Bar Italia — The Twits (Matador)

“Your pretentious ways made me die a little.” That line, drawled in a deadpan by Nina Cristante, is the first thing you hear on The Twits, Bar Italia’s second album overall (and second this year). The London-based band with the breezy Mediterranean name recorded these tracks during an early spring session in Mallorca, just before their break-out Tracey Denim arrived. However, if you’re looking for Spanish sunshine—or even the Euro film star glamor that buoyed parts of the debut—it’s not much in evidence. The Twits is a darker, noisier outing, where unruffled cool wars with undercurrents of strong feeling.

As before the songs flit between three distinct voices and personas, so the mood and meaning can shift on a dime. In “My Little Tony,” for instance, we begin with Cristante lacerating the poseurs above a saw-toothed Jesus & Mary Chain riff. But soon Fenton enters with his typical inchoate longing, his voice seeking the shape of the song as it goes, as he chants about a disjointed romantic connection. It’s a futile gesture. The nearest he can come to contact is leaving something on the loved one’s car seat. The song—and the record—pits the appeal of not engaging against its emptiness.

These songs are a bit louder and more chaotic than on the debut, with slashing, seething guitar roiling under sing-song-y chants. The drums bash and crash in the most unornamented of ways, all snares on the upbeats and ride cymbal all the time. The songs stop abruptly sometimes like someone pulled the power plug, dead silence for a few seconds and then something else entirely. And yet, out of this stinging, stomping detuned murk, a thread of real human longing emerges. “I won’t bore you with the details of what happens when she left,” croons Cristante in “The Twist.” Her voice suppresses a sob as she describes what she won’t talk about (a lover who left her for a man). She makes a great effort to stay unaffected, but the thing is too powerful.

We worship “cool” in rock and punk. We love the bands that stay unaffected behind their dark shades, from the Velvets on down. But what’s so great about this second Bar Italia album is that it shows how hard that is, and what a cost it exacts. It hurts being human, no matter how slack your guitars, no matter how breezy your melodies. In fact, when you pretend it doesn’t, it might be worse.

Inktober Día 08 - La señora Cretino

La señora Cretino no era mejor que su marido. No tenía, por supuesto, una cara barbuda. Era una pena que no la tuviera porque esto, al menos, habría ocultado algo de su espantosa fealdad. Pero lo curioso era que la señora Cretino no había nacido fea. La fealdad se había ido apoderando de ella año tras año a medida que envejecía. Si una persona tiene malas ideas, empieza a notarse en su cara.

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

Roald Dahl

"I was glad my father was an eye-smiler. It meant he never gave me a fake smile because it's impossible to make your eyes twinkle if you aren't feeling twinkly yourself. A mouth-smile is different. You can fake a mouth-smile any time you want, simply by moving your lips. I've also learned that a real mouth-smile always has an eye-smile to go with it. So watch out, I say, when someone smiles at you but his eyes stay the same. It's sure to be a phony."
