Musetta

The careers of Milan, Italy's bass player/dj/producer Matteo Curcio and singer/art director Marinella Mastrosimone converged in 2006 to form Musetta. The duo's backgrounds are rather different: while Matteo has his roots deep in electronic music, with a love for Kraftwerk and 70's German cosmic music, but grew up studying jazz, Marinella's main influences are Italian 70's prog rock and Indian classical music. Musetta's image and mood is inspired by early 20th century arts, film-noir and science fiction - a retro feel with a futuristic edge. "Mice To Meet You!" is their debut album, which sees the collaboration of UK producer Rob Ellis (PJ Harvey, Placebo, Tricky, Melissa Etheridge).
