear did on their latest Rumspringa; they can push further afield into lo-fi outsider folk, like London duo Bassvictim on ?. Or they can embrace the mess and blow it up into Age of Adz…

Viviamo in un’epoca curiosa: per anni il rock ha alimentato il mito dell’eterna giovinezza, salvo ritrovarsi oggi con i suoi protagonisti principali che hanno superato abbondantemente i 70 anni (e spesso anche gli 80) e che continuano a salire sul palco con una naturalezza che, più che sorprendere, dovrebbe ormai indurre a cambiare prospettiva. Parlare di rock geriatrico, espressione che ciclicamente torna fuori ogni volta che Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, Who o Neil Young pubblicano un disco o annunciano un tour, significa probabilmente osservare il fenomeno in modo sbagliato. La vera domanda non riguarda tanto la loro età, quanto la…

Lykke Li was in the car listening to the news on the radio when a strange sensation came over her. Maybe it was the Los Angeles sun's fault, but suddenly she felt like she was watching the world fall apart from a distant spaceship. «It is the era of AI, of war, of capitalism, of climate change. We're at the afterparty. There are still a few moments of euphoria left before total chaos.”From that thought was born his sixth studio album, entitled precisely The Afterparty. It revolves around one question: “How can we continue to have hope and believe in…

Almost forty years after the original releases, Litfiba announce the reissues of “17 Kings” and the live “12/05/87 (Open your eyes)”, two central titles of the era of the so-called “Trilogy of Power”. Pre-orders of the new editions are already available. “12/05/87 (Open your eyes) Live”, recorded at Tenax in Florence during the last date of the “17 kings” tour, will return from June 19th on double vinyl, both black and colored. The album documents one of the most representative phases of the formation composed of Piero Pelù, Ghigo Renzulli, Antonio Aiazzi, Gianni Maroccolo and Ringo De Palma. For the…

Most of Delia Beatriz’s work since 2019’s breakthrough System EP has been experimental, anthropological, and rooted in software. First there was The Long Count, where the Mexican American producer and NYU adjunct professor, better known as Debit, used machine learning to reproduce the sounds of ancient Mayan instruments, infusing ghostly ambient with dread and a sense of wonder. Then she took on cumbia rebajada, a slowed-down subgenre of cumbia from Monterrey, and slowed it even more, using granular synthesis to create an album of equally unsettling drone. Both those records came out on Modern Love, a UK imprint known for…

Brutalismus 3000, the Berlin electronic duo comprised of producer Theo Zeitner and singer Victoria Vassiliki Daldas, call their music “nu-gabber post-techno punk.” They deride Berlin’s techno scene as painfully serious and “unstylish,” cringing at ravers self-styled as revolutionaries. They shoot music videos with happy crews of children smashing and spray-painting TVs. And if they had to write a manifesto, they’d title it “Fuck Shit Up” (or “We’ll Kill a CEO”).This devil-may-care attitude befits the duo’s loud, aggro, in-your-face music: scrap-metal synths and air-raid sirens, jackhammering hardstyle kicks, and banshee shrieks that sound like they’re being shredded through chopper blades. Brutalismus…

Like the supermassive black holes they once sang about, Muse, too, have been collapsing in on themselves thanks to their own ludicrous gravity. Music historians tend to overstate the timeframe of this terminal condition; the band always had plenty of pomp and ceremony but, at its best, that brashness was paired with a poise which made you feel like the ship was at least being steadied by an able captain. Somewhere around the point of 2009’s The Resistance, though, Muse really did double down on the assumption that more is more: dabbling in whomping EDM, hopping on the Stranger Things…

The band pushed back two dates at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas Rush announced that its remaining two dates of a four-show run at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, have been postponed after lead singer and bassist Geddy Lee was diagnosed with laryngitis and bronchitis. In a statement shared to Rush's official Instagram account, the band said that the June 20 and July 2 shows will now take place on July 11 and July 13, respectively. Lee was advised by doctors to “rest and recover before returning to the stage,” the group said. “This is incredibly disappointing for…
