Album Notes

Figli di Madre Ignota is a band from Milano who plays Maccaroni Swing, Rumbas, Possesed Polkas, Invented-from-nothing Klezmer wearing Pardo-Fez.

We like retrĂ² atmosphere, swing and rumba songs, you'll find balcanic music, klezmer and TV tunes echoes with a lot of brass inside. We put it all in a melting pot mixing with surf, ska, and rocksteady.

We're born from an insane passion for bachelor music, everything about grind from the 50's, vintage sounds, exotica and lounge.

Make yourself a PardoFez and dance with us!

On our website www.figlidimadreignota.it you'll find all the lyrics translated in english!

If you're among the numbers in the alternative Klezmer following, this is a no-brainer. Described as, "Maccaroni Swing, approximate Rumbas, possesed Polkas, invented-from-nothing Klezmer wearing pardo-Fez," this album might bring to mind a genetically-comprimised combination of Danny Elfman, Tom Waits, the Cramps, plenty of mad scientists, and the Count from Sesame Street, all having taken up Klezmer-polka-ska-swamp-o-billy..? Nevertheless, it's unusual, it's quirky, it will spread smiles better than a virus.
