Details: Translucent Orange Vinyl. Limited to 500 copies worldwide. Il Sogno Del Marinaio, the international supergroup founded by legendary punk bassist Mike Watt alongside electro-acoustic experimentalists Andrea Belfi and Stefano Pilia, is proud to present their new 7" EP. The project was created in homage to the memory of the trio's dear friend Miles Cooper Seaton, a founding member of the seminal 00's indie rock outfit Akron/Family who died unexpectedly in 2021. These three songs, each written by a different member of Il Sogno, were built from memories, interactions and conversations each man enjoyed with Seaton. "I'm so glad me and my fratelli have made this tribute to a great music cat whose life got taken, taken with yet so much to give, Miles Cooper Seaton," says Watt. "I hope people hearing our music for him will maybe help them to wanna explore the music he himself made to share with all of us." "We tried to let his voice still speak to us and through us thanks to the gift of knowing him and the connection we had with him, and to the practice of music," - added Pilia. "Something Miles deeply loved and brought into this world with courage, love and devotion." "Miles Cooper Seaton was a great musician, capable of writing deep and meaningful songs," explains Belfi. "The music he made with the band Akron/Family was very significant for many. He was a generous man, always there for friends needing help and support. I found in him one of the best friends I've ever had, someone I could open my heart to. No matter what the situation was about, he was never judging. His wild spirit was incredibly inspiring, as he had no fear of expressing his thoughts and emotions. I'm so happy I can pay this humble tribute to his life together with my Fratelli Mike Watt and Stefano Pilia, with whom I shared many adventures over the last years, and in doing so, doing what Miles was fearlessly suggesting to others: in a world with so much sorrow surrounding us all, the greatest tool we have is to connect and share with people we love, with passion, compassion, and understanding and for each other." This is the first new music from the original members of Il Sogno del Marinaio in nearly a decade, following the back-to-back releases of 'La Busta Gialla' (2013) and 'Canto Secondo' (2014).
