Single released by the dark priestess of the moment, also favored by Sasha Gray. Two tracks, 'Hypnos' and 'Flame', recorded during the sessions for 'Abyss', plus three demos that will presumably be part of the upcoming project. Only for the super-fans or those who genuinely need to feel sad and depressed.

EP released by this fantastic psychedelic rock band from Santiago de Chile on the eve of the release of their LP, 'Fireride' (2011 album, but reissued by Hozac Records last year). Four songs that I would describe as somewhat dazzling for a sound that on this occasion might closely resemble that of Bobby Hecksher's Warlocks.

In the end, 'Higher Truth,' Chris Cornell's latest album, is a record that I would define as professional. Having found himself in an acoustic dimension, where he delivered his best performances outside of his historical project, Soundgarden, he releases an album that displays a certain maturity in terms of awareness as a songwriter, which I believe is lacking in other former grunge artists (including Eddie Vedder himself, who has been overly celebrated for the soundtrack to 'Into the Wild'). The fact remains that it is not an unforgettable album, but perhaps that would have been asking too much. Old fans are sure to enjoy it.

Chris Forsyth & Koen Holtkamp: The Island
17 may 16
Recorded over two days in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with production by Jeff Zeigler, 'The Island' (Trouble In Mind Records) is the result of the second collaboration between Chris Forsyth (Solar Motel Band) and Koen Holtkamp (Mountains). Four instrumental tracks, with a duration of less than half an hour, that emerged spontaneously by blending Forsyth's typically 'desert' orientation with Holtkamp's electronic settings and textures. The result is a mix of sounds that will surely appeal to those who are passionate about genres like kraut and more reflective, almost meditative episodes ('Long Beach Idyll', 'Cosmic Richard'), sounds that convey that visual sensation of an absolutely boundless horizon, like looking at the desert or the cosmic space.

The first album from the lineup assembled by guitarist Chris Forsyth. 'Intensity Ghost' is a record of seemingly old-fashioned psychedelic music (purely instrumental) that could remind one of giants of the genre like the Grateful Dead and Quicksilver Messenger, as well as the more acid and experimental episodes of Neil Young. However, if we add that some guitar work might evoke the taste and style of someone like Tom Verlaine, who definitely doesn't belong to that musical strand, we can say that we are faced with something that, while not strictly definable as absolutely original, is certainly interesting. Highly appreciated.

Claudio Cupellini: Una vita tranquilla
29 jun 16
"A Quiet Life," directed by Claudio Cupellini, tells the story of Rosario Russo and Antonio De Martino, who are actually the same person. A mobster who fled to Germany fifteen years ago after faking his own death, he runs a hotel-restaurant far from the life he used to lead until it suddenly confronts him in all its 'fury' with all the unresolved issues he had tried to leave behind. It's difficult to judge a figure like the protagonist (the usual talented Toni Servillo): he is a criminal and a murderer, but his escape simultaneously represents a desire to rebuild his life as well as a form of atonement. It's easy to say that the moral of the film is that in the end, nobody can truly escape from themselves, but the truth is indeed just that.

Soundtrack of the eponymous and latest film by Nicolas Winding Refn. I have a deep appreciation for Cliff Martinez and place great value on his collaboration with Refn, and this particular case is no exception, where I consider Martinez's musical contributions central to the structure of the film, serving as a backbone or, better yet, something as essential as the plot and the content of the scenes. However, listened to outside of the film, this time Martinez's music has convinced me less than on previous occasions and less specifically than what he has done in collaboration with Refn before. There remains something that a fan of synth-wave or kitschy ambient and electronic music can certainly appreciate.

The comedy, which aims to bring together the young generation’s star Zac Efron with one of Hollywood’s greatest actors, Robert De Niro, is practically one of the worst films (I’m not exaggerating) I have ever seen in my life. It’s not exactly a teen comedy, nor a witty comedy or one that contains any didactic content. At times even vulgar, it’s a succession of situations and gags that are as predictable as they are banal, and rightly make the viewing experience feel like a complete waste of time. Your time.

Masterful psychological thriller directed by Danny Boyle and starring James McAvoy, Vincent Cassel, and the beautiful Rosario Dawson. Writing about the plot in a few lines is practically impossible given the numerous twists and intertwining narratives within the storyline. A film that is essentially a thriller but at the same time a kind of lysergic journey, placing at the heart of the events considerations related to hypnosis therapy and the more or less unconscious removal of memories. The director skillfully explains each key point of the film throughout the plot and until the end, without ruining the surprises for the audience or creating confusion. A beautiful film.

