The Twits was recorded by the trio over eight weeks from February 2023 in a makeshift home studio in Mallorca, and was mixed by Marta Salogni. It finds Bar Italias economical yet evocative songcraft taking raucous, mystic, unkempt, occasionally sinister, and wholly committed turns.
Songs like my little tony, with its in-the-red riff and excitable hooks, the cathartic four-on-the-floor of worlds greatest emoter and the festival tent psychedelia of Hi-fiver need little in the way of exposition these are exhilarating rock songs, if wayward and strange.
Other moments see the bands increasingly signature, three-act mini-dramas moving into previously uncharted territory. Cristante, Fehmi and Fenton can each manifest a different melody, mood, and cadence at times overlapping and linear, at others unexpectedly divergent often within the space of thirty seconds, a tag team rooted in shared language and kinship.
Available on standard black, indie exclusive silver vinyl & CD.
