Like an Italian PJ Harvey, Pivirama's founder and frontwoman, Raffaella, prefers plumbing the darker, more sexually frank, and sordid side of rock.
IN MY MIND, the follow-up to 2005's COSA SEMBRA, revels in back-alley moodiness, borrowing the atmosphere of trip-hop but spiking it regularly with loud outbursts of guitar and drum tumult.
"In My Mind" rides a jazzy, swinging drumbeat, while electric violin colors "Quello Che Sembra." Unifying it all are Raffaella's intensely felt vocals.
