If the three members of Bar Italia decided to set up a bar to live up to their name, the bar would serve a spicy mix of grunge 3.0, nightmare pop (a.k.a. the dark side of dream pop) and lo-fi folk. Those are the band’s house specialities, although truth be told, this mysterious project spearheaded by Dean Blunt always has room off the menu for any sound that helps redefine the meaning of avant-garde.
Imagine Oasis produced by Tirzah, Yung Lean setting up a Pavement tribute band, Broadcast reincarnated as a SoundCloud phenomenon: you can get anything at the bar of the best new band in London. Although they continue to nurture other parallel projects (Nina Cristante publishes her own songs as NINA and Jezmi Tarik Fehmi and Sam Fenton also join forces in Double Virgo), Bar Italia continue the momentum they built in 2023 — when they released not one but two albums — with a new record, Some Like It Hot, and an international tour to match.
