There is an irresistible danceability that never gives way as guitars duel with each other intermittently, which highlights the contrasting vocals somehow bordering on snotty while maintaining an ethereal framework. “1000 Words” is an up tempo and brittle little workout with frantic drum work that drops in and out between vocals that are hypnotizing. “Perfect Paper” starts off with a melodic guitar-riff reminiscent of early Gang of Four before giving way to harmonized vocals and finding a majestic groove with impressively strong drumming from Suzanne Walker.
Primomusic review full#
By Kris Handel ( Is the third release from Primo!, a quartet from Melbourne, Australia who follow a nervy yet very groovable path laid down by impressively flexible musicianship. This is the follow up to highly acclaimed debut full length Amici from 2018 and shows off some new tricks learned in the interim. Where the debut was full of brittle and fairly acerbic post-punk influenced garage punk, Sogni shows a little more flexibility and space for bouncy and constantly shifting rhythms for Xanthe Waite and Violetta Del Conte-Race’s guitars to slice through. There is also a little bit of a brighter experimental approach that plays well with the solid foundations that the band has laid down beforehand.
