Coming out of London’s indie rock scene, Giack Bazz is a talented singer-songwriter unafraid to explore the depths of his mind and unearth tales that cut across the spectrum from societal critiques to discussions on mental health, love and loss. The moniker of musician Federico Giacobazzi, Giack Bazz first started his songwriting journey in 2008 and in 2015, he was encouraged by his bandmates to bring to life his solo sonic vision.
A successful crowdfunding campaign paved the way for his debut album, Childhood Dream, released the following year. This cathartic work served as a vessel for Giack to navigate and overcome the traumas of his formative years. The album earned acclaim and was reimagined on stage as a rock opera, thanks to the support of the Arts Council of the region.
Since then, Giack Bazz has been on a musical adventure releasing multiple singles and albums that have struck a chord with listeners worldwide. Looking forward, Giack Bazz is gearing up for the release of two brand new albums, with Just a Little Bit More Famous set to drop later this month, followed by Bedtime Stories For Computers in July.
Bringing us his latest release ahead of the LPs, he shares his new single titled “The Moon Is Painted,” a song that’s been shortlisted for the 2024 Sanremo Giovani award. First written on a portable Pocket Operator device, Giack took the initial idea to his band and penned the chorus which features a bass trombone and dazzling six person choir.
Serving up an enthralling indie rock ride, “The Moon Is Painted” starts with fading string tones, joined by the distant plucks of guitar tones before the song erupts with the strike of drums into an epic burst of pounding drums and crunching guitar riffs. Over the pulse of bass guitar and snap of the drum kit, Giack’s vocals float above to spin airy melodies as rattling synth flutters add to the atmosphere.
Launching into the chorus, a truly spectacular sound takes form as emphatic backing choir underpins Giack’s soaring vocals to craft an anthemic indie rock outing. Followed by the grit of stuttering guitars, the elegant leads of the verse return to build up to another chorus of crashing drums and memorable hooks capped by a slick guitar solo to create an explosion of modern rock grandeur. It’s a thrilling showcase of Giack Bazz’s incredible songwriting and the performance flair of his band in the bringing the song to life in an enthralling fashion.
