24 Grana announce the release of "Stadera," a song available digitally from September 25th, the first track from their new album, "Bidonville." The single, named after a street in the eastern suburbs of Naples, stands out for its narrative approach that blends cinematic atmospheres with a human, direct narrative.
Through this piece, the band restores poetic dignity to the stories lived on the outskirts of the city, transforming the suburbs into a metaphor for the contemporary existential condition. The music is characterized by an intense groove, with guitars that punctuate bittersweet rhythms, a melancholic and pulsating bass and drums, and a skillful use of electronics, rhodes, and synthesizers that open glimpses of luminosity in the sonic narrative.
'Stadera' thus marks the beginning of a new chapter for 24 Grana, who with 'Bidonville' present eleven new songs in their thirtieth anniversary year. The band, formed in Naples in the mid-1990s and composed of Francesco Di Bella, Armando Cotugno, Renato Minale, and Giuseppe Fontanella, continues to maintain a strong connection with Neapolitan culture, drawing inspiration from an artistic vision far removed from commercialism.
The new album promises to offer a lucid and contemporary look at the contradictions of the present, consolidating the band's place in the Italian music scene.
