Justin from Fishboy pointed me towards Pezzettino’s cute pop music. It’s strangely non-traditional and familiar at the same time. And though this photo and song don’t showcase it, she spends a lot of songs with an accordion — it’s like someone gave the Arcade Fire’s Regine her own solo project when she was a young girl, but minus the shouting.

MP3: Pezzettino – Sweet Descent
Pezzettino sounds like she’d be a great opener for lots of my favorite classically-minded performers. There’s a lot of Regina Spektor in her voice at times, there’s little melodic flourishes that occasionally remind me of Andrew Bird and her use of the piano reminds me of a few of Final Fantasy’s songs on He Poos Clouds.
