Singolo: Antarctica / Neon Days
dall'album Dream Life in uscita nel gennaio 2026



Il primo singolo 'Antarctica' affronta il dilemma etico mondiale che ci scuote dalla nostra zona di comfort con un riff funky nello stile dei migliori Talking Heads, con il cantato di Marta che ricorda il fraseggio astratto tipico delle produzioni di Laurie Anderson. "Antarctica ha preso forma durante una sessione solitaria a tarda sera - racconta Marta - quando una melodia che avevo in mente da giorni è venuta fuori naturalmente mentre stavo giocando con un sequencer. È una canzone che amo particolarmente, che parla di clima e ingiustizia sociale con un linguaggio giocoso e non".

Antarctica” addresses the world’s ethical dilemma shaking us out of our comfort zone with a funky riff reminiscent of Talking Heads in their prime infused with Laurie Anderson-like abstract phrasing.

“Antarctica is a track that found its shape during a late evening solo session, when a melody I had in mind for days naturally fell on top of a sequencer I was playing around with. It’s a song that I particularly love, talking about climate and social injustice with a playful and non-literal language.” – Marta Del Grandi

If what we leave behind is bigger than what we take forward
How can I walk straight ahead knowing that is still my burden?
The time I spend making up for my advantage,
it needs way too many ice cubes and Antarctica is melting.

Oh darling don’t be scared
You’re too hard on yourself
Just keep on walking straight
And you will be okay.

The treasures you could find
It used to be a game
Your friends, they’ve all moved on
It’s time to turn the page.

If what we leave behind is bigger than what we take forward
How can I walk straight ahead knowing that is still my burden?
The time I spend making up for my advantage,
it needs way too many ice cubes and Antarctica is melting.

Oh I’m spreading out and I’m constantly migrating
(Are you like me?
Do you know what I mean?)
And my comfort zone is bigger than the Indian Ocean
(Will you fit in?
Will you be my guest please?)

Oh darling don’t be scared
You’re too hard on yourself
Just keep on walking straight
And you will be okay.

The treasures you could find
It used to be a game
Your friends, they’ve all moved on
It’s time to turn the page.

If what we leave behind is bigger than what we take forward
How can I walk straight ahead knowing that is still my burden?
The time I spend making up for my advantage,
it needs way too many ice cubes and Antarctica is melting.

If what we leave behind is bigger than what we take forward
How can I walk straight ahead knowing that is still my burden?
The time I spend making up for my advantage,
it needs way too many ice cubes and Antarctica is melting.
