Humpty Dumpty (Alessandro Calzavara singer songwriter) - Beautiful

An obscure and somewhat reclusive figure in Italy's underground scene, Alessandro Calzavara (the singer-songwriter behind the moniker Humpty Dumpty) has been freely recording and distributing music on the web for about seventeen years now. He manages to pay homage to a wealth of musical and literary sources, while retaining a true sense of originality and a subtle distrust of conventional songwriting. Robyn Hitchcock, Julian Cope and Andy Partridge are obvious references here, immersed in an intricate blend of post-punk, electronics and psychedelia
