MORGANA - "CONTEMPORANEITA" LP

LULUS:

Contemporary Italian group MORGANA are swimming strong in a sea of coldwave/postpunk/peacepunk and their album ‘CONTEMPORANEITA’ lands flush if that’s a mood you find yourself drawn towards. They do a jam up job at conveying the melancholic feelings that come with trying to live well in a world that pushes real hard against that - turning exasperation into an exclamation of the finer threads that join us together. The highly melodic guitar sings all the melodies while Bri’s vocals (sung in Italian, French and Spanish) are matter of fact declarations. As proof of their gift in this realm I will tell to you truly that I surmised this message while listening to the album without having read their lyrics. Upon reading the English translation it seems that I was dead on and this is exactly what the band is all about. If music is a language, sounds that communicate feelings and ideas, then MORGANA are fluent and worth lending your ear. Especially in a time where most of us could use solidarity beneath the weight of the world.

LOW AMBITION: Morgana is a four piece post punk/cold wave band born prior to the pandemic. Originating from the vibrant DIY counter culture that is the city of Firenze, Italy
Morgana’s vocals are in both French and Italian- punctuating the melodic guitars with articulated, thought provoking lyrics which encapsulate the post punk spirit; alongside a healthy distaste for the world as it stands.

The “Contemporaneità” album is a mix of re-recorded demo tracks, two singles and a brand new track "Arianne". Hate fascism - love punx
