If you are a regular reader of my articles or reviews you will know I like to find original perhaps quirky artists to write about. Well this piece of work is no different, I received an email from this artist regarding his work and as usual my curiosity set in. Now when you hear so much music within a week it can become quite draining wading through so much that sounds the same, occasionally you come across a little musical gem.
The musical gem in question is a Swedish based artist called Andrea Caccese who took a rather inventive approach to recording his debut EP “Icarus Falling / Set the world on fire”. The story is rather charming; from discussions with Andrea he revealed that his ep features 4 tracks that come from different sessions; recorded in apartments, hotel rooms, trains and airports during Andrea’s travels all over Europe in late 2010 and in his new hometown, Västerås (Sweden) in early 2011 with the help of cellist Nadja Ali.
The music itself is soulful and almost ghostly at times. The arrangement of the songs with Andrea’s vocals, raw guitar and the beautiful tones that comes from Nadja’s playing is uplifting and shows how simple music can be the most stunning. All the tracks have a different personality to them so it is near impossible to pick my favourite track from the EP. If stripped back honest music is your taste then Andrea Caccese is defiantly the artist for you.
