Cramps A Week Before Period

Jennifer Gentle - The Midnight Room-


The Jennifer Gentle (one man band led by Marco Fasolo) is not the usual indie Italian. It seems as if they lived in a world apart, and perhaps because of this they managed to cross national borders and to play even in China. But certainly not because their music is open to some new trend of trade. Indeed, with this new work (written, played and sung by Marco Fasolo only in a remote house on the plains of Polesine who has lost the street drummer Alessio Gastaldello the historian), Jennifer Gentle close even more in those atmospheres only hinted at in previous "Valende.
There is a certain structure. It starts with the ghostly "Twin Ghosts" that seems to end with a litany "Come Closer" that travels on the same frequencies. There are pop songs ("Take My Hand", "Electric Princess") and as usual, Syd Barrett peeps in every song, but this time influenced by guitar like Link Wray (composer unknown to many, but famous for having played the column sound of the television series of Batman in the '70s nda) like in "Telephone Ringing "and" It's in her eyes "how wonderful to combine rock, psychedelia and film music to Nino Rota. "The Ferryman" is a baroque dance and foggy and it is perhaps one of the best pieces. In "Mercury Blood" guitars intersect with the '50s sound ridiculous and scary at the same time of the kazoo in a folk song counterpoints adorned with repetitive guitar and keyboard. Continue
delirious with songs like "Quarter to Three" to get a plan with the apex of the anarchist crazy and out of tune "Granny's House".
This album is more personal record of training in Padua. The atmosphere is dark, night, feverish and hallucinating. The psychedelic has become less conservative than previous Fasolo making it possible to combine the influence of rock n 'roll '50s to that of European composers.
Definitely a great job in just over thirty minutes ago, "travel" one might say. And as for the production and realization comes to mind the saying "Who is saying ..."
