Premiere: Femminielli – Estados Alterados.

February 24, 2011, 1 comments

Seriously stoked about the upcoming cassette by Montréal’s most exciting minimal synth wizard Bernadino Femminielli – evoking dark fantasies already in its title, Carte Blanche aux Désirs is a trip into the most forbidden pleasures of your inner self, amazingly exemplified by Estados Alterados, the first track to surface prior to the tape’s release: starting with Femminielli reciting words of purest eroticism over a simple, upbeat drum machine pattern and sparse analog synth lines, the song reaches almost classic chanson-like quality when the artist finally aspirates “te quiero” and falls into that kind of careless crooning championed by Gainsbourg or Bécaud in the heydays of Paris (though it’s not French here), in combination with the underlying minimal wave essentially leading to an almost transcendent listening experience. Utmost perfection.

Carte Blanche aux Désirs will be released March 6 on Los Discos Enfantasmes.
