Comment: a crazy issue by a crazy imprint called Lepers Produtcions. Both come from Italy, a country being now severely exhausted by the damned Coronavirus. Back then approximately 9 years ago all was sunshiny and joyful yet like this dada-inspired and math rock and noise rock-molded issue used to represent for (by watching the cover print one can find out very relevant appearances on the recent issue, though). All used to rustle and hop with convulsive staccato structures and interrupted sonic lines and vocal shrieks and agitated singing being obviously influenced by punk funk and No Wave movement and some Tzadik Records related daring crossover outputs with hints at free jazz and improvised music and noise. In a word, it is a powerful shift between an impressive format and overcoming emotive content.

Comment: frantically expressed guitars, feedback-heavy noises and the manifesto of artsy ideas are means to an end regarding this 8-track issue. Imagine as if an early David Bowie were produced by some hairy nuts grown up in the garage somewhere. In detail, most of the compositions are presented in the sauce of acid fried noises and quirky glam, theatrical progressive and intense art rock/punk brooding. However, there are shown off some bombastic lad rock-alike progressions either, which chime like kitsch/camp pop examples regarding the relevant context. Fantasize as if Bowie, Magma, and Jesus And The Mary Chain were thrown in a vast maelstrom. Outstanding shit by any means. One of the best releases in 2014 so far.

Comment: firstly, this issue is obviously not thought for Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and other celebrities who used to poison the masses through awkward Hollywood motion pictures and scum news produced by pulp magazines and webzines. This set is obviously designed for people prone to think with their own brain and perceive with their own heart. However, the project seems to come out from Italy. The first impression is that the issue could be considered an example of psychedelic indie punk, yet, by having had more listening times the issue winds up step by step fulfilled with weird dodges into dada music, off-kilter electronic snippets, sooty folk appearances, demented blues progressions, improvised music and free jazz mixed results. Moreover, it involves enough provoking sequencing in rhythms and motives and thereby in moods either. Bread Pitt exploits likely low-end synths (Casio SA-1 or similar analogues to it). However, the second part of this 15 piece set centers on more sci-fi, ultramodern rock music, more concretely, experimenting with space rock templates and cockeyed acid rock developments. The outlet is to be remarkably out of pop therefore maintaining its dignity and stubborness.
