 Foals expertly play the part of Math Rock with that heterogeneous and unusual rhythmic structure, angular melodies, sounds that go beyond the realms of traditional rock.

Overall, 'Un Giorno' is a rewarding listen for fans and newcomers willing to engage deeply. Listen to Max Gazzè's 'Un Giorno' for a unique blend of vintage sounds and poetic Italian songwriting.
