Sikitikis

The Profile

Sardinian group from Cagliari known for blending lounge/exotica and garage impulses with a strong cinematic bent. Across the 2000s–2010s they shifted from noir-inflected atmospheres to sharper, reality-soaked vignettes, releasing Fuga Dal Deserto Del Tiki, Faiv Quaestions To Mr. Diablo and Dischi Fuori Moda.

Origin: Cagliari, Sardinia (Italy). Debut album Fuga Dal Deserto Del Tiki features “Donna Vampiro”, “Non avrei mai” (with a video homage to Dawn of the Dead) and “Umore Nero”, plus a cover of Mina’s “L’importante è finire”. Second album described by the band as more compact and louder, with New York mastering. Dischi Fuori Moda addresses the precarious 2000s generation with bright sounds and incisive lyrics.

Sardinian outfit with a taste for lounge/exotica and garage hues, born from a love of film music. Debut praised for range and craft, with a notable Mina cover. Second album is louder and more defined; third turns the lens on the 2000s’ precarity with sharp, compact writing. Overall reception is warmly positive.
