Rich in melody and instantly classic in feel, Luca Dell'Orso debuts on CWPT with an extended EP of lush Italo, sensitively summoned from the Netherlands. Having impressed with previous releases on labels including Bordello A Paligiaria and Red Laser Records, these six tracks demonstrate a delicate approach to his studio, flitting between pop songwriting and analog experimentation.From the soft fanfare that announces 'Solitair & Solidair,' 'Actors' establishes a confident groove that gently pushes an Alfa Romeo pedal toward Balearic ecstasy. On the instantaneous lead single 'Dear Rosie,' dell'Orso blends the signature palette of the vintage Yamaha-X7 synthesizer with longing vocals from collaborator Jolisa. A paean to a special person from a distant past, 'Dear Rosie' is blessed with a wistful melody befitting an Eric Rohmer classic, a musical postcard of a treasured connection. From wistful midsummer memories, dell'Orso easily transports listeners to another season entirely with 'Winter Scent', a deep meditation reflecting the artist's walks in the few hours of available sunlight, thoughts beautifully vocoded beneath a heavy sonic layer.Out of this lavish gloom blossoms the inevitable sound of spring on the driving, optimistic 'Love by Association'; an enduring recipe of distinct drums and pitch-shifting synthesis, frozen in time for frenetic Eurodisco dancefloors. On 'Propaganda', dell'Orso offers a more forceful take on the same instincts, skipping inner-Schengen borders to simmer via industrially-tinted pleasures as revealed in Dusseldorf, 1984. For a sublime finale, 'This Time (Things Will Be Different)' takes to the piano, where Luca Dell'Orso finds space to demonstrate the elegant minimalism that easily coexists alongside his timeless energy.Tracklisting:A1.
