Cadmio - EP (2011)

Yo!

9.3

/Art rock, Indie, Alternative rock, DIY, Noir rock, Post-punk/

Comment: this handful of tracks is produced by the Italian musician Luigi Palmieri whose instrumental ones are composed with the spot on glowering guitar riffs and sprawling hooks and uplifting propulsions which are backed up with sublime synth textures full of emotive lines and intriguing forms. At times the whole reminds a bit of an outtake dragged out from the post-punk/noir rock/art rock scene. It can be compared with Vini Reilly`s guitar work, for instance. Delicious by any means.

Nicolas Joseph Roncea - Impossible Roncea EP (2012)

Yo!

9.4

/Indie folk, New Weird Italy, Psych-folk, Acid folk, Art folk, Chamber folk, Singer-songwriter, DIY, Dream folk, Folk indie/

Comment: there is a handful of tracks spreaded out over 19 minutes. The affective, mostly dreamy vocal side on it is interlaced with sublime sonic manipulations-electronic effects and exciting guitar fingerpicks/and arpeggios and well composed guitar riffs. Emotionally it is rather depressive than soothing, though some parts on it sound more relieving due to their orchestrated magic dust. In any cases, Roncea (born in 1987) can be compared with such Italian experimental/indie folk musicians as (Carlo) Barbagallo, Distape, Artwood, Emme, Nick Rivera, Winstonmcnamara, and Menion.
