    This is rich, idiosyncratic music that’s too wild and strange to copy.

    A darker, deconstructed companion to Tracey Denim, The Twits reflects bar italia's growth into an increasingly singular, expressive band.

    Songs lurch from amphetamine ballads to sullen dream-pop and always keep you guessing. [Review of the Year 2023, p.23]

    For the most part, bar italia have nonchalantly leveled up on The Twits. The noisy songs are louder, the edginess is more precise and, when bar italia tone down the bite, genuine creativity bubbles from the calm.

    While not as immediately trance-inducing as their debut, The Twits finds the band in a newly roiling, bellicose state of transformation.

    At their most effective, they speak loudest to our inner music geek: Come for what they remind you of, stay for what they’re learning to bring to the table for themselves.

    The album works in short bursts of adrenaline. That can leave midtempo ballads like Shoo feeling aimless.
