Rating: Published at the doorstep of summer 2012, "Le Sirene di Luglio" is the first track released by Jacopo Incani, alias Iosonouncane, after the debut album "La Macarena su Roma".
The track continues in the wake of the electronic and—I dare say—psychedelic sounds of "La Macarena su Roma" with the use of keyboards, guitars, drum machines, and (more or less) effected voices, which recall Black Dice, Animal Collective (and less so Panda Bear compared to the album) and at certain points a more flamboyant Flying Lotus.
As for the lyrics of "Le Sirene di Luglio," one can find references to the first album where there’s the song "Summer on a spiaggia affollata" (simultaneously a tribute and a distortion of the title of Battiato's song) in the setting of the track: the sea. The lyrics, written in collaboration with the writer/music journalist Bobi Raspati, frame the sea from the perspective of a boy who wakes up on the beach after a drunken binge.
"I try to sit and breathe four memories devoured by a swarm of mosquitoes sand in my shoes and in my hair the curious people around staring at me without stopping"
And now we await the second album, which, according to Incani, will be released in 2013 and will follow different paths than its predecessor.
