E’ il musicista più anti-convenzionale dell’underground torinese. Ha un cognome che nessuno facendo il suo mestiere vorrebbe ritrovarsi. Ma è raro vedere un artista seguito dall’affetto di un così vasto suolo di aficionados. Vittorio Cane è uno chansonnier piovuto dalla luna, a metà strada tra Felix the Cat e Lucio Battisti delle periferie. Approdando al suo secondo album, non se l’è sentita di trovargli un vero titolo e come nelle famiglie di una volta l’ha chiamato “Secondo”. Semplicemente. Perché questa è un po’ la sua attitudine cioè l’estrema naturalezza in tutto, dalla composizione all’interpretazione. Do not tell great stories, but minimal situations. At his concerts are still trapped in a thousand sensations: initially you may be struck by a jarring, and then fixate on the poetry of verse. Except back to earth thanks to laugh at things like: "Where is the chicken, the chicken I am." (Fabrizio Vespa)

review
NOISE AND 'is now a regular customer of these sadistic columns, and if
two clues do a test this is just a genius.
remember the previous episode of incontinence
his "do-it" & minimalettric midway between the idiocy pure and the flicker
talented.
Once the players were said to recklessness genius &
indicate those erratic in performance, almost irritating
their apathy in the collective game, hard look at martial arts training,
of iron discipline tactics, but capable of languid
in a smile of admiration the sneers of the coach
angry and curve on the verge of a nervous breakdown for repeated laziness,
with a play that left dumbfounded. Vittorio Cane
This sharpens the cleats on the turf, gigioneggia in the locker room, yawning
along the side band smoothing steps
elementary and support from college football, waiting for fifteen minutes interval
per masticare il chewingum e bere il the corretto.
Sgrammaticato ed insolente riduce la migliore tradizione del cantautorato
italiano senza rendersi conto che tiene in pugno Rino Gaetano, Battisti,
Samuele Bersani e Bugo pronto a sciorinare il gol del secolo dopo
aver seminato frotte di difensori avversari e siglando il punto che regala
alla sua squadra la salvezza all'ultimo tuffo. Uno sfigato consapevole
del suo ruolo fondamentale alla salvezza della società dei consumi.
Poetico e visionario come i cani con gli occhi rossi che guardano
da dietro le sbarre di una finestra lo scempio di un quartiere popolare
violentato dalle ruspe. Sciogle l'acido delle pareti e lo strofina
sulla chitarra. E' di Venaria, suburbs of Turin, the province of linea77land
with which has nothing in common except the same bus to get to the center
and buy a set of strings, a rickety mixer, Technics dua dishes without pins and discs
chipped Motown. It 's a genius, a word of Jimi Jump.
review wave rock
Put it this way: listen to this album, at least once. You may dislike him, or otherwise fall in love. The first impression is not positive, so that the feeling of sloppiness is so intense that it makes you think a mere exercise after work, if not the classic bully by bonfires on the beach, intent on banging four to pick up some nonsense girl. Maybe ... And yes, the dog could be a double agent, a little 'freak a bit' son of a bitch, true to a certain point, ready to jump ship if the weather would turn for the worse. Then analyze the texts: simple, which seem to consist of a child who was stolen lollipop, lullabies, laments and girotondi taken for a ride ... Bugo comparison is a decadent poet of the late nineteenth century. So? Where are the strengths of this "Victor Dog"? Well first of his texts, whose apparent banality, as often happens, hides underlying philosophy ", or perhaps a way of being genuine, unmediated by any socio-cultural superstructure. Vittorio Cane seems to live completely out of touch. Packages checked daily life (her) telling small large bad luck, frustrated hopes, reaching heights of absolute onanism autoflagellatorio in the "Special" "Why, because it always happens to me ... not to basket". This is the new suburban blues (Italian) turn of the millennium. The blues of the novels orphan generations of great ideologies, unable to cope with accelerated culture of modern society. So let the beautiful open-mouthed "The snow under the sun, a handful of agreements that progress to fade into an anticlimax of absolute tenderness. But do not be fooled, we do not seem particularly inclined to fuss. So leave the antics in the form of singing out of tune to Bill Callahan ("Grand Canyon", "Music"), and even spittle synthetic mutant pop music ("I Do Something") so convoluted by a spray any hypothesis of musical heritage. Halfway between a post-modern vaudeville and bring a visionary of the everyday of their psychology borderline, "Victor Dog" is a hard and sour, like the best things of Rino Gaetano. Get it, and you may find you enjoy sharing those ills that afflict the congenitally marginalized niche of Italian society. Review by Antonio

