Babalot

Babalot began as a band and, according to reviews, later became centered on Sebastiano Pupillo (vocals and guitar). Reviews highlight two albums: Che succede quando uno muore (early band work, 2003) and Un segno di vita (a more experimental 'antidisc', 2006). The music blends electro-pop, lo-fi and Italian singer-songwriter traditions.

According to DeBaser reviews: Che succede quando uno muore was released in 2003; the group was signed by Aiuola Dischi; Sebastiano Pupillo is cited as vocals and guitar and later the one-man force behind Babalot. Critics compare elements of the work to Bristol-influenced trip-hop interludes and to the Italian singer-songwriter tradition (references to Rino Gaetano appear in reviews).

Two DeBaser reviews praise Babalot's blend of electro-pop, lo-fi and Italian singer-songwriter tradition. The early record (2003) is described as an underground masterpiece; a later release (2006) is praised for its experimental "antidisc" approach. Recommended for fans of inventive, slightly rough indie music.

For:Fans of Italian indie, electro-pop, lo-fi and experimental singer-songwriter music.
