Comment: it is nice to be back at the discography of an Italian imprint, In Your Ears Netlabel (for instance, I can remember such a great release as Drunkeninstrumentcorporation`s Always The Same 10 Fucking Songs (2016). Luca Calcagno is a self-taught musician who is working in a music store. There are represented a couple of tracks, the first of them, the self-titled track is a straightforward, deeply ploughing guitar-based composition without any adornments and magniloquent overstatements. OK, the whole adornment is embraced by the key changes on the guitar. It is an example of AOR and regarding the emotions it is more suppressed in comparison to the subsequent track. It is a decelerated chamber/soul/pop rock example with bombastic sweeps on the guitar and full-fledged fringes on synths. It is a rock balladry without growing into disgraceful sensations and embarrassing feels. All the lyrics are sung in Italian.
