Italian quartet FITNESS FOREVER's debut album is a homage to their home country Italy and marvelous pop artists from the 60s to the 80s. Led by Carlos Valderrama (Valderrama 5), Fitness Forever embrace an infinite amount of references, styles and sounds, showing pop's common essence compressed into 30 minutes and 12 songs. A titanic work that took over a year to record, hours and hours in the studio, trying out arrangements, instrumentation and melodies. Majestic string and precious guitar arrangements, a touch of indie-pop, nods to Cinerama and Belle & Sebastian, a little scent of Brazil, shades of Italian disco and the Spanish pop of La Casa Azul, backed up by the aroma of the lounge elegance of Bacharach and Legrand - demonstrate Valderamma's profound knowledge of pop. LP (White vinyl) - limited edition 500 copies
