Damiano Rossetti is the singer, songwriter, guitarist and spiritual leader of Opera Glasses, an Italian quartet carrying an obsession for darkwave music in general and The Cure in particular.
Enchanted with the juxtaposition of melancholic lyrics and peppy, pop arrangements, Opera Glasses tries to create a similar vibe in their music. Opera Glasses’ debut album, Wearing Masks, finds the band creating their own brand of magically upbeat musical pathos.
Influences include The Cure and friends…not only that….but a certain kind of sufferance, traceable in the nostalgic world of dark 80’s new wave; a sort of “quiet desperation”, emerges between the lines. Songs that span the space between marked deep tones, and more soothing solutions through songs with a recognizable pop new wave structure, more often melancholic, and held together by dreamy lyrics which go beyond the damned and romantic, to dark and melancholic. Songs are written by Damiano Rossetti the group voice and guitar, as well as the OPERA GLASSES’s founder.
Donning the same heavy-hearted musical spirit of bands like The Cure and Morrissey, The OPERA GLASSES brings a contemporary feel to 80’s emo-rock, creating original yet familiar sounding musical compositions that pay tribute nicely to the genre. Read the rest of this entry »
