“Dove andranno i Verdena, after "Requiem"? Is there a middle ground between "the new Nirvana" Music and the desperation of these songs, but it is said that the Verdena are looking for. " So ended, in April 2007, the review by "Requiem" on Rockol.it. With hindsight, one can definitely say that the compromise Verdena have not tried and went straight on their way, even the way they left. They holed up in Valley Lujo, near their Albino, not making any news leaked for three years, isolating himself in his life, with fantasy, sounds, but also full of joy and problems such as birth to death of a child for the singer Alberto, the breaking of a hard drive inside with a lot of material already recorded. No compromises were saying. Already, in 2011 when you decide to give the prints a record like "Wow, your position is clearly that of someone who refuses all marketing strategy and loves to make records as they did once. The direction is clear from the choice of first single opt for the crazy folk lopsided and the text of "Hell and fire rockets harpy" and not the "perfect individual" for pop melody, duration, and the text of the ballad "Song stubborn" is a clear statement of independence.
"Wow" is a disk initially indecipherable, a mixture of melody and noise, a nod to texts and atmospheres it is not blasphemy to mention Mogol / Battisti, pure nonsense, piano rather than guitar, psychedelic pop-rock tracks and uncontrolled. After listening to some of the Ferrari and Robert Brothers Sammarelli melt all resistance you may have against them, grinning and push you into their wonderland. ( www.rockol.it )
The team was able to put heart and soul in a job that involves mainly the head. Write pop music so rigidly drawn managing to combine a passion and sweat is not an operation that can allow anyone, especially one that can very well the band is the ability to produce and make their own (and Italians), some attitudes of pop music international avant-garde. So when "Loniterp" or "accidentally" dare vocal harmonies to great effect, it is easy to come to mind bands like Grizzly Bear and Animal Collective, but all it only lasts a few seconds because Verdena are around the corner to put everything under the own brand, so superbly autograph.

I have a band Verdena "important", a highly respected but that is not the system is not plugged into any scene, there are no famous guests on the album but only their friends, as is clear from the closing credits in the booklet where it appears even a homegrown band name, something to which we were not more used. "WOW" was completely written and (almost) played by Albert, Luke and Robert, along with collaborators only with regard to external instruments more "classic" for the rest of the three test themselves with keyboards, synthesizers, various machines and even a beautiful accordion. Unable to parse the songs individually, but "WOW" is a wonderful trip, that once completed it would start immediately, as children coaster. Yet here is always very high as the listening to feelings and inspiration of the band and the only comment that comes to closing the whole is, in fact, Wow! ( www.indieforbunnies.com )
