Carlo's Closet Records:
INSIDE THE NOISE BOX
EPISODE 1.
I've heard that door knock a thousand times. I've heard footsteps from the hallway, fading into other rooms. I like to think of you still there, while I'm no longer around. I imagine that rustling of slippers on the floor and a whisper in the fog between the me of now and the me of then; I was suggesting to myself that it was no longer the time to pour pain over myself, pain is accepted and evacuated, accepted and transformed.
I'm in the rehearsal room, 4:00 PM, message from Carlo (the owner of my favorite record store): "A box of Indie/Noise/Punk records just arrived." Reply: "I'll be there in 15 minutes" and I arrived in 10 minutes. It will take days to select the best from that batch of fifty, but half a dozen of excellent quality have already emerged, now mine to own.
Eidolon. Idol. Boston.
I can't really tell you what I like about them, they are vaguely on the brink of many genres but post-hardcore is the common thread of this Sanctuary, dated 1992: Husker Du, primarily, but it spans from late post-punk to '80s hardcore, touching upon alternative rock linked to a certain intimate metal.
Emotionality and Fugazi, and that's why I absolutely don't want to exclude the word emo from this album; an album that might surprise me multiple times.
A Hardcore tormented by a pure pop sensibility. DE-LINK
