Brand new full length, 2nd for Important, from Larsen member Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo's brilliant ( r ) project.
From Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo:
ôIn Pink is the 3rd ( r ) album. IÆve worked on it for almost 2 years, both æcause IÆve been very busy with Larsen and XXL as well as touring and working in the studio with other bands, and æcause it came through troubled and sometimes painful, but anyway intense times.
Whereas the previous Under The Cables, Into The Wind was a very warm and relaxed album, and also my favourite so far, In Pink is a pretty extreme one, swinging between joy and fear, introspective moody songs and explosions of - desperately optimistic - energy.
Still it is more a diary than an exorcism, filled with songs about death and transfiguration, including my version of an Irish traditional theme (which also Johnny Cash interpreted on one of his American albums) and Joy DivisionÆs classic Atmposphere (which I list among the best songs ever written). It is also my most arranged and colourful album where my recent experiences as producer for other bands have converged, and the most ôbandö oriented among my solos.
While I was composing and recording it I was also playing lots of shows and often other musicians joined me on stage. I really wanted to have them on the album in order to get that sound in the studio too and also for personal and sentimental reasons, them being among my closest friends.
Paul Beauchamp (who is also my partner in the Blind Cave Salamander project as well as one of the members of the Steve McKay - of Stooges- band), Ango (of Mariae Nascenti), il Bue (of Larsen) and the amazing Baby Dee have contributed to the final result of this album along with Marco Milanesio that even this time has not only recorded and mixed the album, but also co-produced it with me.
The cd also sports some amazing pictures by photographer Giulia Caira that portray to perfection the moods of the music.
Pink was also the colour of Vivienne WestwoodÆs Sex Pistols t-shirts, so In Pink is a punk album and, despite everything - luckily!- it ends up with very positive notes, out of darkness and into the landscapes and the waters of the Blue Lagoon ô
