<\/a>Tredici Bacci\u2019s kaleidoscopic sophomore album, La Fine Del Futuro<\/i> (NNA Tapes), explodes and deepens leader Simon Hanes\u2019 preoccupations with Italian soundtracks, showtunes, and dramatic orchestral pop. The cover\u2014a painting of a kitchen knife in the back of a colorful pool chair\u2014sets the tone. Tredici Bacci understands what every tropical bartender or crusty beach bum knows: the most refreshing drink uses more astringency than sweetness to cut through the sunlight. In the same way, La Fine Del Futuro<\/i> revels in paint splatters and disjunctions where its genres meet, even as it acknowledges the pleasure and depth in their sleek, glossy surfaces.<\/p>\nThe panoramic Morricone landscapes of Hanes\u2019 writing in Tredici Bacci\u2019s earlier work still haunt La Fine Del Futuro<\/i>. The opening track, \u201cTitoli De Testa,\u201d uses Marilu Donovan\u2019s harp like a stiletto, glinting under the lush strings of the opening and slicing through Hanes\u2019 guitar and Evan Laine Allen\u2019s harpsichord as it stiiches the bouncing brass and wordless vocal with a menacing thread picked up later in the piece by Kenny Wollesen\u2019s vibes. \u201cAmbulette\u201d is an after-image of a car chase, woodwinds chasing Baldwin\u2019s brass, providing a depth of field as he rushes from foreground to back, resisting an easy grasp. The violins of Abigale Reisman and Abby Swidler shoot that line to the stars as the music shatters and reconvenes itself into a mosaic of pulse-pounding arpeggios around the streetlight shadows of Allen\u2019s organ.<\/p>\n
Tredici Bacci\u2019s love for theater music of the 20th century comes to the fore in two tracks. The Bachrach\/David classic \u201cPromises, Promises\u201d gets a playful, sharp read. Buoyed by Sami Stevens\u2019 electrifying vocal, the glittering brass of the arrangement draws out the open heart behind its wink. Hanes\u2019 original \u201cIn the \u201870s\u201d taps the same theatrical vein with ironic lyrics and a staccato meter reminiscent of Sondheim\u2019s music of the period.<\/p>\n
The album also includes collaborations with other writers. Hanes contributes an easy-swinging arrangement of Ryan Powers\u2019 \u201cThe Cavalry,\u201d with Powers on lead vocals. Powers\u2019 and Stevens\u2019 vocals roll together like quicksilver on seductive lines like \u201cI\u2019m going to rattle the bars, stare down the stars,\u201d and \u201cLate at night we\u2019re gonna get in primal shapes,\u201d as the track showcases Heasly\u2019s well-oiled bass and Daniel Pencer\u2019s murmuring clarinet.<\/p>\n
Hanes co-wrote \u201cFelicity Grows\u201d with JG Thirlwell (of Foetus fame), and Thirlwell\u2019s lyrics showcase Stevens\u2019 voice, shading \u201cSaturday with nothing to do. Looking for a cheap tomorrow, take a ride on this avenue to Tompkins Square,\u201d with the promise of joy and the knowledge it\u2019ll probably fall apart. That vocal melody gets tangled with the strings and loping rhythm section to evoke the New York sunlight filtered through canyons of buildings, shoulders, and faces. Thirlwell also contributes a stirring vocal on a ready-for-war cover of the hymn \u201cO Come O Come Emmanuel,\u201d re-titled \u201cEmmanuelle.\u201d<\/p>\n
True to its title, La Fine Del Futuro<\/i> traces what might be the end of the future. But on its way, it reminds us of the beauty in those forms, scavenged and re-purposed, welded together and sanded down. It reminds us everything can be made new.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
