Nested Russian Dolls Of Paranoia

Where the first tape, Reveal, Accept, Remember, Forget, revived mid 50’s ideas of weird hope (UFO sightings, suburbia, space race) and the second, Maury Island Reverie, explored early 90’s disillusionment through a sound world of mall culture, late night cable TV and rampant consumerism, this new work concludes de unplanned trilogy with a more randomised yet no hope approach to the sentiments and conc…

Louise Burgers: voice, pre-human pedals. Gianlorenzo Nardi: drums, organ, voice, pedals. Recorded through subterranean direct record…
