LATO
|
LATO brings together different influences blending them into an original form of indie-rock. Fresh
catchy tunes alternate naturally with intense psychedelic ballads like the title-track. Synths and trumpets
go hand in hand with vocal melody and fuzz guitars.
LATO is a collective of musicians coming from the Italian underground scene. Filippo Pavesi, Roberto
Fappani, Stefano Pavesi and Tommaso Tofanetti played in “Scanferlato” while the live version of the
band features Alessandro Pastorelli from “La Camera dell’Amore Sonico” on drums.
“Out of the Dark” is LATO’s debut album conceived between Milan, Barcelona and, New York during
various wanderings. After having put together a number of tracks Filippo and Roberto decide to start
recording with their friend Gianluca Mancini in Milan.
The studio becomes an open house as various
artists from the Italian underground scene take part.
Just to mention a few, Giovanna Garlati (Kech)
comes in to sing on “Live Mildly” while Marzo (Kech) plays the trumpet on “Splendid Isolation”.
Pasquale Defina (AtleticoDefina) drops in now and then plugging in some of his unique guitars.
“Out of the Dark” was released in Europe and the US in 2008 for Gandula Sounds and Echophonic Rec.
LATO’s album is a rare display of mature and original song writing and was widely acclaimed by the
critics, as well as receiving considerable airplay from radios such as the BBC.
After having toured the US in June 2009 (New York, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Buffalo, Ithaca and more), LATO are back in the studio working on the new album that is scheduled to be released in Spring 2010.
Stay tuned!!!
