Frànçois & the Atlas Mountains - Halage
68

EN - IT

Seventh album for the French project Frànçois & the Atlas Mountains.
A French Indie Pop and Electropop record with touches of Folktronica and Dream Pop.
There are some very interesting details and stylistic choices in the production, but something is missing — a component capable of blending everything together, a binding element.
The voice comes across as fairly anonymous, and the melodic lines are also quite similar to one another.
10 tracks for a total of 30 ... read more

Ditonellapiaga - Miss Italia
75

EN - IT

Third album for the Roman singer Ditonellapiaga.
Electropop that picks here and there to enrich itself with different styles and influences.
There’s a thread connecting this record to the previous album.
If Flash carried the desire to hold on to a sort of link with adolescence, with this new work you can feel that Margherita is coming to terms with growing up, realizing that carefree living is becoming less and less present.
Musically it’s sharp and very catchy, with highly ... read more

Friko - Something Worth Waiting For
82

EN - IT

Second album for the Chicago band Friko.
An Indie/Alternative Rock record that borrows the exasperation typical of Midwest Emo.
You can feel a certain frenzy, a desire to do something important with courage, but not without fear.
There’s an awareness that this could be the album capable of making them take the big leap after the excellent response received by their first record.
Musically speaking it’s very loaded, maybe slightly overloaded, but it works.
It’s an ... read more

TOMORA - COME CLOSER
72

EN - IT

Joint album by Norwegian artist Aurora and English producer Tom Rowlands (The Chemical Brothers), who merge their names together to create Tomora.
Electronic, EDM, and Art Pop with an at times Post-Industrial attitude, even if the voice brings you toward completely different landscapes.
Aurora probably only shares the bangs with the rave world, but she fits into the role extremely well, proving that she could adapt to any context.
The productions, and the songs in general, are uneven: ... read more

東京酒吐座 [Tokyo Shoegazer] - Remains
78

EN - IT

ifth album for the Japanese band Tokyo Shoegazer.
A tautologically Shoegaze record, with some leanings toward Alternative/Post Rock, but fundamentally coherent with the name they carry.
Huge guitar reverbs, slight bass distortion to make it more grainy, an ethereal female voice lost in the wind, and drums that, while simple, manage to push the tracks forward like the second row in a rugby scrum.
8 tracks for a total of 39 minutes — they don’t reinvent anything, but ... read more