David Hare: Page Eight
28 may 16
British film initially released on the BBC television network (which was also involved in its production). A spy story set in contemporary times where international political intrigues concerning the subtle ties between the UK and the USA regarding the situation in the Middle East and the international policies adopted by their respective intelligence services are intertwined with elements related to the family and personal life of the main character, agent and analyst Johnny Worricker, portrayed by Bill Nighy. And perhaps it is precisely his performance that keeps this film afloat, which, in fact, seems to leak from all sides, boring the audience, and what appear to be mysteries seem instead to have already been revealed or, in any case, not to interest the viewer at all.

A romantic comedy that is at least somewhat original, directed by David Kloepp (screenwriter of 'Jurassic Park', 'Carlito's Way', and 'Mission Impossible', as well as the deadly and rightly denigrated 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'). A cynical dentist, angry with the world and played by Ricky Gervais, gains the ability to see and interact with the dead and what can be called the ghosts of various souls in limbo after complications from a mundane routine procedure. This experience will change his life, leading him to rediscover love and the joy of living. Happy ending. Applause. Curtain.

14 may 16
A film by David Lynch based on a true story, brilliantly performed by Richard Farnsworth, who was nominated for an Oscar for this film. Old Alvin Straight, living in Iowa, learns that his brother Lyle has suffered a heart attack and is in poor health. Eager to reunite with him after so long and lacking a driver's license, he will travel across the USA to Wisconsin (where his brother lives) on a tractor. It is a beautiful story and an original road movie, a great film that speaks for itself and should be watched in one go from start to finish.

The film, half drama and half biopic, not without a touch of irony and some funny moments, tells the true story of Joy Mangano, the inventor of a revolutionary mop and an innovator in the realm of TV infomercials. David O. Russell brings back the trio of Bob De Niro, Bradley Cooper, and Jennifer Lawrence, but the film revolves entirely around the latter, who, in my opinion, is simply brilliant and incredibly talented, constituting the film's real strength. The reason.

Sounds that I would ultimately compare to the rock and roll of Night Beats, but 'Street Venom' manages to sound even rawer, becoming at times almost punk. A pure adrenaline rush.

Deerhoof: The Magic
19 jul 16
One of the most esteemed indie-pop bands, Deerhoof are back with a new album ('The Magic') recorded in seven days in an abandoned office in a New Mexico desert. A kaleidoscopic album in which the band melds together influences from different genres with an approach that connects to kraut-rock and some elements of post-rock music. An album that you could easily define as pop music with components of indie-rock, electronic music, and trip-hop, which places the band close to another realm of independent music like Cibo Matto and a derivative due to the freaky rhythmic section reminiscent of a band like Can. In the end, it’s a good album, but nothing seems to linger with me after so many listenings.

It’s the last film I’ve seen in theaters to date. Directed by Denis Villeneuve, it stars the talented Emily Blunt as a young FBI agent who takes part in a special operation to put an end to drug trafficking between the USA and Mexico. Also part of the mission are two shadowy figures: Matt Graver (Josh Brolin), who leads the operations, and the mysterious Alejandro (Benicio del Toro). Kate Macer, the name of the protagonist, will find herself involved in a world where there is no boundary between what is legal and what is not. Even with some exaggeration typical of the genre and particularly in the portrayal of daily life in Mexico, the film works. It's a great thriller in which the performances of the actors stand out.

An album with a peculiar gestation that, for various reasons, might never have seen the light of day. Initially released only in the USA with the collaboration of excellent musicians including Jeff Beck, Ronnie Wood, and Rod Stewart, the result is an extravagant album with a unique brightness, where the listener, right from the first track, 'Barabajagal', is immersed in an allegorical and visionary dimension, perhaps more acidic than in any of the Scottish songwriter's other productions. 'Atlantis' is one of the most beautiful songs of those years.

E.L. Katz: Cheap Thrills
17 may 16
A pitch-black comedy made in the USA directed by E.L. Katz. Craig (Pat Healy), the protagonist of the story, has lost his job and is drowning in debt: he has received an eviction notice and needs $4,500 to avoid ending up on the streets with his family. One evening, he goes out for drinks with his old friend Vince, and in a bar, they meet a couple of eccentric millionaires, the quirky Colin and the beautiful, taciturn Violet. What starts as a simple drink quickly transforms into a game of continuous bets (complete with cash prizes paid out by Colin) in which this strange and peculiar millionaire invites the two to perform increasingly extreme actions, culminating in a final prize of $250,000. Balancing between horror and satire, with some grotesque elements, the film nevertheless stays within the typical confines of comedy. Very sharp.

