MARQUEZ - L’incredibile storia del malinteso tra il Dottor Poto e la banda dell’acqua minerale

Dario Giovannini and Michele Bertoni of Aidoru; Andrea and Antonio Comandini

of Emmevubì: Marquez. A project born almost by chance, which in a short

time led to the creation of the Bluscuro label and of the

"AidoruAssociazione", the latter set up to promote events and

more besides. A project presented with an album bearing a Wertmüller-esque title, which

recalls a kind of concept piece about contact with the record industry, the

dawning of awareness, and total detachment from it.

All this, while the

music delivers yet another reinterpretation of the Italian song tradition, running

in tandem melodic accents with an “autumnal” flavor alongside lucid reflections

on the poetic nuances of lyrics that are never trite. The blues – understood above all

as an emotional tonality – meets the singer-songwriter tradition with its dominant

melancholy. Noir undertones amplify its descriptive power, yielding

anguished ballads, like the opening “Buongiorno A Voi”, “Una Preghiera” (which

recalls certain subdued tones of Afterhours, resurfacing

also in “La Verità E Lo Specchio”), or, again, “La Traccia Del Tuo Sangue Sulla"

Neve”.

Marquez work with a sense of pathos that's never an end in itself, always

chiseled with genuine poetic dedication (“Pathétique”), never skimping on that sense

of mystery enveloping certain confessions so intimate and painfully

close to the heart that they verge on the unspoken (“Kissing -L-”). It is, ultimately,

a poetics of detail, carried out with quiet originality and without

moments truly capable of making the heart skip a beat, but certainly with

an inspiration that never skimps on watercolors of delicate purity (“Blues Per

Teresa”), scenery epically suspended in mid-air (“Zirurdéla”) and anguished

revelations charged with impetuous ardor (“Credi Che Oggi Pioverà”). Details that

carry their weight even in the slightly livelier tracks, as in the

waltz flourishes that peek through in “Canzone Per Un Amico (E Per Me)” or

in the restrained distortion of the solemn march of “Il Dottor Poto” (with a

feverish electric coda).

However, and despite the more

conventional indie-rock blend of “La Banda Dell’Acqua Minerale” and

“Emme”, this debut charts the path for what looks like a

fine promise.
