"Impossible to get bored, impossible to leave ... every artist's victory is done when the public thinks: 'Wait, let's see what happens ...' " - Lester Magazine, Rome May 2017

It's hard to pin Alright Gandhi to a genre. The band have chosen some things that are unconventional in pop music: complexity, silence inside the pulse, improvisation and choruses that mutate into sound-scapes and new songs. The group play their instruments as three distinctive and emotionally charged characters. Rosa Mercedes writes songs on an earthy bass guitar and performs lead vocals with an adventurously winding and melodic quality. The songs are brightened and transmogrified by Pietro Fornara's guitar painting. Dominick Gray's drumming and presence are one and the same: full of pep, drive and agility. There is no excess to the music, all three members of the band are playing in finely balanced form that interweaves and accentuates the other. You are urged to change, move, reflect, relate.

'SOMEWHERE ELSE' (released 1st June, 2018), Alright Gandhi's second full-length album, is a testament to those rare adventures. Recorded in the mountains of Liguria, Italy and crowd-funded by fans, the record captures three musicians playing together in a remote stone house, with added sounds gathered on tours, such as Chicago roadworks, frogs in a pond in Ohio, and a man singing drunkenly at midday in Spain. The album is a snapshot, like a worn photograph from your great-aunt's runaway trip to the South.
