“With an opening beat reminiscent of Radiohead’s Kid A period, classically-inspired piano, and a voice that sounds on the brink of exhaustion, Andrea Mazzariello makes an impression. This may be music that requires a roadmap at times, but the trail is worth traveling.”

Andrea Mazzariello’s “Trust Fall” uses percussive piano and slightly distorted,
ringing guitar to drive a fluid piece that makes the best use of negative space on the record. It lopes with
an assured swagger and conjures that feeling of nerves, of not being sure if you’ll be caught, as well as
that’s been captured in music.
