Fortunato Durutti Marinetti
An indie singer/songwriter with an affection for the surf and garage rock of the 1960s as well as the folk-rock and singer/songwriter movements to follow, Daniel Colussi played in the Shilohs and released music as the Pinc Lincolns before debuting the alias Fortunato Durutti Marinetti in 2020. First album Desire was followed by 2022's Memory's Fool, a meditative set of songs more directly inspired by '70s songwriters like Lou Reed, Joni Mitchell, and Robert Wyatt.
Born Daniel Colussi in Turin, Italy, and based in Canada, the artist later known as Fortunato Durutti Marinetti was invited to join Vancouver's the Shilohs as bassist alongside drummer Ben Frey and founding members Johnny Payne and Mike Komaszczuk in the late 2000s. Inspired by bands like the Beatles, Big Star, and the Flying Burrito Brothers, the group eventually released So Wild in 2013. Colussi also contributed writing and performing to their second album, 2014's The Shilohs, before parting ways with the project.
Colussi was living in Winnipeg when he released several solo albums under another moniker, the Pinc Lincolns, soon after. He began with the raw, garage rock-injected The Best of the Pinc Lincolns in 2014. It received a cassette release on Shake! Records the following year. The self-issued Offered Up and Joy to the World followed in 2015 and 2017, respectively, as he veered toward trippier late British Invasion sounds. Appearing in 2018, the fourth Pinc Lincolns album, On the Plain, was followed by a move to Toronto and a rebranding.
The songwriter recorded his Fortunato Durutti Marinetti debut, the self-released Desire, with musicians including Jay Arner, Jessica Delisle (Energy Slime), and Nicolas Bragg (Destroyer). It appeared in May 2020. Desire attracted the interest of labels, and the Marinetti follow-up, the more '70s songwriter-oriented Memory's Fool, was released by Bobo Integral Records and Soft Abuse Records in March 2022 (notably without promotional single "Memory's Fool"). It featured appearances from Arner and Delisle as well as Sandro Perri (Polmo Polpo), who also mixed and mastered the record.
