LA RECENSIONE

Just one LP released, dated 1995, and it's this one.

The Raymond Brake have been described on the web as "Polvo but more oriented towards the song format."

And this says practically everything about the type of music that will welcome you.

As for the quality: I could tell you that the album is great, and I do say it, but as we well know, the true verdict rests with your ears and your hearts.

What to talk about, then, now? Well.

Perhaps about the fact that the more you explore and listen to music, the more you get to know bands and delve into genres, and the harder it becomes to discover new things.

A bit like in life: the more experiences you have, the more that sense of electrifying wonder diminishes.

But let's set aside the melancholies: as long as there are hidden gems to find like Piles Of Dirty Winters, there will be hope.
