Alessandro Battista

The Axel project, whose name is Alessandro Battista, was born from a geographical and metaphorical encounter of places and sounds diametrically opposed to each other, but with a thin line to unite their vertices. The Beatles, David Bowie and again the Smiths and Joy Division make friends with the Italian songwriters of De André, Enzo Carella, Pino Daniele. The atmospheres wink at a past suspended between memory and melancholy, creating a true and imaginary dimension at the same time. The sounds, on the other hand, are direct and organic, as opposed to the almost abstract dimension of the lyrics. In practicality, everything blends into an "Italian Britpop" with jazz and post-punk influences. In the world of Axel Sgt Pepper certainly knows Dalla and together, always in the world of Axel, they would probably listen to Pino Daniele.
