Less than 6 months after the dual release (the original version + a remix version) of their debut LP “1979,” Casa Del Mirto are back with their second release. The Italian label Mashhh! Records will only be releasing “The Nature,” a double album, on vinyl and in digital format, and it will be available as of September 1st. The album contains 17 tracks which are by no means an ecological statement, but rather an expression of the idea that nature is cyclical.
“The new songs are the result of drawn out crises and major soul- searching,” says Marco Ricci, CDM’s mastermind. He claims that love has allowed him to understand how to move forward and manage his own life. Ricci further explains the meaning of his statement as follows: “All we have to do to see inside ourselves is look out the window. Those who claim the night ends are lying. Those who say the sun cancels out all shadows are lying. What I gathered while recording "The Nature" is that we are all our own explorers. I’ve drawn a map and am making it public. The music is perfectly synchronized with the beating of my flighty heart. The synthesizers are like waves, strong enough, at times, to cover all the rest. The frightened, insecure vocals allow themselves to be overtaken and carried away by the waves.” This is a choral album, very much along the international and cosmopolitan lines of “1979,” and it is not by chance that The Guardian has included it among its pick of this year’s best releases. Praised by critics, it has also been acknowledged by drugapulco mate Washed Out. This album is choral insofar as it speaks to the world thanks to guest vocals by the likes of Freddy Rupert of Former Ghosts, Tjinder Singh and the rapper Dylan Jones. It is the result of teamwork on the part of the entire band. It is, however, also very intimate. It is so intimate that its author has included a second record in an attempt to step away from his own, introspective voyage and welcome collaborations marked by the exchange of conversations, agreements and hugs. The binding element here is mainly ideological. There is no single, main genre, yet there is a unique, identifiable style. Influences include Italo disco and its chill-wave, cosmic evolutions that are channelled to create an instinctive flow that seeks, and perhaps finds, eternity within delay. Saturations which radically change the physical and mathematical concept of music give way to libido, sensory experience and animal instinct. Music and nature come together and turn instinct to poetry and vice versa.
