Slivovitz: All You Can Eat
ByEach piece tells a story or casts a compelling vibe. For example, "Persian Nights" sounds more like an Ennio Morricone spaghetti western soundtrack due to Marcello Giannini's tremolo shaded surf guitar licks, leading to the frontline's perky contrasts and weaving patterns. Other tracks commingle rocketing grooves and briskly populated unison choruses with a few Chamber- like interludes and jazzy outbreaks by saxophonist Pietro Santangelo. Nonetheless, the ensemblewhile sustaining a signature and well-defined deportmentis cohesively all over the musical map.
Di Perri's whispery phrasings on "Barotrauma (La Zappa sui piedi)" take you to a villa on the Mediterranean Sea. You can feel the breeze caress your soul, followed by the musicians' odd-metered contrapuntal implementations amid the Zappa influences and playful interludes, consummated with little big band-like choruses. But Santangelo's warm sax notes reframe the band's thematic articulations atop a budding motif towards closeout. Moreover, "Currywurst," proceeds with an in-your-face gait, underscored by a punchy jazz rock impetus, and heightened by Di Perri's intense soloing. Without a doubt, All You Can Eat is a gourmet aural experience, fabricated with exquisite delicacies and ambient milieus.
