Goodbye Neukölln! Psychedelisches Pop vom Feinsten

We all know Pietro, Pietro Fornara.
The wild guitarist, the philosopher, the singer!
Finally, a solo album!
You’re walking through Neukölln, and bang – there he is playing again tonight, just somewhere else: the human jukebox.
Whether in wild jam sessions or at open mics … And he was occasionally spotted as a lecturer at the UdK or BIMM. When he toured half the world with the band Alright Gandhi, sometimes alongside Bukahara … that was a different time, really. Before Corona, that is.
You only need to experience it once. It’s inspired by the 70s, yet there’s something classic about it – and at the same time, something new. No sooner have you started dancing to the irresistible groove of his band than the next image appears before your eyes. The harmonies shift, as do the polyrhythms. Suddenly, the lyrics take a different turn, and somehow it all makes perfect sense. Except: your interpretation is yours, mine is mine.
A dreamlike journey through emotional ambiguities and contrasts: funny yet somehow serious, at times melancholic, yet optimistic. Especially when the songs revolve around a Berlin that is slowly disappearing and changing.
Like “Goodbye Neukölln”, “Gentrification Song”, “Talking About Kit Kat Just to Test”. Or an inner world we’ve only partially explored: “Broke Again”, “O My Only Body”. Pub politics – “Is It Right if I Eat Meat?”. Stories that connect many people; it’s not just about the self. And yet we are all the self – and no one else.
Is this psychedelic pop? It’s certainly progressive. The associations keep blossoming and multiplying; it’s hard to pin down – and yet it’s all there; the sound is one. And you don’t feel you’ve reached the limits of your own hearing, even though the boundaries between genres have long since been dissolved. You want more.
What might come next? WITH WHOM?
Pier Ciaccio on drums and Francesco de Rosa on keyboards: a telepathic duo – endless energy and surprises.
A magnificent female choir: Pina Berlin, Victoria Priester, Alex Spencer, Tess Daniels. Roland Satterwhite on violin – have you seen *Babylon Berlin*? He plays and sings on the soundtrack with the Moka Efti Orchestra.
And a mysterious opening act: the Argentine Augusto Sinesi, a master of labyrinthine, gentle melodies over dreamlike chords, accompanied by Ariel Bart on the chromatic harmonica. It’s lovely just to let yourself drift away.
