Among slav fanfare, mariachi, desert sound, spaghetti western and guitar isolationism, this sextet explores the most melancholic lands of tradition, in cinematic noir suggestions and a strong sense of defeat. After a lucky EP and a tour in Italy and Eastern Europe, soon out a full album.
"Un intreccio creativo di ritmi e rievocazioni che vanno dal tango alla musica balcanica e dalle colonne sonore di film western ad una peculiare e dilatatissima variante di surf music" (Rockerilla)
"Un insieme di piccoli, deliziosi quadretti, costruiti su melodie semplici, ripetitive, ma proprio per questo affascinanti, tra echi morriconiani e circolarità tipicamente post" (Il Mucchio Selvaggio)
"This first EP is superb: concise and conceptually focused [...] Simple, spirited and simply beautiful" (All Music Guide)
