A great Italian point of view, new songs and Culver City Highschool videos

Ups and Downs was reviewed by Under The Tangerine, a very nice blogspot from Italy, even though I understand half of what they say about it...here's what they think :

Baby Scream - Ups and Downs (2008; F.W.A.C.). Baby Scream è sostanzialmente un one-man-thing gestito da Juan Mazzola, argentino purosangue trapiantato a Londra. Il suo disco d'esordio è il classico esempio di album che avrebbe meritato un posto nella mia classifica di fine 2008, ma purtroppo l'ho scoperto troppo tardi. Mi perdoni, Juan, perchè il suo disco è un eccellente esempio di pop acustico immerso capo e piedi nel tepore dei tardi anni sessanta. Tra le proprie influenze il signor Mazzola cita Marc Bolan, Teenage Fanclub e Radiohead. Io i Teenage Fanclub (i primissimi Teenage Fanclub) effettivamente li sento durante Walls Crumbling Down. Bolan così così. I Radiohead, per fortuna no. Meno Male. Sento invece una psichedelia soft ammodernata alla maniera dell'ultimo Rick Gallego nella piccola perla Suddenly, mentre nell'acustica One More Chance lo stile ed il timbro di voce mi riportano al Robert Harrison periodo The Big Picture o alle cose più "laid-back" dei Deleted Waveform Gatherings. La title-track è un esercizio acustico classico fatto molto bene e molto poco retorico, ma Juan Mazzola sa il fatto suo anche nelle rare volte in cui alza il volume delle chitarre, così Everyday (I Die A Little Bit) è una gradevolissima canzone che mi farebbe pensare agli Strokes, se Julian Casablancas fosse un powerpop songwriter. Per favore, garantite a Juan un ascolto. Nessuno se ne pentirà.
