about

Antonello Recanatini‘s new album is called “Abruzzo Invented Punk” and I'm very happy to release it for Nova Feedback Records as our first production.
The title of this new work from the “sci-fi folksinger” refers to some friends joke and a t-shirt made after which funny reference to a particular anti-authoritarian attitude that rarely is associated with people coming from and living in this particular italian region (like me and Antonello, by the way).
Beside the introduction, as some of us (and some of you, I hope) have learnt in these years, Antonello Recanatini has realized another serious album for quality of content and ideas: AIP, in fact, signs another step forward for the solo career of ours truly, improving his artistic research that more than ever tend to dig in the textual aspect (I honestly think that is actually one of the best lyrics writer Italy has to offer now) while, in the meantime, he tries to renew the traditional aspect of folk-rock, mixing with them a lo-fi / punk mood that can even trascend in moment obscurity ala Leonard Cohen or, like other listener have stated, Death in June.

This album, more than any other works Recanatini released before, propose a really interesting and noticeable cut to a genre that, here in the belpaese, in the last times, is becoming more filled with cliché and stereotypes, badly politicized without having an important lyrical spirit great Italians authors (like Fabrizio De André, Piero Ciampi, Luigi Tenco and Giorgio Gaber) have been capable to infuse in their masterworks.
In other words and being quite frank (somehow even unpleasant), I firmly believe we are in a moment not particularly brilliant – regarding this genre – for originality and quality of themes, but – in the other hand – I believe also that Antonello Recanatini, moving clearly in the opposite direction, is one of the serious answers for this lack of ideas and contents.

Abruzzo Invented Punk takes the road the author started to walk in Alone and Glass Nerves, creating an outstanding and perfect mix of existentialism, political view, science fiction references (Philip K. Dick and Isaac Asimov mainly) and cinematographic impressions that coexist in a reality that seem always to be crumbling as every song take the place of the previous. And most of all, this is a work of a man with no owner, may it be religion, politic / ideology or money, a nation or a state, not aligned and still capable to have the courage to express his ideas in the form he prefers, not bowing to “market’s rules” just for the sake to be another “white collar” corporate man.

Knowing this, I really invite you to check this disk and this author out and support him if you have already listen to his production.
