The Twits was recorded by the trio over eight weeks from February 2023 in a makeshift home studio in Mallorca, and was mixed by Marta Salogni. It finds bar italia’s economical yet evocative songcraft taking raucous, mystic, unkempt, occasionally sinister, and wholly committed turns. Songs like “my little tony”, with its in-the-red riff and excitable hooks, the cathartic four-on-the-floor of ‘world’s greatest emoter’ and the festival tent psychedelia of “Hi-fiver” need little in the way of exposition – these are exhilarating rock songs, if wayward and strange.
Other moments see the band’s increasingly signature, three-act mini-dramas moving into previously uncharted territory. Cristante, Fehmi and Fenton can each manifest a different melody, mood, and cadence – at times overlapping and linear, at others unexpectedly divergent – often within the space of thirty seconds, a tag team rooted in shared language and kinship. “Jelsy”, for instance, plays out like a conversation between friends over wistful, buzzing country blues, the alternating voices at points comforting, wry and hopelessly yearning. The sinuous, slow-burning waltz of “twist” stands out in its bare lyricism and seems to invite each band member’s individual take on a confessional.

Greycat Used FAQ
How do you grade used vinyl?
All of our used vinyl is hand-graded and fully play-tested to ensure accuracy and quality. We follow the Goldmine standard and grade conservatively.
Here’s how we rate:
- Mint (M): Perfect, sealed, or unplayed. Extremely rare.
- Near Mint (NM): Looks and plays like new with minimal signs of handling.
- Very Good+ (VG+): A few light cosmetic marks or faint surface noise—plays great.
- Very Good (VG): Noticeable wear and some background noise, but no skips or major flaws.
- Good (G): Heavier wear and noise, but still listenable.
- Fair (F): Heavily worn or noisy—priced accordingly and sold as-is.
