Le Zoccole Misteriose
Mangiacuori, canzoni d'amore per il nulla

THE REVIEW

Le Zoccole Misteriose, an alternative punk/stoner band, finally returns to the scene with their second career album, "Mangiacuori, canzoni d'amore per il nulla" in collaboration with Umberto Palazzo on the track "Briciole".

We start immediately with a simple and catchy riff, that of "Mangiacuore". The lyrics leave room for understanding, revolving around its absurd nonsense.

“La crisi, l'amore e le zoccole,” THE FIRST, is a fundamentally punk album, yet enriched with various influences due to the large group of people who have contributed to the lengthy evolution of the project.

The complex historical journey of Le Zoccole Misteriose merges with the predominant nature of the lyrics, which are ironic, raw, and always readable on different levels of interpretation.

Let’s move on to "Piangere e gridare", the most expressive, not to mention "Briciole". Guitar riffs reminiscent of Kyuss and Helmet. We move through solitude and multitude with a hefty dose of paranoia, reaching "Gino l'animale", my favorite track. The return to the absurd is evident, but it’s a mild adherence certainly below the threshold of the first album.

Critique of society with irony and mockery, because "Troppi cagnolini con i loro cappottini" is a nice wave of insults directed at the masses. "Il risveglio" closely resembles the morning after a hangover, somewhere between Primus and '90s sound.

Everyone should listen to this album, you might find yourselves hooked. Providing more information would undermine the concept of mystery.