Even more pronounced than in their previous work, the references to all that is wave music shine through, both in the arrangements and the atmospheres of the album. The vocals are reminiscent of the best Robert Smith (perhaps even better than Robert Smith himself, let’s be honest). A band that undoubtedly has qualities and an album that is certainly good for fans of an extinct genre that lives on through periodic and continuous revivals. Over and out.

This is a legendary record as much as the first two by Bill Fay and Linda Perhacs' debut album. It took almost thirty years for Ed Askew to release a new studio work (which would happen in the late nineties). The comparison may seem bold, but listen and you’ll believe: the artistic sensitivity of this songwriter is incredible, and what is perhaps most surprising at this point is the fact that even the records recorded afterwards, so many years later, are of exactly the same artistic depth and contain the same emotional and imaginative potential. His voice, and his very particular way of singing, carries an incredible expressive power.

    Maybe you’re right. Let’s say I can only agree with you for one fundamental reason in particular, which is that 'Time of the Last Persecution' is practically my favorite album. Anyway, I mean, Bill Fay and Linda Perhacs, who cares, we’re talking about two giants in fact. 'Ask the Unicorn' isn’t a perfect album, actually, but perhaps its beauty lies precisely in that quirky imperfection, which is further accentuated by his way of singing. I believe that even with the subsequent albums (which we could also not consider inferior to this historic one), Askew has proven that he indeed had and has things to say.

    I was talking about it yesterday with @[imasoulman], who rightly rebuked me for the comparison to the debut works of Bill Fay and Linda Perhacs. In my opinion, 'Ask the Unicorn' remains an album that, besides being legendary for its various stories, holds its own value precisely in this sense of 'incompleteness' that it conveys through Ed Askew's incredible voice. I also recommend his later works. I should mention that I haven't listened to all of them, but this one is not bad, and I really liked 'Imperfiction' a lot.

The album primarily focuses on the international situation following the events of September 11 and the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, proposing themes that are still relevant today. However, here and there, traces are spattered that have nothing to do with the main concept. 'Si scrive Bagnoli' is a mix of his past successes, featuring a version of ''O sarracino' that is half Carosone and half Bob Marley, along with a tribute to Elvis Presley with a ghost track sung in the style of Guccini. If it had been shorter, it might have felt closer to his 'classics.'

22 jul 16
Eli Paperboy Reed consecrates himself as one of the best retro-soul-blues revivalists with his latest album released via Yep Records on June 10. After parting ways with Warner Brothers due to artistic and promotional disagreements with the label, he returned to an independent one where he has much more room in every possible sense. Possibly also a spiritual experience and a figurative comeback. An album of guitar-driven and bluesy soul in which you can hear echoes of Sam Cooke or Curtis Mayfield. It does include a cover of the traditional masterpiece 'Cut Ya Down.' Reed's voice is powerful and dominates the music, and in some moments, it just explodes! 'The Strangest Thing', the title track, and 'Tomorrow's Not Promised' showcase the incredible vocal quality of this artist who grew up in Mississippi and was immersed in the juke joint culture of the Deep South.

EP released in 2014 by Blackball Universe in Oakland, California. Fantastic Negrito draws heavily from the history of African Americans and that of the blues. A guy dedicated to music since he was a kid, a multi-instrumentalist from a Muslim-orthodox family, growing up listening to Afro-traditional music, Arabic sounds, and Funkadelic, he literally converted to the blues after a fatal accident that somehow opened his mind. An interesting record with some soulful passages ('The Time Has Come') and neo-soul and hip-hop experiments ('Fever'). I know his first LP is set to be released soon; I'm at least curious to hear it.

Recorded at Fleetwood Studios in Boston, 'Waleeco' is the only LP released by this psychedelic rock band from Massachusetts back in 1968. A small gem of the genre and, as far as I'm concerned, a fantastic discovery. Eleven tracks of psychedelic sounds typical of that era, between The Byrds and Buffalo Springfield, with deviations that already hint at Velvet Underground ('Midnight Hour,' 'In My Window') and more evocative episodes like 'Satori' and 'Portrait in Grey,' which foreshadow some experiments that later became typical in the genre. Beautiful.
