Dejligt
Dejligt

Vibration, another vibration, a text message on the phone: "Tonight Dejligt concert at Bukowski, 9:30 PM, I'll be happy if you're there, Teo".
Good old Matteo, what have you organized tonight? When in the only accessible space for minds worn out by monotony, Bukowski, in this dreary town of deep Veneto, there's an interesting evening, it is always better to take advantage of it. So I head towards the bar (it's freezing tonight), not knowing what awaits me.

Well, the little concert is over, let's move on to the purchased album. Dejligt, which means "fun" in Danish, is the new (solo?) project of Matteo Dainese, drummer for Ulan Bator since 1999, also featuring the collaboration of Enrico Molteni, already on bass for Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti. The album, self-produced, is Matteo's attempt to revisit in an acoustic key much of the material that, over the years, he has managed to accumulate in his various and multiple collaborations.

Dejligt is intense and dark, moving and shrill. Through five strictly acoustic songs, with hints of sampling, more or less psychic, certainly soft, Matteo takes us into his intimate vision of music. The voice, opaque, sometimes whispered, manages to complete every song, without weighing it down, but making it vibrate slowly.

Acoustic minimalism, warm cosmic spaces, dim lights veiled by the notes coming out of the stereo. Slight flashes of melancholy assault me from behind while the tracks flow before my eyes and infiltrate my thoughts. I light a cigarette, turn off the light, sweet aroma of tobacco... The album ends, there's still time for another listen, and another one still. Everything starts over again, I light another cigarette... Well done Matteo...
