Comment: Macchiato Funky is a quartet from Italy whose line consists of such musicians as Michele Seggiaro (guitar), Massimo Ferretto (guitar), Nicolò Seggiaro (bass guitar), and Adriano Bossola (electronic & production). I would like to compare Macchiato Funky with Tortoise but the main difference between the combos is that Macchiato Funky`s music used to lean more toward yacht rock-ish horizons rather than flirting with jazz-y edges. Yet, the line between these stylistic characterizations is relatively thin. At times even funky rhythmic patterns used to drive the course (however, it is a bit more synthesised funk than the music of Pop Group, or Gang Of Four due to prominent role by Adriano Bossola). Similarly to Tortoise they use electronic layers and sonic effects around the pace in an adept and intriguing way. Otherwise, the music is an artsy alternative rock/post-rock example being issued on an Italy-based imprint, La bèl. Great album by any means.
