Artist: UNCODE DUELLO
Title: s/t
Format: CD
Label: Wallace/Ebria
Distributor: Audioglobe
Rated: *****
Adventurous, oblique instrumentals played by Paolo Cantù and Xabier Iriondo (previously involved in remarkable and unique projects like Six Minute War Madness and A Short Apnea) with a legion of friends and guests. Guitars, bass, clarinet, voices, tapes, organs, electronics, etc. collide in these bizarre architectures and ready-made objects - as if the anarchist spirit of the "Faust tapes" was revived by Storm & Stress or their label mates A Short Apnea (minus the tragic feel), Bron y Aur or I-O. A loose, but oddly powerful and cohesive interplay, where melodies and found sounds are continuously shattered and recomposed into new forms, makes this a captivating listen, probably closer, at a skin-deep level, to folk and rock than to academic avantgarde.
