This
italian bunch have always amused me. They‘re music is quite unordinary. Safe to
say, their signature sound is based on the scent of vintage Italian crime films
in the atmosphere of their music. Yet their latest release bares a strong sense
of concept and is dedicated to a good old film series (which came to my
attention when I was a young kid). The motive of this film echoes not only in
the sound itself, but in the artwork design. And it looks pretty cool as well.
It‘s been too long since I‘ve gotten such a treat from the esthetics of a mere
digipack. By the way, the disk itself has pit-art emblemed on the readable part
of the CD. This makes the visual part of the album even more impactful. What
needs to be mentioned is that it‘s hardly a mini-album. There are only five
tracks on this release (plus a bonus track which is not mentioned in the track
list, making it a very pleasant surprise), yet the quality of it barely makes
it an issue. This EP in no way resembles straight-foward grind. This time the
guys did not hesitate to go full experimental. Grind meets rock ‘n roll. It was suprising to hear a synth in the
last two tracks. A synth and something distant of stoner/doom rock elements.
But they still pull off the synth element in a pleasant manner. Even if this release
goes full experimental and may sound somewhat weird, it still sounds really
soild. I would recommend this one to anyone who is looking for a breath of
fresh air in the scene.
P.S. to clarify, the dialogues between songs are from the mentioned TV series.