review rockit
And where this comes out? Electronics for City Living, called himself The Voices. Then back or forward by 180 degrees. But there is, or is there?
Vittorio Cane is on the edge, teetering between the manifest and the mirror, even if the generation that has befallen the lot does not stimulate flights of fancy. More than anything
Dog (born Claudio Cosimato, for who you ask) has to understand what you want to do: mainly because not all turn out well. Type the jump blues of "Grand Canyon", made in one day for sure born evil. Or some sloppiness here and there, in a perfect disc that rotates with Remo Remotti and is preparing a new cd more importantly, corredato da video per i quali sta cercando registi.
Però Vittorio azzecca due singoli che cambiano la partita, pieni di ipocondria, antieroismo e poca voglia di uscire. Uno è "Dipendente", sostiene il confronto con Carboni ma lo si immagina cantato dal Celentano borghese 1980, quello di "Soli"; un ritmo low-funky à la Pino d'Angiò sottende il ritornello, distico singhiozzato e ripetuto dal pubblico come una litania, spada di Damocle da non far ascoltare all'amante abbandonato: "pensavo di esserne fuori / dai dispiaceri e malumori". L'altro porta il nome di "Mille", segue immediatamente nella tracklist e vede le stelle: rauco e accentato fin che si vuole, Cane raggiunge lo zenit del cesello sul refrain ma non dimentica a growing airy style of old Christmas commercials for Coca Cola. "And surely I find myself down there, where it does not rain and there is no TV" sad fable of catchiness, together passionately. The rest flows
private, between bursts of Gaetano, with the first Spriz Vasco, chronic province (Ivrea, her) in a world that indulges: paradise destination, already at the next stop?

SAUCE
It 's the most unconventional musicians of the Turinese. He has a surname that nobody would find himself doing his job. But it is rare to see an artist followed by the affection of such a vast land of aficionados. Vittorio Cane is a chansonnier rained from the moon, halfway between Felix the Cat in the suburbs and Lucio Battisti. Landing on her second album, not if it is felt to find a real title as in families once called the "Second". Simply. Because this is a bit 'its attitude that is the very natural in everything from composition to interpretation. Do not tell great stories, but minimal situations. At his concerts are still trapped in a thousand sensations: initially you may be struck by a jarring, and then fixate on the poetry of verse. Except back to earth thanks to laugh at things like: "Where is the chicken, the chicken I am."

review ALIAS (insert weekly Manifesto)
The new album of Victor Dog - real name Claudio Cosimato - is less distorted, lo-fi and surreal last (self-titled, released in late 2005). The singer Turin focuses on the common state of mind and gently lays bare on his intimate allusions. Between the lines there is an air of bar-counter, you feel the power of seduction carried on by the dog marginal environments. The listener the choice to take the weight, however, that the songs they transmit or to go further and enter this world romanitico. Vittorio Cane court tour p a pop singer intimate, but certainly not of those who close themselves up 24 to 24 hours in their room / studio. And to think we pay homage to the amount of final Remo Remotti (hilarious quando viene sorpreso nel suo “dietro le quinte”) che lo definisce un poeta.

recensione FNAC
Ok, è tornata la canzone voce e chitarra e di questo siamo molto contenti.
Siamo contenti che a Torino, oltre la musica elettronica e i gianduiotti ci siano anche i menestrelli
e a questo proposito, parliamo di Vittorio Cane.
Appartiene alla scuola degli stonati e quindi al primo ascolto può deludere gli amanti del bel canto ma, se lo si ascolta un po’ (come si fa con Tricarico o Carboni) è come trovare i girasoli tra le erbacce dei campi: scansando il canto scorato, ci fa divertire con “Ci proverò” cantata con un ispirato Mao, c'incuriosisce with the quirky and original use of the chorus reminiscent of Baptists and funny "Sunday" here is that we finally have a Turin "Sunday Beast" to be sung by bicycle on the banks of the Po, instead of the lake. But Victor also can do serious things: really special atmosphere reminiscent of a little 'the dark of a certain "school Radiohead" (Around and Mille) and two flashes of Genius, two girasoloni: Up here I'll be back up and, of those songs that, as Vasco said: "... come out already with the words ...."
worth so do not stop at the question of singing duckling (my mother I said that doing it on purpose and she - ah yes, but the others know? -) And enjoy the simplicity of Victor, a man who as he says: "We will try, happily, with everything you can, always" and apologize if it is short.

