Album Review: Let Efelanti Walk Out Ep by The Please
Alright, let’s talk about Let Efelanti Walk Out Ep by The Please. This little gem popped out of Italy back in 2010, and it’s one of those albums that kinda sneaks up on you. It blends pop, folk, world, and country vibes with gospel and folk styles—yeah, it’s a bit of a genre mashup, but hey, isn’t that what makes music fun? Released under Not On Label (a nod to indie grit), this EP feels like a warm hug wrapped in Luca Piazza’s thoughtful graphics and design work.
Now, onto the tracks. While the whole EP has its moments, two songs really stuck with me: Midday Fant and When We Are High.
First up, Midday Fant. Man, this tune just hits different. It’s got this dreamy, almost hypnotic vibe that pulls you in. The melody feels like lying in a field on a sunny afternoon—peaceful but with a tinge of something deeper lurking beneath. I think it’s the way the vocals float over the instrumentation; it’s not trying too hard, but it’s impossible to ignore. You know when a song just lingers in your head for no reason? That’s Midday Fant for ya.
Then there’s When We Are High. This one’s a bit more playful, with a bouncy rhythm that feels like tapping your feet on a wooden floor. What I love about it is how it balances being light-hearted while still packing emotional weight. There’s this one moment where the harmonies kick in, and it’s like—bam!—you’re transported somewhere else entirely. Feels like catching a train to nowhere and enjoying every second of the ride.
Honestly, this EP reminds me why indie music can be so special. It doesn’t need flashy production or big-label backing to make an impact. Sometimes all it takes is raw talent and a willingness to experiment. And yeah, maybe the album cover looks a bit DIY, but that’s part of the charm.
Here’s the thing though: listening to Let Efelanti Walk Out Ep made me wonder if The Please ever performed live. Like, imagine these tracks played in some cozy Italian venue, candles flickering, people swaying along… wouldn’t that be something? Anyway, give this EP a spin if you’re into music that feels genuine and unpolished in all the right ways.
Oh, and random thought: I bet Luca Piazza could’ve been a great painter if he wasn’t busy designing album covers. Just saying.
