Offlaga Disco Pax
Bachelite

Here are the Offlaga again.

They haven't changed at all.

The rhythms are always engaging, the effects are not disturbing, and Max Collini's speech is always expressive.

There's much more electronics in "Bachelite".

This is the novelty.

"Bachelite" wins you over on first listen. You are struck above all by its essence.

But where is the essence of this album? 

It's in the desperation of Carlotta, the twenty-year-old protagonist of "Superchiome".

It's in the cold electronics of "Ventrale".

It's in the irony of "Dove ho messo la golf?".

It's in the splendid beginning of "Sensibile".

It's in the delay of the guitar in "Lungimiranza".

It's inside Barbara, the girl protagonist of "Cioccolato I.A.C.P." who gives blowjobs in exchange for Toblerones, there a little distance from the field mentioned in "Robespierre". 

It's in the ending of "Fermo".

It's in the danceability of "Onomastica".

It's in the memory, which becomes a comparison, that Max has of his father.

The album ends, leaving you full of its music. You will hardly forget the melody of "Cioccolato I.A.C.P.", the absolute gem of this album.

 The only flaw is that it lacks a compelling single like "Robespierre". "Bachelite" works much more on the atmosphere that music can create, rather than on the compelling rhythm.

Max Collini, Enrico Fontanelli, and Daniele Carretti have kept the promises made with "Socialismo Tascabile".  

Let's hope they don't stop here.