resensione FreeQuency
VITTORIO CANE: clumsy, dazed and a bit pandering. Yet, with its author's provocative vein Vittorio Cane hits and, like all the things that matter, is imprinted
. The name is well chosen, because as a singer songwriter from Turin is pretty dog, but the distance According to the lovely album presents an artist who, from his self-deprecating "malcantismo" makes a pose. Zip up the role on a brush, between compelling reasons which I'll try (feat. Mao) and I'll be back up, give pearls of wisdom as: "You know, the sadness gets in the evening ...". To confirm this, even the arrangements are much less naive to what Victor would have us believe. Inspired to watch. Luke Hunter
review Lost Highway
The greatest power that gives the music is its unique ability to awaken the imagination to lead you into surreal worlds and different from what we normally pour in front of your eyes. Listening to this disc I found myself walking for miles in countries distant past, inhabited by fictional characters. While walking, the sensation of a voice behind me. The music that filled my room was manifested in the form of a minstrel of the past that behind me, slowly, he followed my path. This is Victor Dog, aka Claudio Cosimato of Turin, thirty-four singer grappling with her second album, by the express According title. Songwriter and storyteller, Victor Dog, has a very personal approach to his music. It transcends genres, combining them and overcoming them, but failing to create a thread in the fabric of 15 tracks that make up the tracklist. At times brilliant, at times confused. Too much originality does not always reward and risk is to stay within the nonsense. At a very effective writing is not echoed vocals unattractive: This is the strength of some of the most successful pieces as I'll try, I'll be back up and Employee, but becomes the extreme weakness of tracks like Cascafaccia, Mille and I believe it still. Il disco ben risponde a tutte le sfumature della civiltà urbana che l'autore prova a rappresentare e che fa da sfondo anche nei brani più introspettivi. Secondo è un album dalle grandi collaborazioni: oltre alla presenza di Mao e Remo Remotti, da sottolineare le collaborazioni strumentali di Paolo Spaccamonti e Stefano Danusso su tutti, rispettivamente alla chitarra acustica e al basso. Nel complesso un disco curioso e impertinente, che dividerà nettamente la critica, così come già aveva fatto il precedente.

recension vitaminic
Un disco che parte con un’introduzione fatta di spot tv invoglia senz’altro all’ascolto. Inizia con questo blob, Secondo ... the second album of Victor Dog, songwriter
Turin, bishop of Neo-realism freak and also a bit '
trash. The irony and paradox are the tools difficult to handle, but
are the key to understanding needed to try to enter the world
of Victor, a surrealistic painting of himself, a mirror moon
park where his voice and sometimes awkward
even dissonant is in its place. The record goes to flashes, with glimmers of brilliance to Bugo
and other places far more common and preventable.
scattered pages of notes taken on the street are the archive of stories wrong, maybe
ended badly between the grotesque sense of defeat and the air of arrogant
chi fa spallucce. Nel giro di questa pop-metropolitana, fermate funky,
soli di farfisa e chitarre acustiche accompagnano le dichiarazioni
semiserie di Cane, ché in certi momenti pare di sentire addirittura
Rino Gaetano (Dipendente). In questo delirio incontrollato di dipinti post-moderni c’è posto anche per il lirismo silenzioso di Intervallo o per la ballata in vecchio stile (Around, Mille):parentesi piacevoli che danno spessore al disco. Alla fine del giro restiamo un po’ frastornati, sarà stato l’accumulo di immagini, di
situazioni e di parole a volte cliché a volte intuizioni geniali.

