Setting Tina<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is the new single by\u00a0KICK<\/strong>, out today\u00a0July 5th, 2021<\/strong>\u00a0via\u00a0Anomic Records<\/strong>\u00a0(Germany),\u00a0Dischi Sotterranei<\/strong>\u00a0(Italy)\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0Sour Grapes<\/strong>\u00a0(United Kingdom). Like the full\u00a0new album<\/strong>\u00a0coming next fall, the song was produced with\u00a0Marco Fasolo<\/strong>\u00a0(Jennifer Gentle, I Hate My Village) and features moreover\u00a0Scott Reeder\u00a0<\/strong>on bass, longtime member of Kyuss and currently of Fireball Ministry.<\/p>\n

Very active also live, both in Italy and abroad,\u00a0KICK<\/strong>\u00a0are\u00a0Chiara Amalia Bernardini<\/strong>\u00a0(vocals, bass) and\u00a0Nicola Mora\u00a0<\/strong>(guitars, electric piano, synths, samplers). Their sound combines rough elements and others more dreamy in a sound that could ideally be defined “sweet noise”, a style on their own melting the noise with the softness of the atmosphere, without any limits of genre. The backgound of the duo from Brescia ranges from the hypnosis of\u00a0trip hop<\/strong>\u00a0to the New York\u00a0no-wave<\/strong>, up to stoner and\u00a0desert rock<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Setting Tina<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0introduces a natural change of direction compared to what was previously released by the Italian band (the debut album\u00a0Mothers<\/em>\u00a0of 2016 and the EP\u00a0Post-Truth<\/em>\u00a0of 2018): the sound become less electronic and at the same time more analogue, minimal and heavy.<\/p>\n

Marked by a compelling psych-r’n’r groove,\u00a0Setting Tina<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0reveals also a\u00a0social theme<\/strong>\u00a0because it’s a peculiar interpretation of the language of populist propaganda, which aims at people’s anger and frustration to manipulate and “set” them as if were machines to be exploited. The name Tina was inspired by the famous Thatcherian slogan “There is no alternative”, with which the former British prime minister declared neo-liberalism as the only possible model of life. Times have changed, but the sense of inevitability unfortunately is still here: we feel victims and mere tools of a sick system that is leading us to collapse.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0videoclip<\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0Setting Tina<\/em>, premiered on Post-Punk<\/a><\/strong> on line and directed by\u00a0Marco Armando Alliegro\u00a0<\/strong>using mainly found footage, reinforces what is suggested by the lyrics of the song, that is the restlessness of belonging to the machine of capitalism and the need for a rapprochement with the simplicity of nature. According to the director: “The clip offers different keys of interpretation, such as the relationship between civilized life and wild life which start from the same basic needs but in very different ways: in the first one there is a cruelty that acts on a sneaky and mocking level, while in the second one it acts in a bloody way but perhaps also in a more respectful way towards the others and the environment<\/em>“.<\/p>\n
