Kamikaze Rock 'n' Roll Suicide

Donatella Rettore

Sharp-edged Italian new wave with a nihilistic streak. High-energy synthesizers meet razor-blade lyrics and a distinct Japanese aesthetic influence.

It's like if a samurai-obsessed punk star took over an Italian disco in 1982.

A frantic, stylish collision of pop euphoria and dark, self-destructive tension.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the frantic and iconic chorus of Lamette where the vocals mimic the sharpness of the lyrics
the synth-heavy atmospheric build-up in Karakiri that sets the album's conceptual tone
the surprisingly brief and haunting closing of Giulietta that leaves the listener wanting more
