TACITA INTESA

Our mainstream bands/singers are 95% of the times people who work with the sole purpose of making their music the most catchy and easy-to-listen they can, in order to address a larger audience, and of course, make a lot of money.

Nowadays, we don't have many bands who really understand and transmit the boundless culture of music.

Thankfully, there are bands like Tacita Intesa in this world. I can roughly translate their name to "Silent Understanding" (such a perfect name for a Prog band).

These guys regularly rehearse in the back of a truck, in a run-down industrial area in the middle of nowhere, Tuscany. I've seen pictures of the place, and it's most likely the coolest DIY studio that ever existed. The fact that they all are about the same age (20-ish) is also crazy, they are so young yet they have already come this far in their knowledge of music. If they're able to make Prog at this level now, I can easily imagine them in 10 - 15 years being one of the best bands Italy has ever had. I know this can sound exaggerated, but I've had the chance to talk to them after one of their live performances (stunning) , and I've seen so much dedication in them, so much love for music.

Let's talk about their debut album a bit.

I have a physical copy of it, and it comes with the little lyrics booklet, which is really interesting to read if you understand Italian. As a matter of fact in some of their songs (like my favorite one, "Valzer della morte") they are trying to tell the listener a story ; that's why I'm saying that having the booklet can change your perception of the music they make.

The songs are very-well structured and diverse, that's why I really liked all of them, there is never a repetitive or dull moment. The album has the right balance between smooth, silky, interludes and schizophrenic, cacophonous refrains. There is everything, from the "traditional" Prog transitions to the most daring experimental sections.

It is a journey through the minds and thoughts of these brilliant, young men. I try to see this not as an album, but as an experience. You should, too.

I am looking forward to listening to their second record, which I heard is being currently produced.

Thank you if you read this review 'til the end, I hope you'll be able to enjoy Tacita Intesa's music as much as I did.
