- Mystic Haddock by Alessandro Orlandi is out
The original musical formula of Alessandro Orlandi, where the English rock-pop sound of the 60s merges with the story of our days, is growing and becoming increasingly established.
This magical encounter gives life to a collection of songs that with the title of MYSTIC HADDOCK lands, with Art Media Music distribution / Believe Digital.
The album combines with unmistakable and refined style, the past (sound) and the present (lyrics) and transports us, song after song, in an exciting journey full of insights.
The sequence of the album’s 14 songs flows lightly and intensely conveying clear and direct messages about the "crisis of the modern world" and the effects of the deceits and false myths of the 21st century.
The mythological, hermetic and literary references testify to the artist’s cultural depth and enrich with symbolic meanings an unusual and captivating sound that touches the heart from the first listening. The themes addressed, in balance between irony and spirituality, are supported by extremely well-kept arrangements that characterize a pleasant and intriguing mood. The sound atmosphere, of impeccable execution, makes us travel in the enchanting music season of the 60/70.
But the narrative context is the current one. As if a Beatles song, carried by a time machine, told the pandemic and other emergencies (social and spiritual) that we are experiencing today.
The album affirms a curious and effective stylistic union capable of involving fans of all ages. Reflection, awareness of reality but also the desire for change and possible paths to follow to continue to have the desire and right to dream.
MYSTIC HADDOCK is a surprising album, unmistakable for the original choice of the artist to blend past and present with the naturalness and freshness of which only the great authors are capable.
