DELREI\u00a0Curtarock Festival (Live in Curtarolo, 07\/26\/2024)\u00a0<\/strong>ARC330 \u2022 617026233024 \u2022 Digital \u2022 February 28, 2025
Genres:\u00a0<\/strong>Blues Rock, Gothic Americana, Post Rock, Alt-Country
RIYL:\u00a0<\/strong>Ennio Morricone, Spaghetti Westerns, David Lynch, Federale, Spindrift\u00a0\u00a0Alessandro Mercanzin: guitar & harmonica
Davide Dalla: bass
Giovanni Beghetto: percussion<\/strong>

In 2023, Projekt released the iconic\u00a0Desolation and Radiation\u00a0<\/strong>debut from DELREI, Italian Alessandro Mercanzin\u2019s\u00a0Spaghetti Western symphony of the post-apocalyptic west. The album of noir western desert blues was primarily a solo work. A year later the enigmatic guitarist and multi-instrumental did the unexpected: he brought a dusty wind-ravaged trio to the stage, performing captivating recreations of his studio ideas with\u00a0the shadowy twang of electric\u00a0guitars, spectral\u00a0melodies,\u00a0Giovanni Beghetto\u2019s\u00a0propulsive percussion, and\u00a0Davide Dalla Pria\u2019s\u00a0driving bass all orchestrating a mythic western of the future. \u00a0

As Alex preps the follow-up to his much-playlisted debut, Projekt brings\u00a0you the live album\u00a0Curtarock Festival<\/strong>. It showcases DELREI\u2019s visionary neoromantic sound: a wordless chimera from the melancholic future.

Alex reflects, \u201cIt was so exciting to take this album I created in the studio and capture its essence on stage. It gives the music fresh life and a new energy. Curtarock Festival was our first show!\u00a0Hearing this live album, it\u2019s fantastic to\u00a0relive\u00a0that magical night. I love how the songs are\u00a0reanimated: somehow\u00a0playing live with a band is always a rock\u2019n\u2019roll experience and a proof of authenticity. I mean, hitting drums with sticks or plucking guitar strings without all the candy-precision of a studio album. I\u2019m so pleased with what we achieved,\u00a0we won\u2019t forget the energy the crowd gave us. I think that influenced the way we played that night quite a lot.\u201d

Italy\u2019s Ondarock wrote about\u00a0Desolation and Radiation<\/strong>:\u00a0This is an ambitious instrumental album (in which) Mercanzin recreates desert sounds that only the guitar can achieve, combining the desert-rock atmospheres of Calexico, the soundtracks of Ennio Morricone with a dystopian science fiction background.\u00a0Mercanzin handles the spaghetti western clich\u00e9s with skill, giving a certain regularity to the whole, while in places country and more evocative moments (\u201cEnsenada\u201d or \u201cSolitario\u201d) are an enjoyable listen reminiscent of the nightclubs of Twin Peaks.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
