The third album from this band from Italy.
The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
This is their brand new album. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2008 and is best ignored. The follow up album Tous Les Heros followed ten years later and was reviewed in this blog last week.
Capside does a mix of laidback jazz, fusion, dream pop, folk rock and RPI on this album.
Valentina Casu vocals is pretty dominant. And they are great vocals. They are clear and not over the top.
The instruments plays a more supporting role on this thirty-five minutes long album. The four musicians here still does a very good job. The guitars are understated, but still elegant and expressive. Ditto for the keyboards which sometimes changes over to a vintage organ sound. Most of the keyboards are indeed vintage.
The music is elegant. There will be a debate among RPI purists if this album is a RPI album at all. I am undecided here as this is a more jazzy album than a rock album.
The important thing is what comes out of the speakers or the headset. And the music is good throughout.
Capside is a good addition to the Italian scene and this is an album well worth checking out.
