Rating: How to define an album and a band that present themselves with such a cover?
I would dare say thunderous, but that would be too easy, although provocation is something extremely ambiguous nowadays and often one is tempted to stop at the surface without scratching any further.
The Anusia are a mysterious debut band that self-produces this little gem of indefinable music and distributes it among friends and acquaintances, promising to soon hold a concert to express all its potential.
Musicians are decent on the technical side, but most importantly brilliant in terms of content: minimal lyrics that on one hand make you burst out laughing, on the other induce deep reflections on the frustrations of many... and a sound that interweaves experimental electronics, prog whimsy, frenzied theatricality, and bursts of deafening rhythm.
Certainly a product not for everyone and paradoxically might satisfy less the fans of nonsensical pop and breakthrough works than the modest consumer of rock and tunes.
Tracks like "Canale Anale Banale" are the quintessence of a philosophy of life now distant from this society. Not to mention the gem "Pattume pneumatico" which, on a bed of reckless clamor, stages a delirious recitative, in an invented language, which becomes intuitively understandable thanks to the intonation and expression.
These Anusia certainly won't have a future, and perhaps only the album cover will be remembered for its oddity, as always.
Moreover, if you want to get a copy of the CD, you have to get in touch with them, as they don't have a website and frankly declare that they have no intention "of being bothered by people who expect something from them".
