LOTO<\/i><\/strong> is the solo debut album by musician and visual artist Theo Taddei<\/strong>, previously a member of the Italian indie bands TooMuchBlond, Le Furie and Aquarama. The album will be released on April 10, 2020<\/strong> by Fresh Yo! Label<\/strong>, on vinyl and all digital platforms.<\/p>\n

“On the cover image there is one of my drawings: a mountainous landscape made only of cypresses and respective shadows, which transmit the definition of the hills through the perception of depth. That’s what I also tried to do on the record: to put every detail in a wider context<\/i>“, Taddei explains.<\/p>\n

LOTO<\/i><\/strong> has been played and recorded over the last few years by Taddei. He started on the drums<\/strong> \u2013 his instrument of choice \u2013 and then added more elements (guitars, bass, piano, keyboards<\/strong>), all essential in the songwriting phase, up to the voice, deliberately kept low in the mix, as if it were whispered to himself with the hope of being universal.<\/p>\n

Everything, starting from the drawing on the cover, speaks about the attachment to the places in Tuscany<\/strong> where Taddei grew up and the nostalgia<\/strong> triggered by their memory: “I was born in the countryside, just outside Florence. Here I soon learned to play drums, to be alone, to cultivate silence and sense of discovery guaranteed by the surrounding nature. I developed a certain sacredness for these places<\/i>“.<\/p>\n

Taddei’s music is concrete and at the same time dreamlike. It evokes indie pop, psychedelia and alt-folk<\/strong>. But above all it contains images<\/strong>, as if the seven songs on the tracklist were short films.<\/p>\n

The release of LOTO<\/i><\/strong> is anticipated by the singles\u00a0XI<\/i>X<\/i><\/strong>\u00a0and<\/i> Fantasia.<\/i><\/strong> The only external contributions are those of Francesco Cangi<\/strong>, playing the trombone in the exotic Nascondino<\/i>, and Samuele Cangi<\/strong>, responsible for mixing the entire work.<\/p>\n

The release of LOTO<\/i><\/strong> will be accompanied by an exhibition<\/strong> that will take place soon at the Bellini Museum in Florence<\/strong>, curated by Caterina Toschi. It will be a multidisciplinary path marked by the display of drawings, video and music productions.<\/p>\n

LOTO <\/i><\/strong>is the door to enter Theo Taddei’s personal microcosm.<\/p>\n
