Description: | Veteran artist Sebra Cruz releases his debut album ??Don't Worry Psy Happy?? on DJ
Tennis?? revered Life & Death imprint. The daring eleven track LP is as experimental as it is
definitive and encapsulates the Italian spirit in perfect style.
The LP follows two previously teased singles; ??Margaret??, an ode to Cruz?? girlfriend which is
a deeply passionate and expressive melodic house offering and album title ??Don??t Worry
Psy Happy?? a hedonistic, tripped out soundscape.
The lead track ??Sunfish?? is a melange of powerful synths overlaid with sporadic vocals and a
swinging breakbeat which make the record the perfect soundtrack for early morning
dancefloor euphoria.
The album continues its genreless motif and is hard to pin down. It broaches a variety of
styles including cinematic and ambient leaning sonics such as ??Optimist?? and ??Poliziesco??,
the latter which includes Gabriele Fabbri??s atmospheric guitar riff throughout.
??The Siebel Road To Mars?? is a similarly powerful yet emotive record which samples current
Italian President Sergio Mattarella between the piano and the extraterrestrial sound palette.
Continuing with the more abstract tracks ??Flying Junior??, which was named after Cruz?? own
sailboat, emulates the peacefulness and tranquillity of the sea. It??s yet another reflection of
Sebra Cruz?? artistic personality.
Juxtaposing the calm and serene records from the album, ??AltreCose??, inspired by the
energy of the Neapolitan people during Sebra??s DJing residency in the 90s, is a more high
energy disco-infused record. Similarly ??When Life Was Slow??, released on Life & Death
back in 2020, is another upbeat dance interpretation and a tribute to Cruz?? passion for Italian
composers from the 60s and 70s.
Speaking about the album Sebra says: ??What emerges is in my opinion an album with
predominantly Italian spirit, disco, house with both edgy and gentle influences. I never decide
what to do first, I simply follow my spur of the moment instinct. Releasing an album for Life &
Death is cool because I've always had huge respect for Manfredi.?
Sebra Cruz and DJ Tennis have a long lasting and trusting collaborative relationship
exhibited by the former's numerous releases on Tennis?? Life and Death label. DJ Tennis??
encyclopaedic musical brain and shared passion for Italian composers perfectly
complements Sebra??s stylings.
Striking an impeccable balance between abstract and obscure sonics and more methodical
and conventional melodies, 'Don't Worry Psy Happy?? is a body of work that exquisitely
expresses Sebra Cruz?? personality via different worlds and mediums. - |
