«Abbiamo tutti le nostre macchine del tempo. Alcune ci riportano indietro, e si chiamano ricordi. Alcune ci portano avanti, e si chiamano sogni.»
(Jeremy Irons)
Il bisogno di bellezza
Abbiamo sempre bisogno di qualcosa che ci stia vicino, di bello, intimo, inaspettato, che in qualche modo ci fa stare bene ma che contemporaneamente ci ferisce. Le cose che ci rapiscono, come in questo caso la musica, ci portano in dimensioni differenti e non indifferenti, dove sogni, storie e altro ci creano il nostro mondo ideale, dove siamo a nostro agio, già di primo impatto. Elena Tonra, ragazza anglo – italiana, classe 1990, già conosciuta nel suo storico gruppo indie rock/ambient Daughter, vuole condividere insieme a noi una storia dove tutti possono immedesimarsi, ripercorrere dei Flashback. Il suo album è una terapia musicale, parla di una storia finita (in questo caso male) ed Elena si racconta ripartendo da zero. Un disco intrinseco, personale ma che allo stesso tempo si può sentire come proprio, sotto pelle, dentro l’essenza, creando brividi bellissimi.
Non bisogna sempre pensare che un treno perduto, il cuore a pezzi e l’umore sotto le scarpe influenzi negativamente la musica, anzi, spesso è volentieri queste sensazioni hanno regalato dischi di nobile fattura come i The National, citandone uno (Trouble Will Find Me) e altri dello stesso genere più o meno. Non partite subito con poca convinzione, siate aperti e liberi.
I brani
Where The Time Went parte flebile, un suono cupissimo, urbano e insieme alla voce che ricorda vagamente i Florence and the Machine, incomincia a ripercorrere le prime righe di questo taccuino di ricordi. In brevi momenti si sente in sottofondo una leggera orchestrazione, che appare e scompare, creando visioni, sicuramente le visioni di Elena. Voltiamo pagina è arriviamo al capitolo successivo, Crushing, la chitarra acustica messa a fuoco, una batteria dal sound post rock sono un’altra passeggiata nei vari marciapiedi. Elena ci interpreta un’altra canzone malinconica dove si mette a nudo e rimane sulla parte drammatica senza scrupoli, e lo fa in modo molto egregio. Atterriamo a New York, un’altro brano dove la cantante analizza la sua situazione, talvolta è sola, talvolta in rapporto con i suoi amici, che procedono con le loro vite, mentre lei si sente persa, capace solo di ubriacarsi in stanze d’albergo.
La ragazza non è solo capace di essere drammatica, il brano semi elettronico infatti Romance spezza tutto quello che c’è stato finora per cambiare animo a questo mood riflessivo. The Dazzler crea l’ambiente esatto, come se fossimo dentro un taxi, fuori piove, e ci mettiamo a contare le goccioline d’acqua sul finestrino. Un violoncello e dei cori campionati formano uno strato soffice ma potentissimo di emotività e intermezzi sognanti. Too Sad, drammatica fuor di modo, ma stupefacente nella sua continuity elettronica e classica con le tastiere. Scendiamo dal taxi e ci dirigiamo verso Liar, un brano alienante, dove Elena ci fa immaginare tutti i suoi periodi più confusi. Un inizio tranquillo, dove piano piano si aggiungono uno strumento diverso alla volta, dei suoni tribali, poi dei sonagli, dei sound “noir”.
I Can’t Keep You è il brano che forse ricorda più il periodo Pop di fine anni ’90, però in versione acustica e con un sound più movimentato, quasi energico, che non ti fa capire che cosa vuole trasmetterti di preciso, ma molto bello in ogni sua sfumatura. Il pianoforte apre la penultima canzone, 5 AM. Elena in questo pezzo mantiene una voce fantastica, a tratti molto timida ma dotata di un’espressività quasi seducente. Gli intermezzi elettronici non mancano, ma il brano non cambia, rimane sempre su quell’alone di malinconia, dove Elena ha iniziato tutto. L’ultimo capitolo di questo lavoro infine è My Heart: il brano si presenta soltanto con chitarra acustica e voce, una canzone naturale in tutti i suoi aspetti al 100%, senza modifiche e senza effetti particolari intorno, nuda e cruda, così com’è, chiudendo il disco con la semplicità più assoluta.
“Ex:Re”: ascoltare con cura
Elena Tonra ci ha impiegato quasi un anno per questo lavoro solista, ma alla fine ne è valsa la pena per questo Ex:Re, nato dalla fine di una relazione. Necessario, catartico dove la cantante ha scavato fino in fondo per riuscire a intravedere aspetti della sua relazione che prima le erano sconosciuti, analizzando le varie situazioni. Testi tremendamente sinceri, simili ad un flusso di pensiero, verità e allucinazioni, tutte situazioni di una donna che adesso è cambiata. Le melodie sono a loro volta essenziali e al tempo stesso toccanti.
Ex:Re non è un disco da ascoltare tutti i giorni, ma di sicuro è un lavoro che ci fa riflettere, sulle intemperie che possono accadere nella nostra vita. Un disco dal pathos giusto, emozionale che va ascoltato con moderazione, mentre guidiamo di notte, o sotto la pioggia, insomma… Un disco che ti ammazza se ti ci affezioni troppo, ma veramente di alto livello. Fatene buon uso negli ascolti.
