Doménico Vecchio - Untitled
Sure looks like a sick release... some twisted fantasy idea from a masturbating and masochistic teenage boy who has nightmarish necrophiliac dreams? Nevertheless, the cover-art is splendid and it hits you like a razor... or as a very sharp knife (like in the picture). A thick and lovely texturized sheet of cardboard paper with the sick bunny on, and a red piece of blood-colored paper with the tracklisting plus notes on. The cassette has been sandwiched between, and it all has been firmly slid into a transparent plastic cassette-tape bag (VERY sexy!). Are we dealing with a sicko release here?... absolutely!
5 tracks, 28 minutes long journey into a depraved dimension which lies between self-destructive harsh noise and radio pop music? An atypical and weird harsh-noise with a... intriguing surrealistic aesthetic attached to it. It would be stupid to namedrop some of the hotshots here of course, but try to imagine early (and noisy) Nurse With Wound together with British Smell & Quimm? That kind of sick, surreal seductive and just ... sick. Having a very experimental and direct aesthetic, while having a focus on retrospective pop culture/music (the samples within). Very action-driven and very abrasive also.
I am not really a great fan of harsh-noise, but this one I do like. It does have GREAT "entertainment" value, a lot of sick/interesting things are happening in the recording. Not just a guy pressing the distortion button and feeling like a noise artist. It feels genuine and honest from the start and to the end.
The material was made by a Doménico Vecchio and this (supposed) mini-album has been released by Spanish Marbre Negre. I suppose you check it out if you need something being...depraved!.
