Pescegatto

A good rock album. Not the best by Bugo, nor the best rock album ever, but still a good record. Noteworthy is the version of "Nel giro giusto" featured at the beginning of the album, especially in the vinyl version.

Electronic pop-rock singer-songwriter. It’s definitely one of Bugo’s most underrated albums, if not THE most underrated. It may sound harsh, but if you listen closely, it’s clear that Bugo has made giant strides in his lyric writing here.

A tremendous record, one of the best indie rock albums of 2017. It made an impact.

Single from June 2019 that anticipates the release of the album Full Hand, the cover features a guy pretending to ski and the song is about a boy who wants to see a handsome guy dance after taking a ride on a horse behind the house. Or maybe it’s a metaphor… Who knows!

Documentary made during the studio rehearsals and recordings of the "Yield" album by Pearl Jam. A documentary not for everyone, about an album not for everyone, by a band not for everyone. But, guys... Jack Irons on drums, and I've said it all.

Super-concise album, songs stripped to the essentials, but they work well. These are folk songs with a pop structure and melodies, lyrics reminiscent of '90s emo (to be clear, it vaguely reminds me of Sunny Day Real Estate, without the cliché '00s emo tropes about suicide and depression, but with a strong sense of melancholy). Clearly, the biggest limitation is the brevity of the songs and the simplicity of the arrangements. It's a great record to listen to if you have 20 minutes to relax.

A simply beautiful album, it caught my attention in my trusted record store with that particular photo printed on the cardboard cover. I asked the shopkeeper, who didn't know it well either; it's already strange that a copy of this record made its way to Italy, to my small town. I've ruined it from playing it so much, and there's no point in making the usual comparisons with the old lions of American folk-rock to which it seems to draw inspiration.
