Clever Square's style is closely linked to American indie rock, a timeless genre marked by a slacker aesthetic which exploded at the turn of the '80s/'90s. Guitarist/singer Giacomo D'Attore manages to make it shine in his own way. "It's the kind of music I grew up with and I identify with. For me, it means the possibility of expressing oneself for what one really is. In 2019, I think its still important just to play, have something to say and say it in a direct and spontaneous way. In reality, it's not simple or obvious but it's the lesson I learned and I try to put into practice". Clever Square's tracklist includes ten songs, each of them autonomous but functional to the essential overall picture, that pay tribute to a legendary generation of outsiders like Neutral Milk Hotel, Guided By Voices, Dinosaur Jr., Lemonheads, Pavement and Sebadoh, in tune with present-day names such as Courtney Barnett, Car Seat Headrest or Kurt Vile.
