about

Rock-oriented distortions and sharp sounds on bare drums: Swedish Mobilia’s style makes itself clear from the first bars. A three-piece band as when starting in 2011, the Italian act has now teamed up with Auand Records for the first time.

In their approach to improvisation, Andrea Bolzoni (guitar), Dario Miranda (bass) and Daniele Frati (drums and percussions) play with a mocking sense of humor on the angular Kiss Miss, the sound often hanging in the balance (as in the opening track Two Nights In Tunisia), ideally staring at the abyss that is just one step away, and filling that short distance with fleeting yet firm reverbs – a constant movement that’s become the band’s own equilibrium.

Such a work could only start on the move: «We were getting back to Milan after playing at a festival in Toulouse – Swedish Mobilia say – It was three days of amazing music and people. After a 10-hour road trip we decided to meet and record anyway: a powerful energy surrounded us, and we didn’t want to miss out that chance of capturing it. The result of those sessions is now in this album: images, glimpses, talks, marvels and secrets, transfers and new experiences. Music is always a proof of what you are, of what you have lived, and somehow of your wills and dreams».

Here lays the strength of their interplay: hints to psychedelia peek out from the dark lines traced by electric guitar and bass, relying on drums and percussion. As Don’t You Mind clearly shows, it’s something way beyond ordinary rhythmic support, thus contributing to add layers of sharper lights and shades.
