Materialism, snobbery and an unhealthy obsession with brands are among the themes and attitudes that preoccupy Il Pagante. The Milanese trio unleash banging dance tunes that are steeped in irony and keen social observation. Starting with their 2016 debut album Entro in pass, the trio spin the likes of après-ski luxury, exam stress and wild after-parties into blisteringly fun narratives soundtracked by electro-pop, techno and house beats. Enlivening their sarcasm with deft raps and Latin-inspired touches, Il Pagante provide heavy doses of thoughtful and refreshingly youthful commentary.
