Video premiere from Italian artist Go Dugong and Welcome Back Sailors. For fans of Delorean, "White Sun" is a brand of chill, lo-fi, dream-pop that moves you with the beat but pushes you (just a little) emotionally. The images of space conjure up hopelessly nostalgic and optimistic feelings that I just can't get enough of. [...]

THE REMIX Even though they are still generally being referred to as an enigmatic Balearic-lounge singer-producer duo from Greece, Keep Shelly in Athens ' run of singles, remixes and EPs these last couple of years saw them not only navigate through a diverse range of styles, but also become a highly blogged about band that cruised into North American scenes and is set to play this year in Coachella. For their latest remix, they've decided to take Italy's Welcome Back Sailors' "Stronger" into darker territories as part of the Italian band's Love (That's All) [...]

La mattina del 13 dicembre le ragazze scandinave indossano vesti candide e una corona di candele accese. L'oscurità della notte di Santa Lucia , che secondo il Calendario Giuliano era la notte più lunga dell'anno, è ormai alle spalle e la luce può ritornare. Ci si scambia doni, si preparano dolci tradizionali, si canta in coro e prende il via il periodo delle festività. Come già gli anni scorsi , anche "polaroid alla radio" ha deciso di entrare nello spirito natalizio e di provare a farvi un piccolo regalo. Ho chiamato un po' di amici e di [...]
Here is a great visual reminder by vimeo user Giovanni "Gio" Aloi ! He did a fan video for Welcome Back Sailors ' dreamy chillwave song " Season ", taken from the Yes/Sun LP, released in July. I completely forgot about grabbin' this record back in the summer, so thanks to him for uploading his fan video. Head over to Bandcamp and buy Yes/Sun, if you haven't done it already. Footage is taken from Home Movie: On the Set of Philippe Garrel's 'Le lit de la vierge' , starring adorable [...]

Interessante esordio quello dei Welcome Back Sailors , duo emiliano cresciuto a suon di punk-hard core, brit pop e indie vario. Amici da una vita, Alessio e Danilo si divertono a giocare con sintetizzatori, tastiere e batteria elettronica, gelidi strumenti da cui riescono a ricavare suoni divertenti e rilassati. Già da alcuni anni sono stati notati dalla stampa estera e la cosa non sorprende. Nonostante le loro origini siano strettamente legate alla piatta pianura emiliana interrotta solo dallo scorrere del Po, il loro suono si discosta notevolmente dalla scena attuale della musica italiana "di [...]

Today it's suddenly raining and maybe summer's over? It's raining in my head too: I'm not sure I like my new flat, I dislike the person I've reverted to, and, easily worst of all, I fear that my beloved but increasingly stressed partner may imminently deem me as flotsam she can do without. I hope not; I don't know what I'd do, alone again. On despairing days like these, you need a despairing song to match, and Dream Cop 's sweet remix of Welcome Back Sailors ' romance-fearer fits the bill. For Tough Love Records ' recent sampler, the tape-wizard [...]

Most of the chilled-out space jams we hear in the scene today are from the good ol' USA (a lot of European and Latin/South American music seems too dancey party or something). But straight out of Italy is Welcome Back Sailors. The duo released their debut EP, I'll Be There to modest blog reaction earlier last year, but has churned out one more (free) release and a few singles since. "Season," their most recent song was made for the Unholy Rhythms We Fall Apart compilation . Their brand of light, pulsing synth behind [...]

Unholy Rhythms put out an absolutely killer Valentines Day mixtape on Monday. My personal favorite track comes from "Welcome Back Sailors." Coincidentally, I found Welcome Back Sailors no more than two weeks ago. "I'll Be There" has literally been on constant repeat for me since I first discovered them, and the new track Season was a welcome addition. New wave vocals and positively delightful harmonies set these guys apart from the chillwave hordes. Y'all know how much I love comparing bands, so I'd call Welcome Back Sailors some sort of chillwave Yellow Ostrich . [...]

Welcome Back Sailors are Italian. Oh wait, that doesn't really tell you anything. The band's a duo currently tossing up "balearic, chillwave, electo, indie, tropical" jams onto the interwebs (their words, not mine, but it just about sums things up). I recently pillaged all their summertime goodness off their Bandcamp page , and while I suggest you eventually do the same, check out my favourite belows...

Italy; renowned for it's exquisite food, it's elegant rivers and the imposing, monstrous alps; however not exactly a hotbed for brilliantly crafted indie pop music, despite it's Italo-disco culture. Alas, do not fret as Welcome Back Sailors might just be about to change our opinions of their country's musical output, with their artistic dream pop melodies and majestic reverb laden guitars, they're all set to take Europe by storm. Since their debut track I'll Be There caused quite a stir on the blogosphere, Welcome Back Sailors have gone from strength to strength, [...]

His Clancyness | A Classic Education Bologna, Italy Jonathan Clancy I'm racking up LPs in my collection, now I'm searching for all the lost 602s psych-pop gems I can possibly find!

Permettez-moi la grange plongée dans le passé, celles des images enfouies, refoulées... Quand l'innocence et la fraicheur prenaient le dessus dans le grand bain des émotions. Une rapide baignade... Il suffisait alors de tremper les pieds pour que l'oubli se fasse, ne laissant aucune accroche, ni blessure durable. Je croyais... J'ai été marqué par la musique des italiens de Welcome Back Sailors . Non pas écorché mais véritablement pansé par leurs compositions teintées de nostalgies. Les meilleurs instants ont soudainement émergés du fonds de ma mémoire, ceux que j'avais malencontreusement (ou délibérément) laissé [...]
