Special discounted  bundle celebrating the visionary output of Holidays Records with three remarkable releases that showcase Italy's most compelling underground voices across generations.

La Festa delle Rane - "Il lago è il cielo del bosco e tutte le rane cantano in coro" (LP)
- The remastered vinyl edition of their breakthrough 2022 release, fourteen tracks of sun-tinged psychedelia where medieval folklore blooms into celestial children's folk hymns. Lucia Sole's off-kilter melodies wander through territories of lo-fi pomp and campfire mystique, creating music that operates like childhood itself - full of candour, tenderness, and mysterious detours.

Maria Monti - "Il Bestiario" (LP + Book) - The legendary 1974 masterpiece featuring collaborations with Alvin Curran, Steve Lacy, and Roberto Laneri. With lyrics by radical poet Aldo Braibanti, this groundbreaking album stands as one of the most beautiful and neglected works of its decade. Monti's tender vocal complexity dances with the stunning interplay of free improvisation and experimental ambiances, creating an absolutely essential document of Italian avant-garde brilliance.

Acchiappashpirt - "Ninulla" (LP, Clear vinyl) - An intimate collection of lullabies written and sung for, with, and by their son Arion. Composed by Jonida Prifti and Stefano Di Trapani, this edition of 100 copies captures the profound beauty of family creativity through toy keyboards, field recordings, and whispered vocals. Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi and featuring artwork by Re Delle Aringhe.

Together, these three releases span fifty years of Italian experimental music, from Monti's revolutionary 1970s avant-garde to La Festa delle Rane's contemporary pastoral psychedelia and Acchiappashpirt's tender domestic intimacy. Each represents a unique approach to how experimental music can function as both artistic statement and emotional healing.
