“Erotica”, the new single by Larry Manteca, is out on September 25th. The Milan-based collective blends jazz, funk, psychedelia, afrobeat, and retrofuturism, reshaping the world of the Italian golden age soundtracks.

A sharp and sensual groove that, not by chance, draws on the early seventies sounds of Piero Umiliani, a key reference and the central homage of their forthcoming album, due out this autumn.

Built around hypnotic synths, mid-tempo drums, and soft flute lines, “Erotica” unfolds as a gradual musical crescendo, eventually transforming into an exercise in exotica pop-psych, suggesting a sense of pleasure and lightness in the finest tradition of easy listening.
