Ragazzi's The Partner - For your streaming pleasure

In conjunction with Schnitzel Records, we have the pleasure in delivering to you the latest release from Ragazzi.

Ragazzi are a Berlin based electro-pop outfit, who play a delightful mix of mellow, immaculately produced modern grooved quirky beats and bleeps.

With a soft, longing vocal that, at times, has been compared to Belle and Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch, Ragazzi have managed to successfully fuse
Saint Etienne-style, wistful pop with the electronica of the Pet Shop Boys.

But, underneath, the music is a lot darker and meaningful. It is, at turns, an understated celebration and condemnation of the mundanity and complexity of everyday life.

"Ragazzi sound like Zoot Woman and The Notwist were in it together." Rolling Stone

So here is the video "The Partner" from their third album FRIDAY featuring Erlend Oye, Norway's most popular export (after AHA).