recensione kronic
Bellissimi Delusions in salsa lo-fi
It 's a songwriting "ramshackle", to Vittorio Cane. Alas, however, to dwell only on appearance, because a voice behind clumsy, bordering on out of tune, no substance, there are songs catchy, original, reminiscent of the first Vasco Rossi, Rino Gaetano, Lucio Battisti.
"Second" is a disc with photographs the everyday world of an artist who is not seeking daring musical constructions, but is limited to assume the texts with the simplicity of "low fidelity". Almost all fifteen tracks have a very good pop usability, strong choruses that remain in the lead quite easily. Excellent use of choirs, capable of giving a cut above so many songs, including the wonderful "Employee". In the album there is also room for some guests to Mao (the Revolution) the task of opening the CD, while the lock is assigned to the divine Remo Remotti, bizarre and brilliant poet, concludes that the work in its own way.
You arrive at the end of the disc with the certainty of not having wasted their time. Perhaps - if you really want to be fussy - any song in less than an entire work would give better uniformity, but fair enough.

Out Pile
Character history Music already substantial, backed by a few demos, a first self-titled album released - as do what we have in our hands - mainly through the channels of the network and, consequently, a fair claim to autonomy from the commercial logic of the music, Vittorio Cane, aka Claudio Cosimato of Turin, is a songwriter atypical but framed in broad terms in one dimension "rough" out of tune and that has given us in recent years as a character Bugo. In any case, there are differences with the Novara and are certainly not few, seeing that dog seems to get closer to the figures of our history as the very first songwriting Vasco Rossi and Rino Gaetano, and his tone is more introspective. Beyond friendship with another batsman free Remotti like Remo, who was involved in some shows and that is the protagonist of the "Conclusion" of this work, the one with Mao, backing vocals on the single "I'll try," and texts that tell of urban worlds with bewildering accuracy and personal events and readings of the world, often to emerge on any item is an awkward that without doubt has its poetic value, but that sometimes is very difficult to sustain. For those who can overcome this obstacle, this is the voice of an outsider who deserves to be heard because it has a lot to say, in a song like "scattered" manages to get beyond the public affection for oddities and eccentricity of Alexander

