When A Scorpio Is Hurt

[42 Records/24] Mamavegas - "Icon Land"

La collana digitale "24" dell'etichetta " 42 Records " ci presenta un'ennesima best indie band of the Italian landscape, these are the Mamavegas. Designed by the brothers Francesco and Daniele Petrosino, are transformed in the current band (with Andrea Memeo, Emanuele Mancini, Matthew Portelli, Marco Bonini) after moving to Rome and to have made different and decisive changes in the line-up. Just nine months after the previous " This Is the Day! I See... " released by 42 Records always here to get this wonderful "land Icon" small post-folk-rock gem. The opening is for the sinuous "Felt" which immediately brings me back to certain sounds dear to Barbagallo, probably in the likeness of some voice. Mamavegas damage again proved to be excellent musicians with an above average creativity in developing this track a singular and elegant arrangements that (especially in the final) report to certain sounds "British" (Beatles, Verve, etc). "Safe Machines" smells of spring, bike rides, with her beautiful voice in the warm presence, and a central gripping instrumental part. The scant six minutes of "Fortune" (Icon land), Ep-bolt, take us a long elaborate structure of singular taste, each new change is accompanied by its predecessor with naturalness, as if everything had already been written in an ancient book of perfect music. Another feature not to neglect the Mamavegas is certainly a wise harmonizing voices and choirs, well represented in the semi-country "Yes we run."
The ep ends with the twilight and whispered "Loyal", leaving a pleasant feeling in my body that I will listen again to all the songs several times. I apparently live Mamavegas know infuse a lot of energy, so if you happen to find them in your area do not miss it.
