Our latest record represents a real evolution for us, both musically and lyrically. The ironic tone that has always been part of our identity hasn’t completely disappeared, but in these songs it emerges less clearly—probably because the times we’re living in are too dark, even for us. That doesn’t mean we’ve lost our sense of fun, though. In our live shows that dimension remains essential: we still believe that playing together, dancing, and sharing the same space is a necessary way to exorcise the anxieties of this difficult present and an increasingly uncertain future.
We called the album Heart Pieces because, for the first time, alongside songs with a strong social and political edge, we felt the need to expose ourselves more on an intimate and personal level. Tracks like Amore Narcotico and Deep Night (Lullaby) speak about fragility, emotional dependency, and the need for protection and pause, without filters or masks. This is probably the album’s biggest novelty: holding together anger and tenderness, disillusionment and the need for comfort, without fear of showing vulnerability.
The journey was enriched by collaborations that mean a lot to us. With Animaux Formidables, featured on Bangs in Your Head, we share an affinity rooted in fuzz, instinct, and imagery—but also a strong connection through female drumming. The song tells the story of a sort of “voodoo witch” who, through her hypnotic rhythm, captures the listener and forces them to dance.
With Meganoidi, on the other hand, the collaboration grew naturally over the past few years thanks to shared shows and a friendship born on stage, which organically led to Amore Narcotico and other collaborations.
Musically, Heart Pieces moves across different territories: modern psychedelia, classic punk rock, garage, and Italian punk—inevitably emerging in the track with Meganoidi. What holds everything together is what we now recognize as our stylistic signature, built over the years, record after record. Heart Pieces is exactly this: different fragments, sometimes rough, sometimes vulnerable, which together tell where we are right now.
