{"product_id":"memory-s-fool","title":"Memory's Fool","description":"\u003cp\u003eToronto (soft) (jazz) (folk) rock poet Fortunato Durutti Marinetti (a Dan Colussi's moniker after Pinc Lincolns or The Shilohs). File it under: late Robert Forster, Bill Callahan, Leonard Cohen, Robert Wyatt, Serge Gainsbourg, Lou Reed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in Turin and based in Toronto, Marinetti has been playing in bands of varying degrees of obscurity for the last twenty years, frequently touring North America in his Volvo station wagon and quietly self-releasing albums to an oblivious and oversaturated marketplace. \u003ci\u003eMemory's Fool\u003c\/i\u003e is his second release under his own name (following 2020's Desire) and his first time working with proper label support. Drawing inspiration from the restless, explorative spirit of 1970s songwriters like Lou Reed, Robert Wyatt and Joni Mitchell, Marinetti chose to first wrote all the lyrics before assembling a hybrid pickup band of jazz, folk and rock musicians to render the songs of \u003ci\u003eMemory's Fool\u003c\/i\u003e into a form he calls \"poetic jazz rock\". And indeed, \u003ci\u003eMemory's Fool\u003c\/i\u003e is poetic jazz rock of the highest order. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross it's seven patiently composed and meticulously recorded tracks, each song on \u003ci\u003eMemory's Fool\u003c\/i\u003e unfolds like a small essay or miniature treatise that focuses on inescapable human themes such as: sex, death, relationships, discovering who you are, feeling hurt, feeling confused. We are all \u003ci\u003eMemory's Fool\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Marinetti layers Baroque rhythmic aesthetics onto a folk-rock skeleton, draping the resulting wonder in vocals reminiscent of Lou Reed\" -- Beats Per Minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A finely rendered record that surrenders to the unknown and unknowable... it's easy to submit to the album's exquisitely cathartic ride\" – Dominionated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"You will hang onto every word that Fortunato Durutti Marinetti quietly utters...You will find yourself instinctively leaning into Marinetti as if he suddenly appeared before you, a soft-spoken man. He is frustrated by excess, capitalism, and the advice he receives. He hopes you understand.\" - Laura Stanley.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bobo Integral","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50482850464075,"sku":"1144466","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e95c13b8-f462-4959-aaef-65c99899cfef_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727556917","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/memory-s-fool","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
