Tag: Full of Fire

I find it difficult to express the joy in listening to a new Fortunato Durutti Marinetti tune, most often because I feel my words are inadequate to describe a poet such as he. Alas, there’s a new record on the horizon titled Bitter Sweet, Sweet Bitter, and our first listen already puts you on notice that the craft is something beyond special. It seemingly opens with a spoken word moment, but within five seconds, the arrangement work that elevates a Fortunato takes off; horn blasts, wiggling guitars, jazzed up drums all build the texture that serves as the background to his latest piece. You’ll notice a similarity to a Destroyer, but if I’m being honest, Marinetti has a slightly tighter grip on melody, softening the distinctive accent as his charms sweep across your speakers. This new album should definitely fill you with listening joy, so grab it from Quindi Records before July 25th.
