"Surely pop has generated an endless flow, you can even build your own little pond, but if the pond is not connected to the river, which in turn flows into the ocean, sooner or later it will dry up and become little more than a pissed and I lived too long to be happy with a puddle "Robert Wyatt.
Long-distance debut for Daniele Faraotti Band, a trio based in Bologna, who for this CD has made numerous collaborations, including Laura's feet that appear on the cover. Debut that mixes indie rock, progressive and vintage pop.
Winners of the special prize in the “A. D’Aolio ”, the trio recorded the album in the Emilian capital and then went to burn it in Finland (if someone explains me why they will be eternally grateful).
Back from the Nordic country, the CD has taken shape and can now spin around in my reader. At first sight, "What You Are Not More" seems a jumble of past experiences, nonsense, experimentation, author pop, vocalizations and oddities. At the second listening, we begin to grasp some aspects that had previously gone unnoticed. The nonsense becomes less nonsense and the author pop goes hand in hand with vocalize stralunati. Daniele plays star, while his fellow avant-garde lovers look at him as devotees.
In his biography he says he writes songs. It is true, Songs uphill, songs always ready to explode, but ending just before exploding. Difficult songs like contemporary music tracks, but here they are bent to a weird pop. Sixteen tracks to listen to and listen in silence, clutching a Faustòo record.
