What We Say

Dust off your shades & bowl into autumn & the office like it's the first hot day of summer with the Monday smile inducing, surf twanging, Italian sound track nodding, vintage French pop pickled, bossa indebted, easy breezy grooviness of the new Turista Per Sempre LP for PxP.

What The Release Notes Say

Turista per Sempre is a band that does things their own way. They love to pack their music with deeper meanings, lush instrumentation, and quick witted sarcasm - and they always find a way to make you dance while they're at it! It’s a refreshing mix that not many groups have managed to pull off, and that light shines especially bright on their new self-titled album, Turista per Sempre.

In the summer of 2020, finding themselves with very little to occupy their time during lockdown, the three friends made the decision to work on a new reggae project together. Sadly, said project was never to materialize as Matteo unfortunately had a serious car accident that July. Despite slipping into a coma, he thankfully went on to make a full recovery and was able to return to Italy some months later.

The combined events of the pandemic, lockdown and the accident took their toll, but in a positive way in the end. Realising that life is too short not to spend it making the music you want with great friends, they did just that. Benny and Joscha found a travel window and headed to Italy, where Matteo was staying, in March of this year.

The three met in Porto Selvaggio in Southern Italy – one of the country’s most stunning natural reserves and one of its best kept secrets. They began their project with complete openness and a sense of commensurateness that only comes with long standing, honest relationships. The basis of the project being their friendship and all that it entailed, from cooking to humour and not only their love of music. They simply played together and let things flow naturally. It was the first time in many years that they had all been in one room playing music.
