BRADIPOS IV – LOST WAVES

Two years after their last EP entitled “The Partenophonic Sound Of The Bradipos Four”, the surf combo has gone back to the studio, influenced by their Californian tour. More than the ocean the inspiration came from the desert traversed to reach Las Vegas and Joshua Tree. An instrumental album more than a surf one, even if their opening track is a cover originally written by Ray Hunt and played for the first time in 1961 from the Surfmen. Two more covers, ‘A Heartful Of Nothing’ written by Chris Barfield and ‘Siboney’ written by Ernesto Lecuona, among nine new and original songs. Not so close to class surf, rather with a personal touch, that has been a trademark for this Italian band from the beginning. An album dominated by the minor tones and so a little bit melancholic, as the artwork reminds us, and always well-planted feet in their Mediterranean origins.
