(+39) 375-649-94-64 My Telephone Number Album #01 LP
The duo of Wilson and Dani bring their debut LP stateside by way of Feral Kid Records. Album #1 was released in their home country of Italy in 2024 on the heels of their Demo #1 cassette (all four songs of which appear on this debut). Their sound blends bedroom pop, on songs like“Goldfishes,” with oddball electronic/techno/hardcore breakdowns the band dubs “ROK”—perhaps most notably on the song “Spongebob ROK.” Wilson and Dani take turns signing, groaning, and delivering some fun-as-hell tunes throughout the whole album, though I think I still prefer the more typical song arrangements from the demo. That said, “Friends With Benefits” is my favorite of the new material, with a guitar that oscillates between picked-apart chords and palm-muted fifths, and more melancholic feel than the rest of the offerings. Great track. Between the mouthful and strange concept of a name (has anybody called??), and that ROK sound, this one will keep you guessing, but never leave you disappointed. Excited to see what’s next from these two.
