Album Notes & Community Reviews

The idiosyncratic Neapolitan singer-songwriter utilizes acoustic folk and pop-rock structures to deliver a biting critique of modern society and militarism. Thematicly framed around the biblical Tower of Babel, the album features his signature combination of acoustic guitar, harmonica, and passionate, often sarcastic vocal deliveries.
