Milano

"The smooth Americana of Milano is a far cry from the soulful melodies of Daniele Luppi's last collaborative project Rome, and presents the ideal melting pot for the influence of both the brash musicianship of Parquet Courts and fellow collaborator Karen O's forceful vocals".

"While working on a batch of songs about the alternative lifestyle scene of Milan in the 1980s, where and when he came of age, Italian composer and arranger Daniele Luppi decided he needed a working band to play his compositions and help write the words. He landed on Parquet Courts, thinking that they embodied the seedy glamour and arty angles of the era. It proved to be an inspired choice, as the band does a fine job bringing the writer's songs and vision to life on Milano ... The combination of talents involved works in all of their favor, and the result is a short, snappy modern art-punk album that is a worthy addition to each act's already strong catalog".
