Five piece MILANOSPORT are transmitting a potent and living interpretation of their home city Milan’s nightlife with their debut single “Sushi.” The new track blends post punk, surf rock, and shoegaze synth into a focused slice of savory-salty scrumptiousness, a prosciutto crudo of a single for sure. Deadpan vocals fall from the singer’s lips like a cigarette divorcing the bottom lip of a slack-jawed midnight reveler. The lyrics tumble out as a fraying rhythm guitar chugs and pounds along with impeccable rock drumming bolstered by a carbonated bass riff. “Sushi” is effortlessly cool while progressing and shifting into exciting post punk sounds before slapping you back with stiletto guitar lines. Finally, they open all the dissonance for a climax that feels like the end of a long Milan night that extended long past the aperitif. Fans of Interpol, Art Brut, and Ought will find lots to love on this track. Here is MILANOSPORT talking about their debut single:
“’Sushi’ secretly photographs the mundane life of Milan, exposing its grotesque superficiality without filters. The nightlife and excesses of Milan, the city that never sleeps, serve as the backdrop against which the lotus-eaters move, caught up in the whirlwind of necessary divertissement that slowly dulls the senses to the point of nausea. The bass line spirals, dragging you through the illuminated streets of the city, while evanescent lights flash in the darkness, following the obsessive, hypnotic rhythm of the song. Dissonances, crowds of people queuing at the counter, laughter, soft lights, blurred images, the taste of Campari: nice.“”
