Washington, D.C. art-pop outfit Bottled Up is gearing up to release their new album Grand Bizarre on May 27th, 2022 via Misra Records.


“Italo Love” is the crisp and summer-made funky single that features charming vocals, slick production and some groovy instrumentation that feels like its from an entirely different era yet somehow timeless at the same time.

About the track the band’s Nikhil Rao says:

There is something timeless about a good song, this sonic snapshot of human emotion in high-fidelity. It can make the concept of time disappear, it can make your whole body and mind feel different. I love it when a song gets me high, so I spent a lot of time dissecting my favorite stuff to try to catch this lightning in a bottle. I feel like the Italo Disco genre accidentally stumbled on something really pure about pop music. People who don’t even really speak English, are singing with so much emotion about nothing in particular, and you fucking feel it.
