LA RECENSIONE

Maurizio Riglione, hailing from Bolzano, releases his self-titled album for Seahorse and takes the luxury of recording a lo-fi album live to capture the emotions and sensations of a wide-thinking songwriter. A debut album intentionally raw and skeletal, almost as if they were recordings from the beginning of the last century. Much uncertainty and lightness, improvisation, and free interpretation. A strong desire to experiment and to try. The result is a series of songs varied in genre and form. A cradle where time, always so frantic and tired, can sway and rest. Stories that tell dreams, ideas, adventures; songs that express the desire to play and err. A return to that simplicity which is now buried under the waste of modern times. Just a guitar, a voice, nothing more. The album is perfect for anyone searching for a sort of genuineness and purity, a longing for musical nakedness that destroys the notion of studio boosting products to make them more "beautiful." An album that would be delightful to listen to in any circumstance, to calm daily stress and one's mind, like a tiny dose of romance and lightheartedness that should never spoil. For all those seeking the right harmonies and vibrations, Maurizio Riglione is truly a great daily meal. Recommended!
