Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as their major-label breakthrough, 'La malavita' refines vintage Italian cinematic aesthetics into a sophisticated indie pop framework. The arrangements are deeply informed by traditional canzone d'autore and grand progressive pop orchestration. It acts as a stylishly grim observation of modern life, anchoring the band at the forefront of contemporary Italian alternative music.
