Baustelle

Baustelle is an Italian indie-pop trio hailing from Montepulciano, Tuscany, known for crafting moody, literary-inspired tunes since the mid-’90s. Fronted by Francesco Bianconi’s distinctive vocals and poetic lyrics, the band—rounded out by Rachele Bastreghi (keys/vocals) and Claudio Brasini (drums)—mixes retro glam, electronic textures, and wry social commentary. Their breakthrough came with 2005’s *La moda del lento*, but they’ve kept evolving, dropping albums like *L’amore e la violenza* (2017) and 2023’s introspective *L’arte di lasciar andare*, which showcase their signature blend of existential musings and cinematic soundscapes.

With recent releases like *I CANI BAUSTELLE* (a quirky ode to dogs) and *Milano è la metafora dell’amore* (a love letter/roast of Milan), Baustelle continues to push Italian pop into weird, wonderful territories. Their music—equal parts romantic and sardonic—explores everything from modern alienation to vintage Hollywood drama, always wrapped in melodies that stick like a bittersweet aftertaste.
