Bollate Centro, non ci sto più dentro

Il modo visionario e ironico con cui ogni pezzo affronta aspetti dell'ansiogena e piatta vita metropolitana mi mette di buon umore.
Riuscito il mix di ritmi diversi, fuori dal comune le sonorità.
Tra le preferite a un primo ascolto: l'ipnotica "Coma", "Bollate Centro e "Mi
Fa".

Klasse und cooles Album: Nur mit den eigenen Stimmen und zum Teil echt witzigen Lauten, reist Bacco einen mit seinen swingenden, harmonischen und eingängigen Melodien ins Mitwippen und -summen. Kann gar nicht mehr aufhören vor allem die Songs "Uno STraccio" und "Fearless little John" anzuhören. Macht mir gute Laune und ist sowohl für die Entspannung, einen angenehmen Abend mit Freunden und auch für ein bisschen rumtanzen sehr gut geeignet.
Den Text verstehe ich leider nicht, deswegen kann ich dazu nichts sagen.

Auf jedenfall ein Empfehlung zum Anhören, wenn nicht sogar zum süchtig werden!!!

Così è come la vedo.
Mi spiego....

What I like most about Bacco Baccanels' songs is that they are proper well-built songs, sometimes linked to a precise genre. They're "imitations of", but a gentle blend of recognizable genres.
They stand on their feet, they got style and they're skillfully arranged.
Each of them has many of the characteristics that a good pop song needs to me, one above all: I surprised myself whistling them or humming them while under the shower or walking to the bus stop....that's a good point in my opinion.
In this sense Bacco is classic to me.

Bacco is experimental because even though the genres are recognizable (funky, blues, reggae...) the songs are "played" in a very uncommon way (using just a voice that replaces EVERY instrument),breaking many clichès, decontestualizing. Playing rock music only with your mouth?!
Funky songs about the evolution of the species?!
That's why I think Bacco doesn't fit any label or tag properly.
Is this acappella? Rock? Blues? Experimental indie music?


Traditional because Bacco doesn't use thousand recording tricks: the approach is back to basics, the voices (or better..his voice. I think he plays all by himself) are always clear and there to be recognized as voices, you hear just a reverb here and there, but that's it.

Bacco is using the most ancient intrument in the world, in a non conventional manner, to play and arrange "classically pop" songs usually singing the hellish life of a white collar in the big city (in this case it's Milan, but it could be everywhere)

In the end...I like this album a lot!
Songs: "Uno Straccio" ("A rug" it could be the hit-parade single) "Coma" (Andrea Bocelli meets a folk choir to sing the life of a white collar) "Mi Fa" ("It makes me" another easy one, scientific ironicfunky)
