THE REVIEW
There is still something to refine in the recent debut, freely downloadable on their bandcamp, of the four young Milanese Miavagadilania, yet this does not detract from the fact that, overall, it is a work worthy of (moderate) attention.
Built on the sacred four-pillars of bass/guitar/vocals/drums, the album navigates through mutable and shadowy (sad)rock textures enhanced by pleasant and mostly emaciated vocal lines, elegantly delivered in Italian.
The ten tracks are supported by ample instrumental excursions between nebulously rarefied atmospheres (“Nau”) and moodier, pulsating tones (“E’ vero”, “Demoni”) occasionally arriving at vaguely whining rock lands (“Fili rossi”).
To give some referential nomenclature: they oscillate between the primordial Marlene Kuntz and the guitar interplays of Blonde Redhead pre-senescence, developing their own misty plots in a (moderately) personal manner, reaching, in certain episodes (“Solo come addio”), moments vaguely post-Fugazi-like: Shudder To Think but also some Chokebore aren’t so far off.
In chiaroscuro balance, yet always outside the shadowy cone of the muffled limbo constituted by Italian indie-dependent rock.

Summary by Bot
Miavagadilania's debut album offers an intriguing mix of shadowy and sad rock textures with delicate Italian vocals. While some refinement is needed, the band's sound navigates between influences like Marlene Kuntz and Blonde Redhead, adding a personal touch that occasionally recalls post-Fugazi bands. The album features ten tracks that balance moody atmospheres with guitar-driven interludes, making it worthy of moderate attention.
