For:Fans of experimental and genre-blending rock (alternative, funk-metal, progressive, jazz-influenced music) and listeners who appreciate inventive arrangements and Italian-language lyrics.

 This cheerful gang of Tuscans reworks in a fresh and effective way the formula of bands like Primus and SOAD (certainly the first names that come to mind listening to the record) and injects into it flashes of jazz, funky inflections, psychedelic shards, folk music (in these passages the Italianity is well present) and pop melodies, all seasoned with a taste for arrangements and really remarkable production.

 The clumsy blacksmith is a craftsman who takes care of his work, with the freedom of expression and imbuing originality into what he creates; the clumsiness lies in cleverly blending a tough attitude with a circus-like one.
