2006 release ** "A New Astronomy is the reissue of a CD-R limited to only 100 copies released in 2005 by Sub Pop and which serves as a pleasant appetizer while waiting for the new album scheduled for 2007. Dedicated to the do-it-yourself astronomer Giovanni Paneroni, who lived in the first half of the 20th century and theoretician of a new astronomy antithetical to the Copernican one (flatness of the earth, smallness of the sun, nothing but a sphere 2 meters in diameter and weighing 14 kg!), A New Astronomy is a heterogeneous and eccentric condensation of home recordings. In what is a collection of experiments recorded on a 4-track in Fasolo's bedroom, the most experimental and difficult vein of the group finds space: from the ghostly drones of the initial Lost Aurora, to the melody for alien carillon of Hidden Hower, from the autistic convulsions of Red Apple Devil to the percussive noise of Sex Rituals Of The Dead and The Cannibal Club. The few more relaxing moments, however, make the crystalline class of our guys re-emerge: this is the case of Hollow Earth Theory, a small treasure chest of an almost pastoral psychedelic, or the small cabaret-singer-songwriter sketch of the final Me And Joe On The Moon. A New Astronomy is therefore an eclectic and varied album, with a strongly cosmic mood, in which our guys redesign their personal sound universe, distilling small gems of cosmic-rock mixed with droned psychedelic that remain a cut above many other groups, not only Italian ones."
