Work published in 2015 but composed 90% in 2013 and 2014.
This is the second album by A92 (aka myself), which has the merit of being the most underground electro-a bit of everything album of the year (HIPSTER, what are you waiting for to put it in your top 3?!?!). Oh, the first album is called "a92 - Miking a cow" and it's on YouTube.
Oh I'll already give you the link where you can listen to this album on YouTube, in the description there's the list of songs and the lyrics.

So simply put, my task is to electroize pretty much everything that comes to mind, make some chaotic mess with it, and to compensate for this chemical-artificial exaggeration that overloads the brain with serotonin (the track "Sero" derives from serotonin, indeed) add a fake Lo-fi song from the 50s (or 40s, or 80s, what the hell do I know??) to reconnect with reality. It's certainly a more mature album compared to previous works (?!) and bla bla bla the sound heads towards more experimental destinations and bla bla bla and on it goes. This album was entirely composed during the 14 months of detention for dealing psychotropic drugs and marijuana.
In addition, A92 intends to possibly kill himself in about 4 years, that is, when he'll be 27, to join the infamous club and go down in history so that some true alternative who hates the masses will discover this work and feel super cool listening to these "special" and alternative songs, inaccessible except to superior minds,
Okay, I'll tell you quickly what the tracks are like in order and move on. (the most beautiful, according to me, in bold)
The first, "Sero": chaotic psychoneural electrochemistry stimulates serotonin reuptake more than Prozac. It's a mess. It's a bomb.
The second, "8 bit waterfall": it's a cascade of electronic synthesizers layered over each other, with the main melody marked by the piano and a kind of flute, maybe. Together with Sero, it's perhaps my favorite. It's a bomb too, although compared to the others, it might be the least immediate.
The third, "Cats": it's the most recent, continues with the genre of a quiet beginning then chaos, in truth, as a style, it is the offspring of the first 2. I got fed up with listening to it quite soon, but hey, maybe others might like it a lot.
The fourth "Roses and Horses": so actually this one was also in the first album, but here I've added lyrics sung by a girl I randomly found on Yahoo Answers named Agosta. It's an evergreen, no doubt. It's a wonderful pop song improved (or worsened) by electro bursts.
The fifth "Life is noise": this one was also in the first album, a bit musically modified and here, again, added lyrics sung by A92 himself. The result is a sort of The Shaggs (if you're not familiar, they are a band that went down in history because they couldn't play or sing) for the new millennium, full of noises inserted quite randomly.
The sixth "Lose sappy black": basically, there's a melancholic base of strings and violins underneath, with Eminem rapping "lose yourself," a little bit of "Sappy" by Nirvana, and the ending (bomb), the end of "Black" by Pearl Jam in a live performance. Vedder's screams on top of the violins are chilling.
The seventh "Base rave": it's a fake live, everything revolves around 4 notes, occasionally violins appear, and at the end, there's a standalone electronic delirium.
The eighth "Rapina": nothing, this one was meant to be a bit noir, Tarantino-like, or who knows what, in short, it turned out to be a thing a bit like that, a bit of adrenaline, unjustified and boring pauses, various noises, the sirens of the police, and well, a robbery.
The ninth "Vintage song": was the one I mentioned at the beginning without a hint of electronics, very warm and acoustic, in truth, it takes much inspiration from some Daniel Johnston songs. Notice the white noise in the background to give it an ultra vintage feel. All fake, of course, it was totally made on a computer.
Finally, there's the pearl where A92 shows his face (!?!?) and takes a political stance, namely "Dux stiloso": a song where the base is negligible but with a politically engaged text sung by Il Duce himself, José Mourinho, and Giuseppe Simone. The cherry on the cake of this incredible album.
Well, seriously, I quite like some songs (the first two, Roses and Horses, Vintage song), others less so (especially Rapina and Cats).
Greetings to all, connoisseurs.
I'll leave you with an "introduction" phrase from I Cani
"I don't care about the opinion of those who think they know it all, I want to tell stories and I want them told to me, because even the little we know is better than nothing"
