BACHI DA PIETRA Tarlo Terzo

Description

Bachi Da Pietra's music is damaged, dark, droning, doleful, doomed… almost like a depressed Italian Jandek playing in the style of Earth's Hex album…? Or Radian gone 'wooden guitar'? Other comparisons could be made to Sinistri, and Larsen. An ominous moodiness pervades, stark tension increasing, as insistent beats and acoustic guitar strum are deconstructed to accompany the whispery, lonely-sounding vocals (sung in Italian, with English translations provided in the cd booklet). The percussion and guitar playing both sometimes sound like splintering sticks, and you can practically hear the smoke curling up from the singer’s inevitable cigarette.
