Well... even when I listened to them obsessively, they've always seemed a bit phony to me. I've read conflicting reviews about this last one... the fact is that it seems to me that they're trying at all costs to portray that unhealthy image of drugged freaks (but hadn't the Velvet Underground already done that 40 years ago?) in a somewhat exhibitionistic way. It remains to be seen if there's any substance to it as well. Honestly, I doubt it.

mmmm it’s a mess to find them :-) it takes patience. good luck!

hahaha lorecore I adore you.. you come up with the most unimaginable bands :-D do you know Further? because if you know Further too, I'll make you a statue. :-D

ahahahohohohoh, great josi! :-D

oh damn, you didn’t end up interviewing one of the Fugazi guys too, did you? you’re gonna ruin my exclusive :-D

bah bah, well, let's not exaggerate... I listened to it again today at full blast and frankly, I can't see even a shadow of post-hardcore and Fugazi. It's not enough to have a slightly more shifting structure and a few more twisted guitars to be able to talk about post-hardcore... they seem rather like the maximum possible prototype (yet another?) of indie... much more similar then to our own yuppieflu in intentions and substance... creative indie, yes, but still right there and nothing more than that.

eheheh, I'm glad you have a passion for the out of tune :-D ..it's a decent album, maybe excellent for Italy, it suffers a bit from that typical aura of today's bands that ultimately seem to say nothing at all. However, the songs are intelligent and strange, not bad. 3.5

hypnosphere, anyway they can be found on soulseek. The Tsunami, on the other hand, are less easy to come by, and since I have the originals, it means I couldn’t find them online :-D ..I made a mistake with the rating earlier, you deserve a 4 for your taste and because for your first review it’s really not bad at all. Great lorecore.

Bastard, you’ve stolen my review! :-) Just kidding, but this is truly one of my cornerstone albums, and I've thought more than once about writing about it... I "forgive" you for a review that's a bit too "quick," but it's not that simplistic either, since it’s your first one (right?)... There’s definitely more to write about this album. The way you talk about it makes it seem like just another one among many, when instead it’s a small masterpiece of pop art: I agree with the various influences highlighted by hypnosphere, but what I find masterfully creative is their approach: they are completely incompetent like Pavement, shamelessly noisy (thanks to a magnificently awful recording) in the tradition of noise or pseudo-noise, dreamy like shoegaze but with a childlike psychedelic attitude, as demonstrated by the singer’s voice (by the way, to me she doesn’t sound very in tune at all :-D) in the good old psychedelic sixties tradition... and all of this is played in such a tremendously naive way that it ends up being, besides shamelessly sincere, also intriguingly experimental in its own way. This is lo-fi pop, but in spirit, and even more so it’s the philosophy of "everything is possible with zero means," which is the true heart of punk and rock as a whole. A small great masterpiece.

It seems to me like a spot-on choice for a music documentary.. I'm a bit doubtful about them by now, but I don't want to miss this.