review indie rock
"It's hard not to become attached to small candid insights, the playful and a little sloppiness' that bitter songs of Victor dog can express"
Starring: Vittorio Cane (vocals, guitar), Paul Spaccamonti (guitar, Farfisa), Stefano Roman (sampling, synths), Stefano Danusso (bass), Walter Piatesi
(drums), Simone and Palumbo Giulia Carnevali (vocals).
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: behind the pseudonym no doubt guessed, a reflection of a desire for identification that is parochial ("Vittorio, as the King") and also artistic ("Dogs, ironic to find myself among my own kind "), lies the 34 year old Claudio Cosimato, abnormal dall'hinterland songwriter from Torino in Turin and celebrated as an icon Or, closer to the great circus of the Olympic festivities yet to Moltheni opening act, the Arab Strap (!) and others. Just three years ago, the debut album 'Vittorio Cane' did talk about himself almost exclusively to insiders, critics sharply divided between a group of detractors, not just horror for the quality crystalline some compositions, and a handful of enthusiastic worshipers, perhaps a bit 'too hasty in pronouncing the word' genius' with not a little lightness. Like it or not, all those who listened quel disco si sono posti l'inevitabile domanda "Ma questo ci fa o ci è?", facendo poi pendere l'ago del giudizio personale ora nell'una, ora nell'altra direzione, e riconoscendo di conseguenza nella scaltra insolenza oppure nella sincerità l'indubbia cifra espressiva di questo musicista. Chi scrive qui propende decisamente per la seconda opzione e per il correlato universo di significati e valori.
INGREDIENTI: "Ci sono persone che cambiano e persone che cambiano il mondo", recita l'incipit nell''Introduzione'. Inevitabile che il piccolo Vittorio Cane rientri in entrambe le definizioni soltanto in termini infinitesimi. Rispetto all'esordio lo spostamento è quasi impercettibile e limitato all'umore del bislacco menestrello, almeno apparentemente più sereno nelle nuove creazioni rispetto alle vecchie. C'è una premessa obbligatoria per tutti coloro che non lo conoscono: difficile che l'impatto con Cane sia positivo, solitamente risulta straniante se non sconcertante. Naturale, è effetto della non-abitudine ad ascoltare musicisti tanto 'off', per cui la prima impressione è di sciatta e svaccatissima amatorialità. Il consiglio è di non fermarsi al primo ascolto e approfondire, perché Vittorio Cane sembra conoscere bene i trucchi per farsi apprezzare da chi è ben disposto nei suoi confronti. Il genere è un indie-folk intimista, aperto a contaminazioni sintetiche e alquanto sghembo, che rientra perfettamente nei canoni del cantautorato slacker: voce stentata, crooked melodies, dissonant guitars and fragile, minimal text, arrangements often approximate and style proudly "low fidelity", which adds a pleasant taste to play the joke (not the rare cut-up radio, for example). Behind the easy cliche is not possible to recover the traces of a vein genuine, just redefine its aesthetic criteria according to a different scale: Can not previously recognized in 'Mille' or 'Cascafaccia' signs of absolute spontaneity of heart that is not spurious or mediated. In this sense, the possible references are numerous, from Gaetano to Bersani, by Celentano in Tricarico, certainly gratifying as partial. The artistic spirit is no more akin dubbio Bugo, anche se il novarese è più smaliziato e disposto a buttare in burla i propri sentimenti. 'Secondo' non nasconde la propria scanzonatura poetica e visionaria, una grazia ingenua e un istinto pop sguaiato e surreale: i difetti sono evidenti ma l'album gioca a carte scoperte, sapendo di poter coinvolgere con altri mezzi. Prendendo confidenza si fa fatica a non affezionarsi alle piccole intuizioni candide, alla trasandatezza giocosa e un po' amara che le canzoni di Vittorio Cane sanno esprimere: a conti fatti le parole di Remo Remotti nel suo cammeo finale non sembrano esagerate e hanno tutto il sapore di un'investitura.
DENSITA' DI QUALITA': Vittorio incarna perfettamente l'icona dell'antidivo, della persona comune, proponendo con ostinazione la sua poetica del piccolo e del semplice a partire dall'io narrante autobiografico, riflesso del giovane di periferia sensibile e un po' sbiellato alle prese con un mondo contorto, spersonalizzato, di difficile comprensibilità. In 'Ci Proverò', cantata insieme a Mao, Cane scrive il proprio manifesto estetico e riesce a parlare di contemporaneità con una voce nella quale ci si può riconoscere. Lo stesso vale per la dolce-amara 'Domenica', un brano che presumibilmente allude alla disoccupazione e all'Italia di questi anni duri. Quelli di 'Secondo' sono quadretti che raccontano di innocue fobie, ipocondria, anti-eroismo ma anche di volontà di riscatto, di quotidianità vissuta ai margini, con uno sguardo secondario and tenderness that is not privileged. 'Scattered' transmits the feelings of the human and emotional disorientation. Its text, like others, is disarmingly simple. In the apparent triviality is preserved but the true nature of the author, his little boy-and pastures free from any ideological superstructure tinsel or socio-cultural, surely one of the most praiseworthy quality of the disc: the proof that sometimes a little 'healthy disengagement ( 'Up here', 'Back Up') is not bad at all, indeed. The romantic attitude of the contemplative to the Buster Keaton or Forrest Gump ('The Hermetic') is the winning of a singer who knows how to turn your flaws (verses deadwood, discordant, inexperience and sgrammaticature) into elements of a more complex set of identity, then into strengths. Among the gems include a long autumn flavor that evokes Battisti ('Around'), plus a couple of love songs taken from the first album, a delightful and catchy ('You Do Something'), the other outlining the paradigmatic the classic loser 'non-luxury' ('Employee'), especially noticeable for the absence of rhetoric and forced poses. Note on 'Believe Again', a song very ruffled, contradictory, with vocals are not always in tune with the guitar part, and yet open to aspects not without charm (inserts between songs and electro-scratch) and a sensitivity index that leaves indifferent.
SPEED ': a good description of the speed of' second 'was given by the same dog speaking of himself in an interview: "We were born to live in peace and walk, and we are here to run. I just want to walk and look around. "
TEXT: "I organize my team, long balls and run / And I'm confused, but the world smiles', from 'Believe Again'.
DECLARATION: from 'Losthighways.it': "I live amuse me, and they remain very different from the records instead where there is reflection and study ... well ... I like the live event to stop the songs if I find long, hear the people sing and leave it to them. "

