2Hurt is a 2 piece band, formed by the rock veteran Paolo Bertozzi (already guitarist of the legendary italian punk band Fasten Belt) and the violinist Laura Senatore. This debut album is a tribute to what we used to call “border music”. The record is a collection of desertic sound, where all instruments are used in a kind of minimalistic way, and where the deep voice of Paolo declares his love for people like Mark Lanegan or Tom Waits. Musically, the album is truly cinematic. Listen to the opening track the first comparation could be with Ry Cooder score for Wenders movie Paris Texas. All instruments are played by Paolo Bertozzi, apart from the Laura’s violin which is the perfect instruments to make this songs a bit tender and full of sweet melancholy. This album is a great debut, in its simplicity and genuine tribute to the sound that comes across the border. Maybe will not change the world, but surely will help to live better for the time being.
