Two tunes released as singles that will be included on our upcoming album. The first, a gnarly, concise pop tune about justice being brought to an axe-wielding maniac. The second, the aural translation of the realisation of the loss of a friend.

Notorious Corner

A song from the new all-instrumental album SOLAR BARBECUE. This is a kind of remix of the original coda of Fall Awesome, opener of the 2018 double album REAL ESTATE / FAKE INVERNO (the one with Bob Leith of Cardiacs on drums!). We removed electric guitars, bass and drums from the original recording (they come in only at the very end) and we added cellos and pianos, to make it more cinematic. Enjoy!

Basta

MY LOYALTY DEMANDED to do something to tribute my biggest musical heroes, also known as CARDIACS. I always felt that my one-day trip to see them live in London in 2007 was'nt really enough to thank them. I always dreamed about doing a cover of this wonderful and majestic and epic and flabbergastingly painstakingly so chock-full of chords tune that I finally made it. Hope you like it, really hope you like this little homage to our great Tim Smith and his boys... HUGE thanks goes also to Nuisance for helping me through the higher and harder vocals, Lucio for arranging and harmonizing so well with soprano sax all the guitar leads as well as the coda and of course Mr. Grammatico for producing everything... Very big thanks go also to The Mop for finding out all the chords... thank you, Kavus said they were all right :) Here are the lyrics, for all those who want to be encouraged to sing along... :)

We cut all his eyes we did
Squeezed the lids and down the grog into hole
He skip with cow eyed smile to the blissful
Into craggy dress and WE WILL WE PRAISE HIM
WE WILL PRAISE HIM off his pins
Clear him of all sins
Oh my! We sang with strength to carry on
Encouraged him to sing along
We sang of all the world and praised him HOORAY!

Stay alive to live or without
And he is down all over and out

Watch us hang on shoulders as tall as gold as
Feely hand and finger around all we
And look to see if we care if he is heaven sent or
Hell bent but WE WILL PRAISE HIM
WE WILL PRAISE HIM ALL AWAY
Praise him all away
My arms chancing and you will no way
Live long enough to repay me
I praise you anyway always

Wipes last with brown and pale
Dirty Boy he gone all stale
And down the stair and hallway crawling
And pig and toast and kitchen brawling
Night-time days are all weekless
Alarm charm, he's all up and dressed
He dirty boy, he bathroom dances
And check his jam and breathe on glasses

Spiny grip brings all off 'Mr.Regal jelly' in hand
Warm feel and suck regal man suck bland
Suck bland away and he a sleepy cow-eyed dog
He treading soft sand
Kiss and stroke and praise him
STROKE AND PRAISE HIM
All is worth a kiss
Not how to cleanse
And fowl preserver of sick somehow don't worry now
Hold his mouth and stop him breathing
Over and out .........

(repeat ad libitum!)

Personal Shopper - Buyer's Remorse

I thought this suited having a slight trip hop style to it and I wanted to bring out the bass even more. Hope you like it!

Cardiacs intro ditty with a symphony - Music by Dr Tim Smith

Cardiacs BBC Symphony Orchestra

Meet Sterbus - a warm, enthusiastic soul who just might have been born in the wrong place; and who writes songs which sound as if they definitely belong in a different place. Although they're Italians and makes their home in Rome, their true musical spirit wanders much further westwards – to the rainy Portland of Elliott Smith; the pink-noise/scruff-tinted Glasgow of Teenage Fanclub; the joyful power-pop of Guided by Voices and The New Pornographers, Frank Zappa and Mike Keneally; perhaps the psychedelic Philly of Todd Rundgren; and most certainly the various London and English West Country ground-soils which nurtured (or spat out) King Crimson, XTC and Cardiacs.

"… In the end, two guys from Rome, Dominique D’Avanzo and Emanuele Sterbini,  under the Sterbus moniker, released one of the best pop records of the year; “Let Your Garden Sleep In” has one of the best setlists of 2021, if what you’re looking for are the melodies of Pastels and the gentle verve of Belle and Sebastian, but also those power-chords on steroids that for thirty years have strengthened the pop rhymes of Guided By Voices or the quick-setting melodies of They Might Be Giants." - Mason & Dixon