review Rockol
would be trivial to make puns with the name of our artist. Obvious, perhaps, but much irresistible. For that matter, is hard to resist even the verses that he wrote and the way she sings them.
Vittorio Cane was born and raised in Turin. Aside the flute of the medium, his first encounter with the guitar at the age of sixteen. He made his debut later in 2000 with a first self-produced disc.
Today, in 2008, behind the collection "In aller Freundschaft" (Living City) and the eponymous album, "Victor Dog" published three years ago by Innabilis Productions. In June
finally released his new album, "Second", enriched by collaborations of note from the one with compatriot Mao (whose duet with the beautiful "I'll try," chosen as the first single), until you get to that with Remo Remotti.
The songs are unpretentious dog. They seem to put there, played and sung to live, right first time. And if this thing the listener can feel it and appreciate it (I challenge anyone not to do it), that's it.
so happens that the new "I'll try" and "Employee" and the older "craft", "The snow under the sun", and "neo-realist" - all played tracks on his MySpace - become a sweet discovery that you do not can do without talking. Then, as normal, people will leave more fascinated by a song from another: "Sunday" ("Today it is still Sunday, and are three days that it is Sunday" and finally, "But today is still Sunday, I am almost a year Sunday is ... ") and" I'll try "are two immediate and honest songs, songs that come immediately to head straight there and stay there.

review ONDALTERNATIVA
As the title points out, "Second" is the second work of Victor Dog, which hides under the pseudonym Claude Cosimato, I would call a poet who gives us surreal reality beads in simple forms but never trivial, through jingles are now in the lead (try it to listen to "Sunday").
Vittorio Cane is a songwriter who knows how to use words as an art form, so perhaps at times too clever, which makes the risk of not being understood and to be superficial to some listeners inconclusive. Who will listen to this work should attempt to enter a dreamlike dimension with the thoughts, "thinking in verse / and there is nothing to change" as the text says of "scattered". Only then can you understand all the complexity hidden under an appearance pop. Entering
to speak more specifically of individual pieces, after an introduction that want to enter the world without patterns songwriter Turin welcomes us immediately engaging guitar single "I'll try," which now tends to stay in the head of the listener for its simplicity and musical text "I'll try / calmly / with all that I can / always" goes the refrain, enriched by the voice of Mao (to Revolution): the piece seems to be the artist's poetic manifesto.
Then comes the third track, "Cascafaccia", which resembles' Vasco Rossi bubbles, in proportionate and surprising change of pace for the middle of a few seconds, the song that brings an end to the almost hypnotic rhythm ... broken by the metallic voice of traffic news.
"Top" is a piece that I personally I found it very gently, which describes the figure of a man to whom the world is changing around and can not find a way. Excellent use of choirs, which will surely mean that the song creates an atmosphere around him is lost.
is no wonder then that the bottom of "Sunday", with its sound that permeates throughout the song, upbeat and enjoyable that is made by the presence of trumpet and flute from the first listen you realize the potential of radio music.
"Employee" is personally my favorite piece in the album, started from a scratch-style hip-hop then winds along a typical songwriting rhythm in which the keyboard is still to rule the roost, with a text in which the protagonist scopre ancora dipendente dai sentimenti e dalle abitudini piacevoli che essi provocano "Pensavo di esserne fuori/da dispiaceri e malumori/di amore e non amore/e invece sono un dipendente".Il finale è ancora arricchito da un coro,elemento che crea nuovamente una giusta alchimia,come già in precedenza.
"Mille" è un pezzo in cui è ancora la chitarra acustica a dominare, con i suoi echi di classica malinconia;il testo è ancora la conferma della surrealità del cantautore torinese: "Ultimamente spesso/mi abbandona il cervello/nuovi medicinali/accumulati scaffali. La gallina dov'è? Il pollo son io".
Come stessimo assistendo ad una piéce teatrale ecco l' "Intervallo", pezzo acustico di sola chitarra you need to give a little 'peace of the "spectator", the first of the new immersion in the poetry of "We still believe" piece from the hip-hop rhythm in which the scratch is the background to a Vittorio Cane which is expressed through football metaphors "I organize my team / long balls and run." I found this piece a bit out of tune 'the whole of a work that had the potential to be more homogeneous as it seems a bit' off set compact album "I'll give you something," which sounds are a bit 'confused.
"dispersed", as mentioned above is, in my opinion, an indication of the mindset in which the listener has to "store" this cd ... the novelty of Victor Cane.
"Quassù" è ancora una volta apprezzabile per l'ottimo uso dei cori che sorreggono la voce a tratti sgraziata ma efficace di Cane.
"L'ermetico" è un ritratto che l'autore sembra dare di se stesso, sapendo che ad un primo ascolto può risultare un po' "instabile".
Infine "Around", pezzo costruito su un paio di semplici accordi chitarristici e accompagnato da un testo irreale che si scioglie nel ritornello, una riflessione sullo scorrere del tempo e di come sia futile tenerne conto e si debba solo viverlo"E capire che/se tutto era previsto/ a calcolare il tempo/poi resta inutile".Ironicamente sul finale del brano si sentono una sveglia suonare e il tg meteo.
La "Conclusione" è affidata alla genius and eccentricity of Remotti Remo, which in a few simple words and funny describes the figure of Victor dog as best you do not potrebbe.Remo and Victor, two poets surreal.

