Band: CITTÀ DESERTA

Who: A new musical project from Italy, born during the pandemic. The sound of the Florentine band could be defined as space-cowboy kraut, inspired by the synths of John Carpenter and by the soundtracks of Italian masters such as Alessandro Alessandroni,
Piero Umiliani, and Giuliano Sorgini.

Debut single: THE LAWN

About: “The Lawn is one of the most representative tracks of Città Deserta’s
musical research, with melodies and sounds on the border between the apocalypse
and the resurrection!».

TUTV: The Lawn resonates like a theme tune for a still-to-be-made spaghetti western,
an apocalyptic one according to the band. It’s a bass/drum-driven, orchestral, repetitive instrumental with Krautrock-like dynamics. Spacey, cinematic and Ennio Morricone are the keywords here. Our cowboy sees doom and gloom at the end of the horizon. Primo debut.
