About this item

Men With Secrets is the Italian trio of Donato Dozzy, Lino Monaco and Nicola Buono. Now they're back with Sand Clock, a full-length that delves deeper into late-80s and early-90s darkwave and synth pop. The artists layer icy synth lines, shuddering bass and precise drum machine patterns around intimate baritone vocals to cook up a tension between momentum and deeply reflective moods that were all recorded across Rome and Pompeii. From the Gary Numan-esque 'Time For People' to the more Human League shininess of 'Around Three', each track reveals meticulous attention to texture and rhythm and shows this outfit to be skilled interpreters of minimal wave. An understated yet compelling exploration of shadowy electronic pop.
