Dario Margeli is a rock singer-songwriter who sings protest songs covering socio-economic issues [1] in Italian and English.[2]
Early years
While still a teenager, he started writing songs.[3]
Career
Margeli is credited with creating the liner notes for a 1970s psychedelic rock album reissue in 2011.[4]
He resumed making music in 2010 [2] using YouTube and mass emails to the media. He has collaborated with American guitar player Hugh Williams.[5] His first song, Dentro Un Vortice[6] was re-released in March 2012 with Italian lyrics and its video featured a Belly Dancing instructor. In March 2011, he released the single Quell Allegro Calore with lyrics by Turin-based lyricist Roberto Caiato.[7] In October 2011 came the third single Somebody Pull Me Up with guitars performed by Hat Trick. The production featured louder, raunchier guitars. The lyrics talk about how regular people feel trapped in a social system of low-paying jobs and a bleak future.[8]
2012
In May 2012, Vice Magazine in Italy ran an article on the song "Buongiorno Fino A Quando Servo" (Good Morning As Long As I Am Useful) highlighting the blunt lyrics of the song. It also points out how the author finds the graphics in the video irritating, leaving it to the reader to decide if he is the next big thing or not.[9] Some have labeled the lyrics of the song, in which the singer complains about being laid off from work, as leftist political lyrics.[10] Thanks to people sharing the video on Tumblr [11] the song also made it onto Hype Machine [12]
2013
A single was released titled "Salvarmi Da Questa Anarchia" and reviewed on Italy's 3rd highest-ranking rock website "Rockit.It".[13] The title can be translated as "Save Me From This Anarchy". The lyrics talk about existential doubts and how to overcome indifference. It was also featured on Italy's national radio RAI in Radio 2 in the program Il Ruggito Del Coniglio [14]
Style
The lyrics of the songs he sings often deal with the frustration of being a regular employee in the current economy. He uses acoustic guitar and string sounds to create a feeling of sadness. Musically, the vocal melodies come from experimenting with Middle-Eastern musical scales and then transposing them into Western Rock music structures. He has been compared with Italian singer Franco Battiato.[15] In a review done by the indie music website Stordisco, he is compared with Italian new-wave group Amor Fou.[16]
Collaborations
His first three singles received remixes produced by Hungarian producer BiTbear ,[17] a producer who has worked with Näd Mika, Pierre Pascal and many others.
