Ah, Perturbazi one. Great band. Pop-rock polite and intelligent, very rare commodity in our country. Saturday night the sound of Skylab Terni, which by the way is also a great place to hear a concert. The tour follows robbed of our time, the band's fifth studio album came out last spring in Piedmont, which marks a return to an independent label (Santeria) after the troubled experience with EMI, which lasted no coincidence that the only time Pianissimo Fortissimo 2007. A double album, consisting of twenty-four songs. Crazy stuff, almost. But just listen to understand why Disturbance did not want to discard even a song are all good. And above all seem urgent and necessary.
"It's so," says the singer Tommaso Cerasuolo. "In recent work we were very closed in on ourselves. There was a whole series of mutual vetoes that had come out a very sound 'average' as a prototype of the 'sound disturbance'. In any event, a round lot of stuff. So at some point we said we wanted to feel more free. We wanted more edges. When we devote ourselves to projects in parallel, we succeed, so why we should not with the disturbance? You been a long time, when we revised our method of composition. Before the texts we wrote them almost just me and Gigi (Giancursi, guitarist, ed), Who have put their hands all this time. Just as the melodies. And the result satisfies us very much. "
course a double-disc EMI you would have done it difficult to do.
"I do not know. You know, the problem with them was all in the way of working. There was this atmosphere of constant 'is the crisis', 'everything goes wrong', again, to bandage the head. We did not like. And they obviously did not like too us. But that's okay. That said, I do not think that independence is a flag to carry, a ghetto in which confined. We would not mind to reach a wider audience. But not at any condition. "
When released into the circulation in 2002 the word "indie" in Italy rhymed almost exclusively with "rock". That rough and Afterhours Marlene Kuntz, the electronic Subsonica. Your record was an isolated case. Today, we hear a lot more stuff to your pop-rock, to use two words in a label that can identify your music. What has changed?
"Look. First, the definition I like pop-rock. Because we want to be rock to the extent that it is about being revolutionaries in everyday life. But also we want to be pop, folk, to reach people. As for the flowering of a new indie scene, the issue is complex. Surely there is a natural generational change. And then the emergence of all these singers may also depend on the fact that take up a band, economically, it is increasingly difficult. Finally, I believe that the time is a bit 'harder for everyone than they were ten, twenty years ago. It is normal for a record that speaks more to intimacy seize the mark ".
no coincidence that you called to sing in your tooth Bungiorno Buonafortuna.
"Yeah. We met a couple of years ago in Salem, and we became fast friends. When we wrote the piece it seemed that the last part of this series between empathy and grotesque elements, was ideal for his poetry and his voice. When we called and took a train came. Let's try, he said, and it worked. "
last thing. Italy is full of young bands who sing in English. You have started well, but, understandably, the success you have achieved switching to Italian. How was the transition?
"It was a long process. When you're young it is normal to begin with English, for the stuff that plays all day. Then mature and understand what is necessary to communicate with people in front of you. The Italian groups that continue to make music in English after years and years without ever trying to get in the game going to play abroad, a little 'make me sad. They should have the desire to see if they are understood, accepted, rejected. But no. I admire a lot for me as Marco Fasolo, Jennifer Gentle, even if I do not love the music he does. It does so to bring a deck forward his plan, the songs are in English but must always be on tour in America, is now fully part of a certain scene. Having said that, who knows that sooner or later do not do it again, a record in English. But only if we promote it well outside Italy, only if we can go to disgraced around the world. "
