Daniele Luppi & Greg Gonzalez – Charm Of Pleasure (12" Vinyl, 45 RPM EP, 2022, Verve Records / Slowplay B0035624-01

Why This Record Matters
This five-track collaboration brings together Italian composer Daniele Luppi and Cigarettes After Sex frontman Greg Gonzalez for a dream-pop EP. Luppi’s cinematic arrangements meet Gonzalez’s intimate vocal style across songs that balance orchestral texture with restrained songwriting. “You Never Loved” and “The Rose You Kept” are strong introductions to the project’s sound.
