Dandelions on Fire

Simone Massaron’s ear for composition on electric guitar, whether in terms of heavy aggression, subtler, sweeter moods or the broad range in between such extremes, found an excellent partner on 2007’s Dandelions on Fire – Carla Bozulich, whose own work, assisted by the similarly gifted Nels Cline, had built a reputation in that area as well. Backed by a strong set of fellow Italian performers, Massaron worked up a sharp series of songs which Bozulich complemented with her striking singing and lyrical meditations on personal, emotional intensity.
