The best singles of the week

Peter Murphy & Boy George – “Let The Flowers Go”

A new take on the concept of the “odd couple” in music. Joining forces (and voices) for a duet are Peter Murphy of Bauhaus and Culture Club frontman Boy George, on a new track titled “Let The Flowers Grow”. “The song”, Murphy explained in a statement, “was born while I was in Spain working on a new album. I heard some music on producer Youth's phone and I was struck by its melodic beauty and that Roy Orbison-esque voice singing it”, he recounted. Upon discovering it was a demo by Boy George, the Bauhaus frontman went on to create the version that would become “Let The Flowers Grow”. Listen to it below.

Pinguini Tattici Nucleari – “Romantico ma muori”

Pinguini Tattici Nucleari have announced the release of their new album, “Hello World”, due out December 6th on Epic/Sony Music Italy. This new project arrives more than two years after their previous record, “Fake News”, an album that cemented their status with a successful arena and stadium tour. The band recently released the single “Romantico ma muori”, which topped the charts and earned Gold Disc certification. Watch the video for the first single, “Romantico ma muori”, here.

Doves – “Renegade”

Doves are back with new music after roughly four years. “Constellations For The Lonely” is the sixth studio album from the trio of Jimi Goodwin, Andy and Jez Williams, and will be released on Friday, February 14th, 2025 on Emi North.

The new album, arriving five years after its predecessor “The Universal Want” - which had itself been the first new work after a long 11-year wait - was partly written back in 2020, the year that predecessor came out.

The band's drummer Andy Williams states: Looking at everyone's lives over the past few years, and considering current events, “Renegade” feels a lot heavier in retrospect. We wanted to create a dystopian atmosphere, thinking about Manchester itself sometime in the next century or so. A totally imaginary thing... “Blade Runner” set in our hometown. Listen to it below.

Polo Territoriale – “Serena”

In an exclusive preview for OndaRock, the video for “Serena”, the new single from Brescia-based band Polo Territoriale. A pop-rock ballad exploring the illusion of feelings in young relationships, highlighting the protagonist's idealization of his partner as he comes to realize that reality doesn't match his fantasies. The video, shot in Pontoglio (Bs) by videomaker Luca Rapuzzi, captures the band going through situations that reflect the theme of disillusionment. Talea tries to kiss a girl, only to see her turn into a mannequin; Pablo cancels a trip because he can't find a ride; Bech decides to shave his head after a failure; and Manza ends up alone in the garage after his friends stand him up. These experiences highlight the disappointment of unmet expectations. Polo Territoriale is made up of Filippo Farolfi (Talea) - vocals and guitar, Pablo Lorenzo Almansi (Pablo) - bass, Luca Manzella (Manza) - lead guitar, and Lorenzo Apollonio (Lore) - drums. Formed in 2019 in Brescia out of a chance meeting between aspiring musicians, the band quickly found its chemistry and developed its own style. Their music blends indie punk influences. The lyrics, in Italian, tell stories of characters and suburban situations, often focusing on social dynamics. In May 2024, Polo Territoriale released their first official single, “Pamela”, kicking off a short promotional tour. From Friday 8 November, “Dimmi”, Polo Territoriale's debut album, will be available on digital streaming platforms and in physical format, produced with support from MiC and Siae as part of the “Per chi crea” program. It's a record that traces the early years of the Brescia band's activity, exploring the musical influences that have shaped their journey, from energetic, carefree pop punk to a rawer, more introspective alternative rock. The band's words about the album: “It's hard to describe 5 years together, we started in high school when we were 14/15 years old... The album is a summary of our early period, every song is a different memory, a different story. We like to think there's a bit of everything in there, it's the genuine embodiment of our first steps of artistic growth. Some of these songs are 5 years old, others maybe 1, we worked hard on it and as a debut we hope we managed to present ourselves clearly. We're not looking for big truths, we'd just like to be four somewhat easygoing, globetrotting storytellers who, as genuinely as possible, recall little glimpses of life actually lived and seek a dialogue - with others, with ourselves? It doesn't matter much, what matters more is what people feel when they listen to our music.”
