Rex. If in the acclaimed previous record, Blisstonia, to predominate was the all-around exploration and reworking of the psychedelia of the old times, playfully remastered and twisted in the footsteps of Flaming Lips and Ariel Pink, here Weird Bloom leaves out the post-hippie aesthetic to embrace – also on the strength of the valuable and consolidated advice of Don Bolles, former The Germs – an idea of hard and raw rock,\u003cbr\u003emore material, fuzzy, without frills and thoughts. Leopard jackets and washed-out jeans take the place of lysergic freak tunics in a 10-track journey into the most visceral glam, made of timeless riffs and iconic titles like I'm a Razorblade, Saturday Night Is Breaking and Dum Dum\u003cbr\u003eBoogie.\u003cbr\u003eBehind the scenes of the album is an almost philological desire to exactly recreate that mood: «We used to make the first takes, I'd send them to Don Bolles and to some maniacal vinyl-finding friends to get feedback on the veracity of the sound. Because the sound didn't\u003cbr\u003econvince me, it was always too contemporary. It took a long time to find that balance point, and when you find it, you have to hold\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eon to it very tightly. Rock'n'roll is rather a state of mind to maintain, a different level of consciousness».\u003cbr\u003eSo forget the arty, intellectual and decadent side of Bowie and Roxy Music, Stargate's style is massively animated by Marc Bolan's boogie, Gary Glitter's kitschy poses, the glittering hard rock of the Sweet and the proto-garage of the Troggs, in a triumph of references pervaded with pure love for an era that no longer exists, but whose immortal and carefree attitude we can still, fortunately, enjoy in a little rock gem like this.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003ereleased April 20, 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at Pom Pom Studio.\u003cbr\u003eMixed by Edoardo Elia.\u003cbr\u003eProduced by Edoardo and Luca Di Cataldo.\u003cbr\u003eMastered by Filippo Passamonti at VDSS RECORDING STUDIO.\u003cbr\u003eCover photo by Valentina De Santis.\u003cbr\u003eArtwork by Beatrice Cattedra.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dash The Henge Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57104793895287,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/4875\/3922\/files\/a0774835174_10.jpg?v=1779202569","url":"https:\/\/dashthehengestore.com\/en-us\/products\/weird-bloom-stargate","provider":"Dash The Henge Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
