Italy is much more but for Rome, Ferrari, a gruesome Prime Minister. known, but not necessarily for (current) psychedelic rock. An exception is the Dumbo Gets Mad, a project for a young Italian Men who allegedly is really Dumbo and his friend Carly, who has assumed some vocals. After last year already, the odd song circulated on the Internet, there is now the first album, which incidentally is available for 0 €, but to the end of the review more. It is titled with "Elephants At The Door", which is a very appropriate name, because like a pachyderm in the entrance, and the plate is something that we experience every day and not heard. make Dumbo Gets Mad playful psychedelia with a penchant for oblique idea and pop. a clear preference, the two also for Retrosynthezisier old electric organ and lots of weird effects. All of this is also for band equipment and used not just rare, which gives the songs their own unique charm. Tidy do not fit as a description of the band's sound, but well produced, what the music is a bit unexpected. Definitely a good thing, because it sounds both fat synths and bass guitar beautifully. This brings actually on the point, what distinguishes "Elephants At The Door," his sound. It sounds great, sometimes a bit strange, but mostly just good. In addition, Dumbo, a knack for great synth melodies, and if they then place them on a wonderfully grooving foundation as in "Eclectic Prawn" and "Plumy Tale," you'll experience the highlights the plate.
Unfortunately create Dumbo Gets Mad not always make their music so compelling. Often they also sprinkle a quiet passages, but live mostly by the beautiful sound and richness of sounds and otherwise have some slightly irrelevant. So I hope that sometimes they were a little more "straight forward" to act as it so have their best moments. Remains in the end an album between solid and good, but because it is a debut album and we never regretted the music to listen to, I choose the latter. What it takes to lose the 2, but anyway, I can well imagine that I am her next release still a lot more enthusiastic.
