CRM / My Lunch

release “My Lunch”
out on April 14th 2023

“My lunch” is the song that gives its name to this album from which the pivotal scene from which the concept derives:

Imagine looking forward, after working hard, to a tasty and well-deserved meal, thinking about our favorite foods, those that make us feel “at home”. But here’s what our lunch really consists of: an endless vortex of meaningless consumption, leaving nothing but a pile of ash. Yet it is not possible to stop, but to continue beyond hunger, beyond need, until losing all control over oneself and one’s heritage, in a sort of hallucinated liberation from the “self”, to enter into something new, with a new consciousness.

The texts are brushstrokes of images, in which the singer-painter Luca Palazzi leaves open spaces for reflection and the imagination of the listener/hours, so that they can find their own interpretations.

The references range from social criticism, to current events (Buy, Interference, Weirdo), to sometimes melancholic, sometimes dreamlike introspection (Vanity Wheel, Mirror, Dreamers).

“In my room/ there’s a view/ in my bones/ in my brain/ there’s the clue/ in the dark/ like a stone hides his grace/ hold your breath/ come you bliss/ like a newborn/ like a newborn I’ll close my eyes”.

“My Lunch” is a record with a nocturnal and dilated mood, which flows like a stream of consciousness, in a single sound magma, post-punk and electronic, with sudden industrial turns, noise incursions, and constant psychedelic contaminations and dreamlike moments.
