23 Magical Music Moments (#14)

Bartender- Please make mine a Double!

In this day and age where bands sometimes relegate themselves to the dustbin of irrelevance by taking years between LPs, it was refreshing to to see London 🇬🇧 trio bar italia release not just one, but two, choice LPs in the same year!

The Appertivo

“Tracey Denim” released May 19, 2023
(Matador Records)

Seconds– Another Round Please

“The Twits” released November 3, 2023
(Matador Records)

Two great albums. Impressive for a unit dropping LPs 3 and 4.

For your listening pleasure here is a song from each. From “Tracey” here is ‘punkt’

bar italia – ‘punkt’ from “Tracey Denim”

SPOTIFY-

And now from “Twits” here is ‘world’s greatest emoter’-

bar italia- ‘world’s greatest emoter’ from “The Twits”

So there you have it – “two, two hits in one” to crib from the old Wrigley’s chewing gum ad.

Let me know which you liked best please.

(SONG 714 a and b)

Holy Babe Ruth Batman!

[Ed. Note- If you are as buzzed with bar italia as rex, consider checking out the band Th’ FAITH HEALERS. They were from Hampstead 🇬🇧 and recorded in the early 90’s on the TOO PURE label.]
