MILANO can be seen as the final volume of Luppi’s Italian album trilogy, sealing an expansive love letter to his homeland’s famed arts and culture. Whereas his last two records, Italian Story and Rome, pay homage to iconic grooves by The Marc 4 and soaring Spaghetti Western Era film scores, Luppi’s newest effort examines the gritty 1980’s New York Punk scene and its influence on Milanese music, fashion, and high-art. Written over nine tracks and spanning a concise thirty minutes, MILANO stands on its own as a remembrance to 1980s New York Punk idols and is an earnest testament to everything left in their wake.
