Calibro 35 - Post Momentum '2021

Tracks list

Italian cinematic funk heroes CALIBRO 35 return with the new EP “POST
MOMENTUM”.

Record Kicks is proud to present “POST MOMENTUM”, the new EP by
Italian cult combo Calibro 35 to be released on June 11th on digital platforms
and on July 9th on limited edition 12” vinyl. The extended-play comes 17
months after the acclaimed previous Calibro 35 album “MOMENTUM”,
which – as the band stated: “represented a look at nowadays and a
reflection about making music right in the time that we’re living”.
The tour began right after the album release in January 2020, but it was soon
interrupted when the whole world suddenly stopped because of the Pandemic. Now
“POST MOMENTUM” represents a re-start and the first step towards the
future, picking up where they left off.

Among the six tracks of the EP, while “Digi-Tails” and “Stars
and Stripes, Chirps and Bleeps” express the unique musicianship of Calibro
35 as we have come to know over the years, “Being a Robot is Awesome and
Artificial Black Moon see the participation of a guest from the world to come:
Sophia, the humanoid developed by Hanson Robotics capable of interacting
autonomously with everything around it, reminding us how being a Robot could
prove to be the best strategy to survive sometimes. The opening of the EP is an
alternate version of the single Stan Lee enriched by two heavyweights of Italian
rap: Ensi and Ghemon, who don’t make us miss Illa J. The EP ends with
another alternate version of “Stan Lee”, this time in all its
instrumental glory.

Active since 2008, Calibro 35 enjoy a worldwide reputation as one of the coolest
independent bands around. During their thirteen-year career, they were sampled
by Dr. Dre on his Compton album, Jay-Z, The Child of lov & Damon Albarn; they
shared stages worldwide with the likes of Roy Ayers, Muse, Sun Ra Arkestra,
Sharon Jones, Thundercat and Headhunters and as unique musicians they
collaborated with, amongst others, PJ Harvey, Mike Patton, John Parish and
Stewart Copeland and Nic Cester (The Jet). Described by Rolling Stone magazine
as the most fascinating, retro-maniac and genuine thing that happened to Italy
in the last years, Calibro 35 now count on a number of aficionados worldwide
including VIP fans such as Dj Food (Ninja Tune), Mr Scruff and Huey Morgan (Fun
Lovin Criminals) among others.

The band started back in 2007 when Grammy award winner producer Tommaso Colliva
(Muse), invited some of the best musicians from the Italian indie scene - Enrico
Gabrielli (PJ Harvey, Mike Patton, John Parish), Massimo Martellotta (Stewart
Copeland, Adrian Younge), Luca Cavina (Retox, Zeus!), Fabio Rondanini (John
Parish, Daniel Johnston) - to record some Italian golden age soundtracks. What
started as a studio b-side project evolved in a full time band able to release 7
heavily acclaimed albums. Their last album “MOMENTUM” came out on
Record Kicks on January 24th 2020. “MOMENTUM” stood out as a new
starting point for the project.
