Bee Bee Sea always sound great, and each LP always sounding like Bee Bee Sea (if you like one, you'll likely like the others), but each album clearly having its own thing going on, working into your innards in different ways each time, this one with plenty of their signature rhythm-rich spring-loaded punk numbers but showing some reflection as well, and this variety they've delivered along the way doesn't seem some forced attempt to make sure they always sound vital and immediate, but rather it sounds like just capturing what they are feeling at that time, and capturing it with an authenticity (perhaps an authenticity that can only come from not really worrying about that...trying to not be something can be as restricting as trying too hard to be something). The fact that this celebrates the dinky music scenes removed from the big city helps remind me of wonderful people I've met from small towns in Italy (I've never been to Europe, but I've been fortunate to spend time with them folks when they traveled here...our times together always sparked by meeting at shows or Green Noise), people who really helped me see how real people can be. While the band clearly has influences (and this album design/title offering a big nod to the Gizmos), this is Bee Bee Sea all the way, in some ways seeming to reach all the way back to their wonderful debut LP, and reaching back to decades of inspirations as well (while perhaps not obvious and maybe twice removed, perhaps all the back to the 1960s, with bands like the Who, the Kinks, and some of the American "Nuggets" bands...and the mid-70s middle American underground rock bands that seem to grew out of that), Bee Bee Sea reaching back, gathering up and delivering another essential listen from this band from Italy. -- winch

"The idea of coming from an isolated place, with cold, foggy winters and blazing summers, far from major cultural and economic hubs, doesn’t sound all that appealing. Yet the Gizmos managed to capture this desolation with a sense of irony and genuine attachment to their roots. In our own way, maybe unconsciously at first, we let ourselves be inspired by this, too. And Stanzini is just that: a parallel universe, a creative force born to fill in what might be missing for a few kids from a provincial town. From a garage turned into a rehearsal space, Stanzini took shape—a musical collective that creates and develops projects far from the hype of the big cities. The album contains 12 tracks that tell stories of these people and places. If the Gizmos inspired us in spirit, Stanzini can be allright goes much further musically. It’s still garage rock, but it expands broadly, embracing diverse influences with a distinctly personal style and plenty of nuances. You’ll hear some egg punk, but also the Guided By Voices; hints of Sweeping Promises as well as The Cleaners from Venus. There are loads of melodies and plenty of riffs. It’s a diary of life experiences in a place that may not be extraordinary, but all in all, can be allright when you set out to change it. And music can change a lot of things."
