Skank Bloc Records 02 by Gli Insetti Nell'Ambra

Skank Bloc Records 02 review

Gli Insetti Nell'Ambra are a guitar-bass-drums trio based in Paris. They are not Parisian,
though. The singer is Italian (as a result, the lyrics are Italian) and the drummer is Japanese.
Only the guitarist is French. They have been active in the Paris underground scene for a few years.
Gli insetti nell'ambra, or insects in amber, are creatures preserved for millions of years in fossilized resin: they exist in geological time rather than in human time. They have been through psychedelic and garage rock, punk and post-punk, kraut-rock, alt-rock, post-rock...
(Television, Pixies, P.I.L, DNA, Pop Group...) the title of their album, 2072, refers to the year when they plan to come back between us, already programmed in the control panel of their plutonium DeLorean.
The eight tracks on "2072" are inspired by: Werner Herzog and his film "Echoes of a dark empire" ("Granchi"); René Daumal and his "Mont Analogue" ("Satori"); Giuseppe Garibaldi ("Garibaldi fu Ferito"); Demetrio Stratos' "Cantare la Voce" ("Lallazione"); Greek myths ("Trip"). Last but not least, "99:1" is the (very free) Italian translation of a Charles Bukowski's poem with the same title, from "Love is a dog from hell".
