There is no doubt: a dream must be protected. The dream Sacromud It was to record al Sun Recording Studio: first and only Italian group, after ElvisAfter Johnny CashAfter Jerry Lee LewisAfter Roy Orbisonafter the U2.
That dream has become a new album: 'The Sun Experience', anticipated by the song'The Mule', available on radio and in all digital stores starting from Friday 11 April.
'The Mule' it was recorded analogically in the legendary Sun Studio Of Memphiswhere i Sacromud use the tools of the time, like the original piano with which Jerry Lee Lewis he immortalized 'Great Balls of Fire'In October 1957.
The Mule It is a metaphor that takes its cue from the film of the same name by Clint Eastwood: The drug dealing and the double life of the 'old' here have an even more 'narcotic' nature: the old man makes the music 'played' music that has become clandestine and outlawed.
For arrangement Maurizio Pugno uses the wind section of the Cape Hornsgetting help from the flow of Mississippi and from the sound he made Wayne Jackson And Andrew Love the Memphis Horns.
“This is the song that more than any other projects horizontally in our dream; A dream that has really become a physical journey in Tennessee. ” announce i Sacromud“The Mule It is a hypothetical 2 miles walk that saw us walk slowly during an exceptional snowfall ai Memphisfrom the 706 by Union Avenueseat of the Sun al 926 East by Mclermore Avenueseat of the Stax Records».
The video clip is an emotional synthesis of this registration session for Sun: the amazement of being the only Italian band to record not a song, but an entire album, in a single place, playing together with the notes attached to the walls of Junior parker, BB King, Howlin 'Wolf, Rufus Thomas, James Cotton, Little Walter, Ike Turner, Dr. Ross And Little Milton.
