"Misantropi felici," the latest music video from Pennelli di Vermeer, is available online today. The album, produced by the Soter label and distributed by Believe Distribution Service, is named after the band. A true ode to the beauty of love, nature, and more, the song's title suggests a direction opposite to the prevailing trend these days. The image of a solitary tree, a happy misanthrope just like the protagonists, who move in its shade, recurs. Like a tree, which sheds its leaves but retains its roots, people must change their ideas but maintain their principles. "This song," explains Pasquale Sorrentino, the band's frontman and the song's author, "encapsulates the entire poetics of Pennelli di Vermeer: the rejection of all conflict, the defense of Mother Earth, and the need, despite the meaning of misanthropy, to build and live in shared spaces where we can share smiles and live in harmony."
Danilo Marraffino's shots immortalize the ghost town of Conza della Campania, the epicenter of the 1980 earthquake, where the intrusive wind turbines deployed along the rolling hills are contrasted by Vermeer's Paintbrushes (Pasquale Sorrentino, Stefania Aprea, Giuseppe Dardano, Michele Matto, Marco Sorrentino) with colored pinwheels that symbolize the cyclical nature of life, the passing seasons and at the same time the invitation to look at the world through the eyes of a child.
The band is made up of Pasquale Sorrentino (vocals and acoustic guitar), Stefania Aprea (vocals and acoustic guitar), Michele Matto (bass), Marco Sorrentino (snare drum and bass drum) and Giuseppe Dardano (electric guitar).
