In
2011 they released an eponymous début Ep featuring five interesting
tracks drawing from a wide range of influences. The overall sound is
a beautiful mix of Mediterranean colours, Latin atmospheres, folk,
jazz, progressive and Italian melody.
In
2012 the band released “Something new”, a second EP with a
slightly different sound. They chose to sing in English and in my
opinion it's a real pity because they seem more at ease when singing
in their native language. Although there are still many original
elements in their music, The Beatles here are one of the main sources
of inspiration and for the first track they even shot a video with a strong vintage flavour.
Anyway the EP is really
worth listening to and I'm looking forward to their first full length
album.
