Title:	Under the Cables, Into the Wind
Label:	IMPORTANT RECORDS
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	IMPREC 057CD

"Following the critical and commercial success of Larsen's full length Play, Larsen leader Fabrizio Modonese Polumbo is releasing his first full-length recording. Full of all the moods, methods and arrangement that make Larsen such a fascinating and engaging listen Under The Cables, Into The Wind takes the attentive listener in directions unfamiliar in Larsen audio landscape. Subtle, beautiful and melodic Under The Cables, Into The Wind would sit perfectly in the Larsen catalog if it didn't stand so well on its own."

"'In Pink is the 3rd ( r ) album. I've worked on it for almost 2 years, both 'cause I've been very busy with Larsen and XXL as well as touring and working in the studio with other bands, and 'cause it came through troubled and sometimes painful, but anyway intense times. Whereas the previous Under The Cables, Into The Wind was a very warm and relaxed album, and also my favorite so far, In Pink is a pretty extreme one, swinging between joy and fear, introspective moody songs and explosions of -- desperately optimistic -- energy. Still it is more a diary than an exorcism, filled with songs about death and transfiguration, including my version of an Irish traditional theme (which also Johnny Cash interpreted on one of his American albums) and Joy Division's classic 'Atmosphere' (which I list among the best songs ever written). It is also my most arranged and colorful album where my recent experiences as producer for other bands have converged, and the most 'band' oriented among my solos. While I was composing and recording it I was also playing lots of shows and often other musicians joined me on stage. I really wanted to have them on the album in order to get that sound in the studio too and also for personal and sentimental reasons, them being among my closest friends. Paul Beauchamp (who is also my partner in the Blind Cave Salamander project as well as one of the members of the Steve McKay -- of Stooges -- band), Ango (of Mariae Nascenti), il Bue (of Larsen) and the amazing Baby Dee have contributed to the final result of this album along with Marco Milanesio that even this time has not only recorded and mixed the album, but also co-produced it with me.'" --Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo
