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.
