Little Til and the Gangbusters
In a Peculiar Way
(Rocketman Records)
Attilio Malambri, aka "Little Til," responded to a recent Facebook user's lament that seemingly few 20-somethings presently populate the sideburn sect. 25 year-old Little Til - now pursuing novel adventures in Parisian climes - threw in his own perspective. He noted that at festival performances with band The Gangbusters, he's observed numerous under-30s deploying crazy feet. (Still, Attilio did concede musicians of draft age seldom embrace cool cat soundings.)
Below is consideration of Little Til and the Gangbusters' 2024 release, In a Peculiar Way:
It was with sharp discernment that Italy's Attilio Malambri selected which standards to revisit. Featured songs are cream, and these reinterpretations crackle as if the material were newly minted. In ballads, Little Til's urbanity enjoys bolstering by grand harmonies. And when stormers roll out, he pounds daylights out of ivories and exhorts insistently in fevered manner. At every turn, the formidable Gangbusters tear it up without looking back. Rocking is their business, as the Treniers once declared, and the band's virtues cannot be extolled too loudly.
