LA RECENSIONE

The answer to the musical crisis that has persisted for a good 8 years, causing a complete lack of new ideas, sparks of genius, rebellion, meaningfulness in songs, and pure simplicity, comes directly from this duo of young twenty-year-old artists.

By their own choice, the two have decided from the start to remain completely unknown, never giving interviews, never making videos, and even hiding their names, abbreviating them simply with a five-digit numerical code, inspired by the international ATM circuit code.
The rare concerts held (without ever announcing the locations of the shows) have always been received with what can be described as feverish anticipation, already reminiscent of concerts in the style of the '70s. A genre of music not for the masses, something to protect, and that they themselves want to protect from the greedy eyes of mediocre people incapable of listening and understanding music.

With "Black," they offer us songs that are almost entirely instrumental, and others with sung parts, drawing heavily from genres such as punk, jazz, and ambient-electronica. Songs like "Veleno" know how to capture and move immediately on the first listen, thanks to the heavy, dark, and deep atmosphere they manage to recreate. Just listen to "36+36 72", an excellent work where the sax (36) and the accordion (36) intertwine to create "72" (that is, the union of sax, accordion, and drums) evoking amorous courtship. Among others worth mentioning are "Slave" and "Dai Die", where they impress with their sampling and musical reworking skills.

The fact that something is moving, and that for now they are still a niche group, makes this CD a rare gem. Now only time will tell how things will turn out.
