Italian duo Misteriseparli expand their immersive talent for atmosphere on new album Mondo Exotico, blending electronic pulses with global rhythms and layered textures that evolve across six compelling tracks. From the ambient, nature-infused opener “Big Tail” to the meditative sophistication of “Noloso,” the album fuses hypnotic rhythms, twangy guitars, and spacey electronics into memorably scenic creations.
The project’s knack for riveting, colorful soundscapes is evident right away with album opener “Big Tail.” Sounds of water lapping on a shore combine with seagulls chirping and tribal-friendly rhythms, establishing a definitively outdoor setting. Trickling guitars and mellow keys ensue into a warming rhythm section, building to a mid-point “waiting for so long” vocal presence — hypnotic and immersive as it evolves into a wordless, enthusiastic harmoniousness; the album kicks off in captivating form with “Big Tail” — and the quality doesn’t let up from there.
Another success, “Kaboobie” balances crisp rhythmic dreaminess and darkly enveloping buzzing, interlacing with solemn wordless vocals and sporadic glistening. The vibrant, bouncy unveiling in the minutes after proves infectious, reminding fondly of an atmospheric cross between The Orb and the legendary soundtrack for Diddy Kong Racing. Album finale “Noloso” stands out as well, beautifully meditative in its blend of twangy guitar sophistication and spacey electronic subtleties. Mondo Exotico is a stirring success across all six of its tracks.
