A warmly positive look at Fit & Limo’s 1982 artifact Internazionale: lo‑fi textures, free clarinet, percussive clangs, and an affecting Italian‑sung folk piece on migratory sadness. The review notes playful moments (an Italian menu recitation), post‑punk edges, harmonium and drills, and a tender tribute to Nico’s “I’ll Be Your Mirror.” Influences name‑checked include Incredible String Band, C.O.B., and Pearls Before Swine; there’s also affection for their Barrett cover.
