Releasenotes:
Giardini di Mir≥ really needs no introduction. Hailing from Cavriago, Italy, a
small town near Reggio Emilia, the band released its first EP in 1998 and not
only put out a ton of records ever since, but has been touring both Italy and
the rest of Europe like crazy. So far, the band has released four full-length
albums, the discography however also includes a multitude of EPs, remixes and
exclusive tracks for compilations. While not working with the band, GDM's
members engage in solo projects, tapping into sounds and genres, one would not
necessarily expect from a band deeply routed in guitar music. The band also
collaborated with and commissioned remixes from artists like Cyne, Dntl, Hood,
Alias, Apparat, Piano Magic, Opiate, Isan and Herrmann & Kleine. Giardini Di
Mir≥ has been on City Centre Offices' watch ever since the band started out. In
2010, CCO finally started to work with GDM, releasing the critically accaimed
"Il fuoco", the band's soundtrack for Giovanni Pastrone's silent movie from
1915. As a first release in 2012, City Centre Offices now releases "Good Luck",
the band's first proper studio album since 2007.
Good Luck (explained in the band's own words):
There is something spiritual in the Emilian countryside, made of minimalism,
simplicity, geometry, natural lines guiding the eyes. Our album was recorded and
mixed in San Prospero û Correggio, near Reggio Emilia (Italy), not far from
where CCCP recorded their master piece ôEpica Etica Etnica Pathosö, an album
which has been considered to be a milestone in the italian alternative culture
for the last 25 years. We put our memories in a special little drawer. A drawer
we opened up again and again while writing ôGood Luckö. ItÆs a surprising little
box: details, places, people, expressions, long sequences, intrusive strangers,
familiar faces. Every musician knows how much time is spent in the van and how
many things go through one's head travelling from one gig to the next, putting
the foot down on the motorway, trying to make it in time. From Munich to Berlin,
from Luxembourg to Milan. It all just seems endless. Some songs on the new album
were written, refined and tested, while we were on tour, but the record got its
special flavour when we went into the studio. The flavour of our homeland, the
scent of its earth, visions of its open spaces, straight lines, huge landscapes,
unconscious or intentional parallelism between modern life and a farm, a dairy,
a piggery. The fifth album in our discography has been recorded like it was
homemade, in a private place among close friends. Ever since we started out as a
band, we've loved collaborating with friends we value and we are proud of. "Good
Luck" is no exception. Sara Lov (Devics) sings on "There Is A Place", Stefano
Pilia plays guitar on "Spurious Love", Angela Baraldi sings on both "Spurious
Love" and "Rome". Without their precious contributions, "Good Luck" would not be
what it is. ôGood Luckö? After all, it is 2012. And after our very own "Il
fuoco" (the fire), after what happend on the global markets, after all "Dividing
Opinions", we wish everyone good luck. We all need it.
