One more for the collection. Just fantastic. I love the way they incorporate gorgeous stoned surfer guitar sections amidst their downright experimental works. This one's even got the birds on the beach thrown in for good measure.

This album is still the best example of the Italian underground experimental scene, as well as nailing the whole "Italian Occult Psychedelia" aesthetic. This has to be one of the most underrated albums of the 2010s. ALWAYSmusic

What happened to these guys? I just love this sound and aesthetic. Really niche, though. Surprisingly relaxing and accessible. I hope more people discover this band, as I can imagine many people enjoying this. ALWAYSmusic

This Roman experimental duo have been a favourite of mine for many years, putting out several dark yet highly listenable records. The best description of their sound is encapsulated in one of their titles "Death Surf", with their ocassional use of an almost pacific beach sound amid the darkness. These tracks, previously unissued, demonstrate extremely high release standards. BTW, the message at the start of "Bad Auspicia" is translated into English as "The Name Of This Poem Is Fuck Off".
