I Naif World They mix the best Italian rock tradition with desert frequencies, dropping avalanches of face-spitting riffs into seas of lysergic calm. Their 2012 debut album Being Undergroundfollowed in 2015 by the new studio album Turbulentwhich, among others, sees the collaboration of Violent Bologna and the production of Tommaso Mantelli. In 2013 the Naif World were among the founding bands of the collective Undergroundwhich has given voice and life back to live music in Padua, acting as a symbol of a new way of making and experiencing music.
I Black Mountain born from the ashes of the Jerk With A Bondof which the leader was a member. Stephen McBean e Joshua Wells. Soon the group turned into a real collective called Black Mountain Armywhich also promotes parallel side projects of the group members (e.g. the Pink Mountaintops of the same McBean). The band's first album is the self-titled Black Mountain (Jagjaguwar, 2005)which surprised critics with its skilful blend of hard rock and psychedelia. In the second work In The Future (Jagjaguwar, 2008) the band added progressive rock and folk elements to their sound; the choice was rewarded, and the album was nominated as a Best alternative album at Juno Awards 2009. The third work Wilderness Heart (Jagjaguwar, 2010) is moving towards a greater reappraisal of the American folk sound, always alongside their classic psychedelic sound of a hard matrix.
I Black Mountain are Stephen McBean (vocals and guitar), Amber Webber (voice), Jeremy Schmidt (keyboards), Jonny Olsin (bass, keyboards) and Joshua Wells (battery).
