In the spirit of the season, NEEDTOBREATHE have a gift for their fans, a video the band made when they were on tour in the UK "dreaming of White Fences while hoping for a White Christmas".

The clip is in fact for the song "White Fences", off last year's studio album "The Reckoning", and was shot using an 8mm Vintage Camera iPhone App. Enjoy the video clicking on the frame on the left.

Capita spesso di questi tempi per convenienza, etichettare e circoscrivere una band in un genere ben definito. Con il rischio di far passare un buon disco per un prodotto tra i tanti che infestano quotidianamente il mercato musicale. Niente di più sbagliato se di fronte hai una band che pur appartenendo ad una scena musicale cerca di discostarsi e dimostrare la propria identità. Cosi come nel caso degli Switchfoot anche i Needtobreathe fanno parte sulla "carta" di quel filone di band cristiane che cercano di disco in disco di distaccarsi dagli sterotipi del genere.

White Rock? Christian Rock? Nulla di più sbagliato, il terzo disco dei Needtobreathe "The Outsiders" conferma l'intenzione dei Needtobreathe di essere un'entità sonora autoctona. Un disco ancora una volta diverso dai precedenti, con spiragli southern rock e cori gospel, una base "rootsy" che di primo acchitto spiazza e necessita svariati passaggi prima di poter entrare in sintonia con il mood generale del platter. Si tratta del classico grower-album, che cattura l'ascoltatore poco alla volta, grazie a quell'impeto melodico e alle geometrie vocali e strumentali che schiudono di volta in volta nuovi orizzonti. Intediamoci il dinamismo melodico della band è rimasto integro, non fosse altro per una continuità di songwriting e una tracklist che ben bilancia gli elementi in un crescendo sempre più incalzante.

Nei dodici pezzi, "Lay 'Em Down" scelto come primo singolo spiazza per le radici southern/gospel, e sulla falsariga si staglia l'atmosfera rarefatta di "Through Smoke", le melodie cristalline di "Valley Of Tomorrow", i ritagli acustici di "Won't Turn Back" o la dolcissima ballata "Stones Under Rushing Water". Ma "The Outsiders" a mio avviso merita l'acquisto per la title track, un clamoroso anthem modern/country, e una song capolavoro del calibro di "Hurricane", il vertice assoluto a livello compositivo dei Needtobreathe. Una band che cambia ancora una volta pelle, dimostrando non solo versatilità, ma anche uno stile e un approccio a queste sonorità unico che non le fa perdere nel mare magnum di band senza arte ne parte. Non modern rock, non christian rock, ma permettetemi un'etichetta fuori dal comune. Soul Rock. Dio benedica i Needtobreathe.
