Exploration

Ah, if there's one thing we love at Pitchfork, it's a good ol' exploration. And who better to lead us on a musical journey than the Italian psychedelic jazz-funk outfit, Calibro 35? Their latest release, "Exploration", is a sonic exploration like no other. From the moment the needle hits the groove, you're transported to a world where the bassline is king, the horns are bold, and the drums are as tight as a hipster's skinny jeans. It's like your ears are taking a ride on a glitter-covered rollercoaster through a groovy, hazy sunset. The album kicks off with "SuperStudio", a track that oozes coolness and sets the tone for what's to come. "Death Comes at Midnight" is a gritty, menacing cut that will have you feeling like you're in the middle of a heist in the sweltering heat of a Italian summer. But it's when the band really lets loose on tracks like "SyncroVox" and "Stefania Camarossa" that you realize Calibro 35 are masters of their craft. These songs are a whirlwind of funk, soul, and pure musical wizardry that will have you grooving in your seat like a crazed dervish. In short, "Exploration" is a must-listen for anyone who craves the unexpected and revels in the thrill of musical discovery. Calibro 35 have crafted a sonic adventure that is both sophisticated and utterly bonkers, and we can't get enough. Bravissimo, ragazzi!
