Ratbones – Spaghettification

With killer cover art by Riccardo Bucchioni, Spaghettification is Ratbones’ way of escaping reality. One of the wild inspirations behind it? Pier Fortunato Zanfretta, a Genoese night watchman who, back in ‘78, claimed he got abducted by aliens—one of the craziest UFO cases ever recorded. Some tracks dive into isolation and miscommunication, using his story as a metaphor for feeling totally lost and alienated. Others embrace the sea, tying it to freedom, escape, and the band’s hometown identity.
