L’estate è già finita da un pezzo, il freddo inizia a farsi sentire e questo clima di merda tende a deprimermi ulteriormente. Per fortuna i cari Sensibles mi concendono l’ascolto in anteprima del loro nuovo lavoro A Bunch Of Animals, il primo full length dopo la classica trafila demo-split-7” (già recensito qui), e un sorriso demente finalmente si stampa sul mio viso.
Registrato e mixato al Tup Studio da Bruno Barcella, l’album, grazie alla Rijapov Records, sarà disponibile sia in cd che in vinile a partire dal 12 Ottobre in concomitanza del release party (tutte le info qui).
Grafica e layout sono stati curati da Stella, cantante della band: in copertina c’è Dino, mascotte della band, che sogna tante simpatiche bestie.. un tema decisamente ricorrente nel disco. Ok parliamo un po’ di musica.
Nel corso degli anni i Sensibles hanno sviluppato e perfezionato un proprio sound, chiaramente ispirato al powerpop/bubblegum/rock moderno ma non disdegnando il sound ’60s, per fortuna senza quelle odiosissime tastiere, che mi innervosiscono dopo 15 secondi.
Mi vengono in mente band come Muffs, Yum Yums, Rezillos e perchè no anche Twistaroos…e A Bunch Of Animals spazia proprio in questi territori: 12 pezzi sempre sotto i 3 minuti per meno di mezz’ora di musica immediata, spensierata e soprattutto divertente: formula praticamente perfetta per conquistare il sottoscritto.
Pezzi come Happy, I’m A Brat, Silly Song,Dear Otzi ( ho avuto l’onore di fare una comparsata da perfetto imbranato nel video che dovrebbe essere pubblicato a breve), I Want Your Blood – per me il pezzo migliore del disco – sono entrati nella mia testa con una semplicità disarmante dopo un paio d’ascolti! I brani che ho appena citato, non a caso, sono tra quelli che hanno una spinta maggiore e a mio avviso rappresentano il vero punto di forza della band. Se siete alla ricerca di una mezz’oretta di buona musica il mio consiglio è di contattare la band oppure la Rijapov Records e procurarvi quest’album.
» ENGLISH VERSION «
The summer is already over since a while ago, the
cold begins to bite, and this shit weather of shit tends to depress me
further. Luckily the dear Sensibles gave me the opportunity in
listening to a preview their new record A Bunch Of Animals, the first
full length after the classic die demo-split-7”( previously reviewed here), and finally a demented smile is printed on my face.
Recorded and mixed at Tup Studio by Bruno Barcella , the record thanks
by Rijapov Records will be available in both CD and vinyl , starting
from 12 October to coincide with the release party ( all the details here).
Graphics and layout have been made by Stella, lead singer of the band:
in the cover there is Dino, mascot of the band, who dreams about so many
funny animals .. definitely a recurring theme in the disc. Ok let’s
talk a little about music.
Over the years, TheSensibles have developed and perfected their own sound ,
clearly inspired by the powerpop/bubblegum/modern rock sound but not
disdaining the ’60s vibe, fortunately without those hateful keyboards ,
which make me nervous after 15 seconds.
I can think of bands like Muffs, Yum Yums, Rezillos and why not also Twistaroos … and A Bunch Of Animals ranges in these territories : 12
pieces always under 3 minutes for half an hour of music immediate,
carefree and especially fun: practically perfect formula to conquer
myself.
Tracks like Happy, I’m A Brat , Silly Song, Dear Otzi ( I had the honor
to make an appearance as a perfect geek in the video that should be
coming out soon) , I Want Your Blood – for me the best track of the disc
– came into my head with a disarming simplicity after a couple of plays
! The songs I just mentioned, not surprisingly, are among those who
have a greater thrust and in my opinion represent the real strength of
the band.
If you are looking for about half an hour of good music, my advice is to
contact the band or Rijapov Records and procure this album.
