this is really helpful for music analysis homework! thanks!

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

Last 19th September we've had the pleasure to be invited to play at The Fighting Cocks in Kingston for a Tim Smith benefit - you all know who Tim Smith is, don't you? - and we thought "what can we possibly do that will amaze everyone?" so me and my co-conspirator Dominique decided to start our set with Fear by the Spratleys Japs, and to close the concert with that 237-chords long beast that is Dirty Boy... All done with just a clean Telecaster, a clarinet, and two voices!
But we thought that the "main course" of the evening had to be this relaxed and slow-paced rendition of one of our favorites Cardiacs songs, Gina Lollobrigida (she's an italian actress, and we love her movies!) ... I can imagine young Tim being inspired by her!
We didn't announce the song live, as it is so different from the original that we wanted to see when the pond identified it... they actually had to wait the start of the vocals to recognize it :)
We promised to record our version as soon as possible, and here it is!

And now it's time to singalong with us... everything is easy! 

Here's me hidden in the underground
And so far I don't mind
That's why a-ha you'll find
I'm never coming here
Buy me all the things I ask for
Nothing's too much for me
Here more often than not
A burst investigating main

Never before did it seem what it used to seem
Its right by night time
So find the right time

One day I'll be getting older
And so what happpens now on the big screen
Or should I leave it all behind

You laugh and I can never hear you
Never before did I know
A bigger chance to be congenial
I once had a go on my own

Oh no see who's getting nearer
All efforts wasted now
That's why I'm right believing
Everything I see
Whats new? "Bulldog Drummonds' peril"?
"The tragedy of a switchboard operator"?
Another "Weekend World"?

Never before did it seem what it used to seem
It's packaged right like Gina Lollabridgida

You laugh and I can never hear you
Never before did I know
A bigger chance to be congenial
Once had a go on my own

You laugh and I can never hear you
Never before did it seem what it used to seem...

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
