LA RECENSIONE

Moltheni - "I Segreti Del Corallo"

If the new Afterhours album disappointed you (I Milanesi Ammazzano...) with its sparse and disorienting sounds, as well as compositions that tend to drag you into blind alleys, don't miss 'I Segreti del Corallo' by the Marche-native Moltheni.

The record gently enters your room in the form of a soundwave, twilight and captivating. The room is enveloped in a sound that is indie Italian, elegant and full of grace as only a few can now create; think of Marlene's 'Uno', for example. Musical images, rarefied emotions, a slow slide into that 'void' of salvation, typical of certain psychedelic music from the '70s. 'Vita Rubino', but also 'Oh Morte', 'In Porpora', and all the others, an existential delirium with the lightness of a dream. And then the voice. It certainly seems like Manuel Agnelli, or vice versa... however, here the arrogance of many who flaunt their singing abilities is hidden. Moltheni simply sings, perfect and never out of place. Even the instrumental music remains pleasantly submissive to the grace of the composition, everything achieves a blissful harmony, a peak that tastes of natural perfection. Rhodes piano, moderately acidic guitars, a few percussion and the game is won. And so much credibility then...  

How not to get lost in the instrumental enchantment of 'Che il destino possa riunire ciò che il mare ha separato' and there again is the wave... a worthy image to describe this album of pure intimate rock, and in the wave the coral... with its secrets.
