Jennifer Gentle import psych from Italy
PROFILE. Bands based in music business oriented cities like London or New York often immerse themselves in the local scene, playing to trendy peers and eager critics. But if, like Jennifer Gentle, you’re based in Padua, Italy, with no like-minded peers or hungry trend-watching music press, then you adjust your parameters.
“It’s like the world is a huge city,” says Marco Fasolo, the 26-year-old singer and guitarist behind Jennifer Gentle, who released their second Sub Pop CD, the psyche rock “The Midnight Room” this summer.
“I love Italy,” he says, “but it has nothing do with music at the moment.”
Fasolo recorded “Room” alone in his home studio with only a guest pianist on one song. But he knew he’d have to have a band in order to take the record on the road.
“Italy’s a little sad for musicians,” adds Fasolo, calling from New York, where the band is playing the Mercury Lounge that night. They’ve been on the road since early August, traversing America’s three coasts from Seattle to Los Angeles to Texas to the Eastern Seaboard.
“There’s a lot of bands that play American or English music, but 10 years after,” he continues in broken English. “It’s sh-tty; it’s sh-t. There’s few venues. People don’t care. People care about soccer, fashion, and disco music. People don’t buy CDs or vinyl or go to concerts.”
Somehow he managed to find four musicians for this tour, culled from Italian cities as far away as Trieste and Bologna.
Fortunately for Fasolo, his father, clearly an Italian who rocks, had an informative record collection, which introduced Fasolo to one of his favorite bands, Pink Floyd. Not the Pink Floyd of “Dark Side of the Moon,” but the cool Syd Barrett early Floyd. Jennifer Gentle is, Floyd fans will note, named for one of Barrett’s lyrics.
For all his griping at Italy’s rock scene, Fasolo says he loves living in the gentle-paced Padua.
He can’t really see himself living in a big American city like New York or Boston.
“I get a little scared of huge city,” he says. “I get nervous. The problem is too much noise; too many people. I think they are not for human beings. They are for other kinds of people.”
