It seems nostalgia is the best thing these days. So tired of all the same ol same ol type of music that the mediocre artists put out there? And don’t even get me started with the autotune. Listening to Electric Sarajevo seems to have closed the walls of time and transport us to an era when electronic music was such a cool thing to explore. Everyone was wide-eyed and there were tons of records made in the name of sophistication and passion.

Madrigals is an auspicious introduction to this band from Italy. With full-bodied sound and interesting melodies, one has the desire to stay longer. if only the walls we build ourselves in the name of nostalgia would hold for a while and make us  satiated with electro and new wave experience. Musicians who are in the current lineup are : Massimiliano Perilli: Voice, Guitar /Paolo Alvano: Voice, Guitar / Andrea Borraccino: Bass /Stefano Tucci: Synths, Programming. And now you understand why the sound is fantastic! And  I love the Italian accent in the English songs.

Elaborated, disarming and mature, songs from Madrigals always inspire and enliven. Notable tracks are Lost Impero, Watercolours, Teresa Groissman and The Madrigal. Take note of the explosive avalanche of sounds in Teresa Groissman along with the sumptuous male voice. Check out their single If You Only Knew now available in youtube. The video shows the band singing in the movie theater against  a backdrop of what appears to be a fascist video during the second world war. The dark theme compliments the music which is melodic but has disturbing edge.

So what’s the idea behind the creation of Madrigals? According to the band: The theme behind those Madrigals is the love seen in the mirror, that cry out for revenge, the seek for a refuge. These are stories from different angles but always driven by that same strong and self-destructive feeling to the pursuit of peace in your heart!

Interesting.
