Afternoon Naps
Parade

"Parade" is the classic album enjoyable from the first listen. A lively album like never before, full of sparkling melodies, thanks to colorful keyboards supported by simple yet effective guitars and fast-paced and snappy rhythms. Tracks with a very short duration, but impactful, indeed they stick in your head like a stamp. Music that bursts with joy from every pore, in short.

The tracks of "Parade" all land at the same airport, but on different ramps, which is to say that the basic formula is the classic sixties pop that then unfolds in delightful twee pop and indie pop episodes, always very rosy and effervescent; reminiscent of the best Field Mice, the latest Cats On Fire and clearly the much-cited Smiths and Belle and Sebastian.                                                      

All in all, nothing new, but cheerful and carefree enough to put a smile on our faces.

Rating: 7/10
