Dissociative
ICE CREAM

LA RECENSIONE

Bedroom punk. Lo-fi, noisy, synthetic (2 and a half minutes max per song). An almost extemporaneous album, perhaps recorded live (it seems so judging by the "punch" and spontaneity you feel when listening to it). But enough to make us understand that Dissociative, with a clear, simple concept driven more by instinct than flights of fancy and meticulous planning; less is more. Less is better. A concept that, although linked to minimalism, is closely tied to punk situationism. The situation of Dissociative is that of a duo (male, female), distorted guitar and drums, good pop melodies, a natural inclination towards noise. References are quite clear. Green Day, but also Nirvana. Nothing new under the sun? Why not? After all, today no one invents anything anymore. The hipsters of the world’s metropolises show off with a convoluted indie that doesn't mean anything and can't hit a nice song even if you pay them. Dissociative, lost in the mountains of their area at least, with this handful of 10 songs, almost always hit the right melody. And that's enough to make us appreciate them more than some cool band that might make a reviewer of some "in" American site drool (see Pitchfork or, without going too far, Rockit).
