Telecinesi
* Previously unreleased. Edition of 400 * Connected to the Occulto LP, this 7-inch single by Sorgini features two alternative versions of ‘Telecinesi’ (Telekinesis), a dark, nocturnal tune with a supernatural, macabre flavour, fuelled by solid drum breaks, percussions and restless synths harmonies.
