About "SONGS ABOUT NIGHTMARES"

Andrea Rottin, co-founder of the Madcap Collective, leaves

behind the designation Oswald, the name he used in his past

activity as a trio and later as a soloist, and presents his

second album as Andrea Rottin - almost as saying "this is

me".

We won't talk about maturity referring to such a young

musician, but the variety and personality that characterize

his writing, show abilities and a great sensitivity in the

interpretation.


What might strike at the first impression is that the album

Songs About Nightmares does not hide juvenile passions, but

modifies and synthesizes them in a way that was hard to

expect.

As if Syd Barrett played the Unplugged in New York with

Nirvana (listen to locked) rarely disconnecting the plug and

pushing on the distortion pedal. But there is more. The

flexibility of Andrea Rottin's voice allows him to space

between registers and styles, switching from the cobainian

gasp to a falsetto voice or to some grunts and howlings.

These vocal aspects make a sort of different chapter out of

each song.

Andrea Rottin is also accompanied by Madcap Collective

friends, on violins, double basses and synthesizers, and

showing his interest both for songwriting and experimenting,

he used the possibilities given by the recording studio

co-operataing with the musician Simone Peraz and finally

assigning the task of mixing it all to Davide Cristiani at

his Bombanella Studio (Gentle Voices, Sousedovic Pes).


Songs About Nightmares is not obvious and it shines by the

intensity of the writing, though remaining enjoyable. The

album is half an hour long, giving you just enough time for

memorizing some themes and sing them along while listening

to it again.
