Gazebo Penguins are back and point to the brain

“And the unrealized things have an echo that will last, let the hands break and brings you back to reality”. For the underground records label they are back The Gazebo Penguins who published “Gestalt”, the new single that anticipates “Temporali”, an album coming on March 21st. After the release of the last album “how much” in 2022 and the subsequent tour, which saw them tread the stages of all Italy with eighty concerts, The Correggio band returns to tell life, with its noisy rock, as has been doing for more than twenty years now. And he does it with a song that takes the title from a school of thought spread in the early decades of the 1900s and which, among the various theses, deepens the existence of perception errors created by our brain, which lead us to generate structures that do not exist in reality.

“There is no experience of the” naive “world, Each perception is mediated by the brain – explain the Gazebo Penguins – We tend to give a greater meaning to the respect for the parts that make it up. We perceive the world based on patterns that anticipate the feeling, which organize the perceived even before expiring it“. “Gestalt” tries to talk about identity when we are not aware of our identity, the perception of reality when reality seems to be always something else with respect to what we know, the scan of time when the time “in itself” seems not to contemplate No week nor any Monday. The immediate and simple depth of the text is reflected in music, in which the very recognizable sounds of the band, which flow enveloping, powerful and dark between posthard-core and emo-coreshape a crescendo in 6/8 which then breaks, loses a pulsation inside the joke and becomes odd, loses its symmetry. It almost seems that it is still too early to get an answer to the questions raised by the band.

“Gestalt” is in fact only the first piece – understood both as a song and as an element of a puzzle, or better yet, to remain themed, as the first synapses – which anticipates some of the questions and reflections contained in “temporal”. A concept album that talks about the brain and its stratifications In a non -trivial way, but at the same time understandable and immediate, moving between neuroscience and philosophy of the mind. In a world in constant search for simplifications, which removes any form of deepening or alterity more and more, which trivializes and uniform, It is definitely not a little thing.
