The Old Soul - Gold
The Old Soul is the brainchild of Toronto’s Luca Maoloni, a gifted musician with an absurdist bent. Like Joel Gibb of The Hidden Cameras, Maoloni has extravagant, wacky ideas and orchestrates a large ensemble to try and execute them. Trouble is, Maoloni’s imagination has clearly run amok and the music on his group’s second album is all over the shop. From the cabaret-like “Your Sister” and the Tubular Bells-like “Want to Be Seen” to the frivolous calypso romp “Let’s Neck,” it’s a sprawling, ill-conceived mess.
