History

Formation (2005–2009)

Stefano Pilla and Mike Watt first met in 2005 while Watt was on tour in Italy with Raul Morales and Paul Roessler.[1] Pilla was acting as a road manager for the three musicians.[1] Pilla and Watt kept in contact and, later in November 2009,[6] Pilla invited Watt to Florence where Pilla introduced Watt to his friend, drummer Andrea Belfi.[1] Watt decided to name the trio "Il Sogno del Marinaio," which translates to The Sailor's Dream.[1] Watt chose an Italian name in honour of his mother's and band member's Italian heritage as well as his father's maritime service as a sailor.[1] The band began a short tour of Italy almost immediately after its formation,[2] and recorded its debut album La busta gialla between shows only a week after the band's inception.[7]

La busta gialla (2009–2013)

Шаблон:Main The band's debut album, La busta gialla, was recorded in Varano Borghi, a small town in northern Italy, during its first tour of the country in 2009.[1][7] The album was recorded in three days.[1] The album was released on 29 January 2013 via clenchedwrench.[8][9] Il Sogno del Marinaio took a tour of Europe during the spring of 2013 in support of La busta gialla.[10] On 1 December, the band were chosen to participate in the All Tomorrow's Parties End of an Era Weekend 2 music festival curated by Loop.[11]

Canto Secondo (2013–2016)

Шаблон:Main The day after the All Tomorrow's Parties festival, Il Sogno del Marinaio returned to the studio with producer Bruno Germano to record its second studio album. Canto Secondo was recorded at Vacuum Studio in Bologna, Italy between 3 December and 10 December 2013.[8][12][13] Before the album's release, Il Sogno del Marinaio released a special limited edition 7 inch single of the songs "Mud Puddle" and "We Come to Learn" on the record label Org Music for Record Store Day in April 2014. The single was limited to 1200 copies worldwide.[14] Canto Secondo was released on 26 August 2014 via clenchedwrench.[7][8][15]

On 28 March 2016, Il Sogno del Marinaio announced a fall tour of Europe.[16] The tour, entitled "Canto Secondo Tour 2016," was held between 28 September to 29 October 2016. Il Sogno del Marinaio played a show every night in a different European city during the tour.[16][17] On 5 September 2016, the band released a music video for the song "Stucazz?!!".[18]
