Ezio Piermattei & Ben Presto // The Balsamic Doctrine TAPE
Prepare for the sound of sound itself; selected with a master’s experience, creaking like ancient mosaic tiles.
Stray voices glitter through the hard blue sky, a piano diddles in the staccato forever, tape-crackle dusts the flexible speech streams with meaning. A heart-breaking shanty (language incomprehensible to my cloth ears) leads a jailhouse harmonica into static electric champagne.
Yet this is somehow also a rich and loamy offering. The essence of Piermattei & Presto’s sound is well-rotted, mulched; an entanglement of textures in varying states of deliberate decay. The occasional fresh nugget (the atmospheric organ drone, the motorbike cough of a clearing throat) that slices through only adding to the essential fatty marbling that further sizzles your ears.
Like the careful un-folding of Luc Ferrari’s brittle ghost. In terrible times this is a timely reminder of what it means to be truly alive.

"Like a couple o’ gilded porkers, their snouts rooting in the damp leaves, Ezio and Ben sniff out some spectacular sonic truffles for your groaning table.
