Take one Italian guitarist active in the Downtown Improvisation and New Music scene – combine with youthful influences of movie music and Spaghetti Westerns – mix well with a love of ‘60s Surf sound bathed in reverb – top with bass and drums… and you get the Italian Surf Academy! The Italian Surf Academy are back, bringing their surf-rock/jazz/improv sound to the musical soundtrack of Roger Vadim’s 1968 psychedelic science fiction sex comedy — the cult classic Barbarella! This new release is a terrific follow-up to their first album, "The American Dream", revisiting the sound of '60s/'70s spaghetti westerns, noir and horror soundtracks (on Avant 13).
