Everything but the big hit
|
This review first appeared in Turbula in April 2007.
The style is all there: Smoothly harmonized vocals, crunchy guitar leads, hypnotic beats that practically beg you to dance. And most of the songs are of the kind that Squeeze, Crowded House and Fountains of Wayne have used to craft such well-earned reputations as hitmakers.
But power pop without the hits is only half the equation.
Not to say Luca won't have that breakthrough hit that puts him in the same hallowed (and lucrative) territory as the above bands, but for now, this is an "almost but not quite" effort.
