In The Dream Book, as well as in the collective imaginary, the symbol of the horse represents true nobility of soul, intelligence and elegance, but the horse is also notoriously wild and hard to tame. All these features fit perfectly with the songs by\u00a0Teo Russo<\/strong>, the new Italian (super)\u00a0dream psych-pop band<\/strong>\u00a0formed by\u00a0Georgia Costanzo<\/strong>\u00a0(La Camera Migliore),\u00a0Francesco Fanciullacc<\/strong>i (La Camera Migliore, Granprogetto, Farewell to Hearth and Home, Mitici Gorgi) and\u00a0Federica Camiciola<\/strong>\u00a0(Mitici Gorgi), at their self-titled debut album out on vinyl and on all digital platforms today\u00a0September 23th, 2022<\/strong>\u00a0via\u00a0Millessei Dischi<\/strong>, with Audioglobe’s distribution.<\/p>\n

Costanzo and Fanciullacci have met again in 2017, a decade after their common experience in the alt pop-rock band La Camera Migliore, produced by Carmen Consoli, while Fanciullacci and Camiciola shared the stage for a few years in the electro-punk band Mitici Gorgi. All three, together, have decided to give life to Teo Russo. The curious name Teo Russo is borrowed from that of a misunderstood and extravagant Florentine painter, who loved to paint equine figures. The\u00a0cover artwork<\/strong>, created by Lorenzo Coppini | OdioDesign, is not by chance inspired by him.<\/p>\n

The nine songs in\u00a0Teo Russo<\/strong><\/em>‘s tracklist enchant and reveal details listen after listen. Costanzo sang all the tracks with her magnetic voice, Fanciullacci wrote almost all the lyrics – driven by a sudden tragic loss – and played guitars, bass and synths, Camiciola took care of the programming electronic drums, additional synths and pre-mixes. Fantasy and delicacy, electro-acoustic timbres, oblique melodies and lo-fi nuances, the main influence provided by Sparklehorses (another horse as a spirit-guide…): all these elements blend together in a personal recipe. The record was entirely recorded at home and later mixed by Leo Magnolfi at the EL-SOP Recording Studio in Florence.<\/p>\n

The songs by Teo Russo are about\u00a0dreams<\/strong>\u00a0and how to face reality thanks to them, with the aim of permuting visions with emotions.\u00a0Between the words there are recurring images of astronauts, snow and obviously horses,\u00a0as well as a little tribute to Elliott Smith.\u00a0“Close your eyes and imagine living multiple lives at the same time, traveling multiple roads, selecting multiple choices<\/em>“, the band suggests.\u00a0The first single\u00a0Tienilo come un segreto\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is dedicated to an awakening to be interpreted as a rebirth and is supported by a video with the scenography of a show by Davide Venturini, director of the theatrical company TPO. The smooth second single\u00a0Calle<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is about abandonment and the search for how to deal with it: instead of forgetting it, we can transform it into a real “gift”. The new single\u00a0Hai mai visto i fantasmi?\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>reveals a distorted electro-rock progression, with a playful animation video made by Lorenzo Clemente.\u00a0Teo Russo<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is the best secret to discover this autumn.<\/p>\n
