Italoconnection - Midnight Confessions Vol. 2 (LP)
2021. Italoconnection, the partnership of Fred Ventura and Paolo Gozetti, released Midnight Confessions Vol 1. Three years on, the awaited second volume has arrived. All of the analogue emotion that characterised the first collection is present from the outset, warm throbs of bass coupled with clean melodies in âThe Waitâ. Smoky lyrics permeate the nine track album, the unmistakable timbre of Venturaâs voice recanting tales of optimistic encounters and lost love. As with the 2021 release, collaborations with fellow italo romantics are peppered throughout. Francesca Gastaldi returns to work with Italoconnection once again. Having featured on their Humanize EP, Gastaldiâs vibrant voice shines through the smouldering synthlines and robust beats of âLive Foreverâ. Jaia Sowden takes centre stage for âJust Like Waterâ. A story of discontent and disconnect is sang over bittersweet keys as eastern undercurrents flow. Contemporary commentary is intertwined with undulating melodies and distant lyrics in âCold War Loversâ, a cold wave edge cutting through the sounds and words of âSystematicâ. The dancefloor surfaces throughout the record. Bodies are pulled tight by the bold and bright bars of âWhyâ before drifting apart in the lovelorn lamentations of âLover 2 Loverâ. âEuropaâ pays homage to the machine music of the continent as a litany of influences are drawn upon . The title piece closes. A fragile drum pattern is bolstered by cascading chords, piano notes sailing alongside words by Gastaldi and Ventura. Welcome confessions from musicians who live and breath the synthesizer traditions of Italy.
