Back To Mine with Casa Del Mirto

After hours grooving with the Italian cool collective








The Acid – Ghost
The Acid are a great band, we discovered them recently and instantly fell in love! They’re perfect: voice, beats, pad; everything is in its right place. ‘Ghost’ is one of our favorite songs, it takes care of you and puts you in the right mood after a long night of partying.

Nine Inch Nails – Find My Way
Nine Inch Nails don’t need any presentation. ‘Find My Way’ is a piece of our heart. When you get back home late at night, sit down and while listening to this song, just pour some Bourbon and Water into your glass and wait. Something will happen, sooner or later.

RY X – Sweat
Ry X is the solo project of the singer of ‘The Acid’. We love his voice, and his track ‘Sweat’ managed to eternally capture our souls. Close your eyes and let go of reality.

Four Tet – Ba Teaches Yoga
Four Tet is the master and ‘Ba Teaches Yoga’ is his masterpiece. It takes you wherever you need, whenever you’d like. You’ll never get tired of listening to it.

Former Ghosts – Choices
We met Freddy three years ago, while we were recording our LP “The Nature”. We asked him to do vocal tracks for two of our songs. It was and amazing experience, locked in a mountain cottage for three days. ‘Choices’ has good vibes, melancholic, nocturnal and romantic.

Retic – Secret Poetry
A good song to listen to once its time to choose whether you want to sleep on the couch, or venture to your bed after a night of drinking. ‘Secret poetry’ could give you the last drop of energy you need to reach the bedroom!

Bran Van 3000 – Drinkin’ in L.A.
You always need a little time to unwind after coming home from a party before going to sleep. This piece is a good way to feed your soul and prepare for rest as you decide which memories you’d like to save and which you’d like to throw away from the night in order to avoid the ‘day after shame.’


Chris Isaak – Wicked Game
Use it only when you have something better to do than going to sleep!

Violent Femmes – Good Feeling
Perfect song to save your good feeling. Prepare yourself for the night listening to it and everything’s gonna be all right. Good feeling won’t you stay with me just a little longer?

David Sylvain – Darkest Dreaming
A perfect song to fall asleep to, thinking about the one you love.

 


Casa Del Mirto
 ‘Still’ (Ghost Records)

Italian collective Casa Del Mirto are set to release their upcoming full length ‘Still’ on January 26th via Ghost Records. Active since 2006, once a more dance floor-friendly project started by founding member Marco Ricci, the band, now completed by Luigi Segnana on bass and Raffaele Ricci on synth have evolved significantly since their first 2 albums Supertrendycoolfashion and Numero Uno.
Fast forward to 2014 and pretty much everything has changed but their name and Casa del Mirto are now more synonymous with lush arrangements and carefully crafted, atmospheric soundscapes. Throughout ‘Still’ they blend saturated synths, deep beats and echoed vocals – reminiscent of Toro Y Moi, Neon Indian or on ‘Invisible’, Aluna George. but with their own distinctive, trademark sound. The blend of influences are also evident throughout the record, with elements of 90’s house, new wave, hip-hop, RnB and indie hidden beneath their airy, whimsical musings, floating around in a sea of clouds. Casa Del Mirto means House of Myrtle and it is a truly appropriate name. The name Myrtle derives from the Victorian era of England. It has this enchanting, beautiful simplicity to it, and the band play on that in their music.
