The twins – Alessandro, Adriano - and company – Fabio and Giuseppe from Low-Fi, began the year actively with a release of an album with intriguing title "What we are is secret".
It is worth underlining that this is the first LP of the Italian group which already exists few years but still hasn’t put out a truly genuine album.
Their music belongs to a genre bordering between new wave and electro, inspired by post-punk of the eighties.
On a musical journey full of the unexpected, we are taken by the remarkable "Something", a song which gripped my heart absolutely. It is disturbingly magnetizing – our unrest being triggered by the music, while the repetitive "does not make any sense" put us under hypnosis.
The following songs lack the brilliance of "Something" – they are just…good.
In my opinion they are arranged from the best to the weakest. Second tune "Daylight" is aesthetically second best. Third track, "Dead disco syndrome #1" for me is the third best track on the album. There is quite a strange dependency in song order. It appears that they are arranged to ignite listener’s imagination and then, all of a sudden, put it out with somewhat tedious tracks.
Anyway, it makes an interesting whole, with surprising simplicity here and there, something I just need sometimes.
I will certainly return to this album, in fact I already do.
Tracklist:
01. Something
02. Daylight
03. Dead disco syndrome #1
04. Speed control
05. What we ar eis secret
06. Private revolutions (feat No More)
07. The evidence of a missing link
08. On the scene
09. Steinhaus
10. Piano Metal
