Alarm

Two guys from Italy got together in Florence to make some noise that, on the first hear, might remind you of your worn copies of the earliest BLACK LIPS albums. A careful listen reveals a lot happening that makes these recordings stand out: blown out guitar string drag, gatling gun drums, and... fingersnaps? Or are those hand-claps? Or knee slaps? Take whatever it is, funnel it all into a wind tunnel, with an eerie air horn blaring from above, Luca & Fabio howling from below, and guitars jangling through to the end, and you get two slovenly tracks by THE DIRTIEST. Mastered in Athens by Nikos Lavdas.
