Matteo Uggeri, Cricket On The Radio

Limited Edition "Snapshots, pictures, glimpses of life and notes on a crumpled sheet. Framing memories to keep them, mostly remembering those that are less important. Unconscious moments, instants that didn't have attention that unexpectedly resurface in a recurring dream. Some faces transfigure, other images lose definition, leave the frame for a few seconds and lean on a desk covered with notes and drafts. Matteo and Stefano offer a really personal and felt contribution to Torto Editions and Ramble Records catalogue; guitar picking gentleness and inspiring field recordings are a magic and transcendental recipe, a nest for those wandering souls that need some rest and comfort." 

This album is the result of a collaboration between long-time friends Stefano Santabarbara (aka My Dear Killer, from now on Cricket on the Radio) and Matteo Uggeri (member of Starlight Assembly, Open to the Sea and Sparkle in Grey). It’s mostly built on the weird melodies of MDK acoustic guitar and Uggeri’s samples and field recordings, along with noisy textures provided by MDK as well, on electric guitar, and other collaborators, such as Andrea Serrapiglio at the cello and Alessandro Sesana at the trumpet. The result is a deep voyage into a never-gloomy-enough abyss of weird cinematic atmospheres.
