Released: Aug 2011
Label: Italians Do It Better
Mike Simonetti founded the New Jersey hardcore label Troubleman Unlimited in 1993, and he runs the disco-influenced imprint Italians Do It Better, home to Chromatics and Glass Candy. His debut album is a rich, reverent ode to synth-pop at its most timeless. "Song for Luca" drinks from the same melancholy font as Superpitcher or Lawrence; "Dust Devil" pays tribute to Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells." The opener, featuring Sam Sparro, is a candy-colored, slow-motion ambient disco whirligig; "Aculpoco," a reprise, calls to mind 10cc and medieval motets against a backdrop of birdsong.