review gufetto.it
"The poet of simple things", aka Victor dog, will be released soon with his new album "Second", which reflects glimpses of daily life of a thirty that is overwhelmed by feelings of inadequacy in relation to their life. Through his dream texts reflected the desire to succeed and overcome human frailty.
Mao, Remo Remotti are just some of the prestigious names that have contributed the success of the last work of Victor Dog, artistically known as the "poet of simple things." Born and brought up musically in the capital of Savoy, his art acts as a reflection of a generation of young people who increasingly complain of discomfort caused dall'inettitudine base against the everyday.
"Second", the name of the album (among other things, the second of his career), is a work that lends itself to a type of reflective listening, the arrangements give off a good dose of serenity, the voice is focused on limit of its possibilities, as if to underline the state of distress, the lyrics are attributable in part to a mind surrealistic, partly dream concepts. Most of the songs on this album is a kind of internal dialogue that everyone should hope to achieve a higher level of awareness, as expressed in the lyrics of "I'll be back up." 'It's better slip away and look up "was the motto of the Dog through the passing of the evening feels the sadness grow, so that it could go on.
"I'll try" is a track featured in the earlier albums and, as they did on that occasion, he sees the presence of Mao (Mao and the Revolution), which has a key role both in terms of music than on the meaning testuale. La canzone può sostituire la quotidiana dose di autostima, dal momento che si ripete un battuta importante,“ ci proverò serenamente con tutto quello che posso sempre…”. Sicuramente fondamentale è il ruolo assegnato a Mao che funge come una sorta di mèntore, allo stesso modo con cui la coscienza ci parla per far sbloccare le situazioni più critiche; inoltre è importante anche la valenza che il cantante torinese attribuisce all’aspetto musicale, dal momento che la voce di Vittorio Cane, precedentemente portata a toni più aspri, rientra “in carreggiata” con il resto della composizione proprio nel ritornello che la vede protagonista insieme a quella di Mao.
Per restare in sintonia with the idea to get out of an inconvenient situation, the text of "Sunday" is certainly very focused: the boredom that attacks certain times of the day makes it seem as if they lived in the same day, leads us to distinguish what kind of world exist, as if everything is periodically repeated, endlessly and diversification. There are only few who see through the monotony and then try to overcome it, even if late, but with the idea of \u200b\u200brecovering.
In contrast to this idea of \u200b\u200brebirth in some songs, it is also extensively analyzed the idea of \u200b\u200bawareness of human frailty. In fact, while Vittorio Cane preaches the importance of trying always in other songs such as "Employee", "Cascafaccia" and "Thousand" reveals very likely his true personality, that may feature a bit 'all artists. This concept of finiteness, which never abandoned him, made even more tangible by the sounds used that do not seem fully in harmony with each other, also accompanied by his voice that seems to come out of the composition.
