LA RECENSIONE
My latest review on Malibu Ken sparked a debate that I only glimpsed briefly, but caught my interest. Essentially, from what I understood, it was about the musical novelties, their value, and their recognition. This encourages me to provide another contribution to a site that - in my opinion - has a significant need for novelties and fresh ideas to keep up with the times.
This time I will talk about the debut of Anemone, a new Canadian band from Montreal. The fauvist cover introduces us to an album where Rap is absent (much to the delight of many, it seems) but there’s an abundance of Neo-psychedelia. An album released in the middle of winter but that feels a lot like the end of May, when the fields are in bloom, and you go to the beach to sip the first drinks at the bar. "Beat My Distance" is a fresh, brisk, carefree record that smells of lightheartedness, reminiscent of being 17 and riding a bike in a t-shirt. A Neo-psychedelia often tinged with slight melancholy, a vague nostalgia, whose only real flaw is that sometimes it tends to drag on too long. This debut does not aspire to be the album of the year, but rather to leave something within you.
An album that is somewhat contradictory, but therein lies its strength.

Summary by Bot
Anemone's debut album ‘Beat My Distance’ offers a fresh take on neo-psychedelia with a carefree and nostalgic vibe. The Canadian Montreal-based band omits rap for atmospheric melodies evoking late spring warmth. While occasionally dragging, the album succeeds in leaving a memorable impression rather than claiming top honors. It’s a contradictory yet charming record that brings lightheartedness and subtle melancholy.
