Indie Pop Rock & Alternative
The passerby, lost in thought, is drawn to a neon sign that’s been flashing the same message for at least thirty years: "Hot croissants even at night." An invitation to end the evening with a sweet, comforting note. To fill your stomach and fend off tomorrow morning’s headache. But as they push open the inevitable foggy glass door, they’re struck like lightning—an electric jolt: no smell of croissants, no pastry chefs at work, no sleepy-eyed baristas behind the counter. Instead, a place overflowing with life, untouched by the fact that it’s five in the morning—while the world outside is either long asleep, just waking up, or, at most, heading home. Multiple rooms, and each one its own atmosphere, its own full-blown story waiting to be lived. Presiding over it all is always the same master of ceremonies: the Baskerville. Let him take the lead and you won’t be disappointed. One moment, you’re flying off on a jazzy, sparkling escapade. Next, you’re counting everything obsessively until your mind melts into an electropop waterfall. Then you’re thrown into a dangerous love affair, caught up in a groove so deep you might just become an accomplice to god knows what. You’ll follow the oldest friend you’ve got through his final days, popping psychotropic meds together to take one last trip—propped up by the warm, then suddenly razor-sharp voice of a French Baskerville. And that’s just the start of what might happen once you step through that retro-glowing portal: “Hot croissants even at night.” A kind of space-time rift. But if you do it—if you break away from the safe roads that lead you home—there’s one thing you can count on: When you find yourself staring into the eyes of grinning, moneyed, malicious wolves that haunt every Via Pasubio in Italy... when synths, horns, and ‘80s-style choruses start moving your hips without you realizing it... you’ll start shouting too, just like everyone else around you. And in that joyful, desperate scream, you’ll find yourself yelling at Totò, telling him to stay home, stay in the workshop—don’t go to Via Pasubio. By then, you’ll know the reasons even better than the Baskerville himself.
