North Pole Records is proud to release Bob Corn's new album "We don't need the outside" in the United States. Bob Corn is the songwriting vehicle of Tizio Sgarbi, from the rural Italian countryside, and his music reflects the sparseness and beauty associated with a farming life. His soft guitar, tender lyrics, and hopeful songs are filled with longing, hushed harmonies, brushed drums, and broken English. The sound is captivating; with Tizio sounding like a shy Leonard Cohen or a sleepy Bonnie "Prince" Billy.
Bob Corn has kept busy the past few years touring Europe and releasing albums on the Fooltribe label in Italy. We became interested, when Miss Massive Snowflake toured with him in Germany in 2008. The stars have aligned and the fields are fertile. The time is right for Americans to hear what Italians can do with the same tools as us. Help spread the word.

Love Calls is an international collaboration of artists and labels. A 7” vinyl memento released between North Pole Records (American) and Fooltribe Dischi (Italian). This sweet collaboration of native Oregonian music / love channeler, Larry Yes, and Italian farmer / wanderer, Tiziano Sgarbi, aka Bob Corn has each artist performing an original song and then covering a song by the other.
Bob Corn sings in poignant accented english with an acoustic guitar. Songs of longing, memory, and love. His grammar may be incorrect but his observations are unique descriptions of transatlantic truths. Larry Yes continues the strumming as well as bringing swooning horns and suitcase drums along for some moments of stoned wandering.
Larry Yes has released 5 solo cds over the past 10 years and recorded / toured Europe and America solo and in Art of Flying, Six Foot Sloth, and The Pink Widower. Bob Corn has two cds on Fooltribe and is probably playing somewhere in the world as you read this.
