Beat Degeneration - Searching For Some Heaven (CD)

Release Date: 04/20/18

Second album with a varied mix of indie rock & indiepop from Italy / RIYL: Crocodiles, Surfer Blood

Hailing from Italy, this is the second full-length from Beat Degeneration, following their debut cassette on Weiner Records. The trio plays a mix of indie rock, indiepop and powerpop, channeling bands like Surfer Blood, the Drums and Crocodiles (whose Charles Rowell produced this very album). Their songs have a wide range of moods with some songs, like 'Jamie Is Gone' and 'I Love You Sweetly', having big and catchy (dare I say, radio-friendly?) choruses, and others, like the ambient surf-instrumental, 'Pappelallee', and the record's piano-centered closer, 'Painted On The Wall', showing off a gentler side. Yes, there's a bit of something for everyone on this cool and varied album.
