italians still do it better, but since they aren’t doing much of anything right now, these songs will do quite nicely.
my favorite of these so far is the debut track from portland’s soft metals (thanks for the rec, gvb!), who’ve got kind of a valerie thing going on here.
the ones from canadian groups gold zebra and cosmetics each scratch the italo itch in their own effective way though, so here they all are.
cosmetics have a 7″ available now via captured tracks.
