Premiere: Femminielli / Araignée Split 7″.
May 10, 2011, 0 comments
The slick minimal synth work of Montréal resident Bernardino Femminielli is without doubt one of my favorite discoveries of 2011 so far, with his recent cassette Carte Blanche Aux Désirs, released in March via Los Discos Enfantasmes, probably being the most outstanding pure synth extravaganza I’ve come across in a very long time. In particular Estados Alterados, the tape’s lead-off track which we’d premiered back in February, is still on constant repeat with its upbeat vibes of ultimate seduction.
The two tracks on his new 7 inch which will drop soon via rad Montréal label Fixture Records are both more on the slow, almost ambient side of things while still managing to dip even deeper into the gloomy realms of sleazy late night erotica. Especially b-side Silvia, recorded under the Araignée moniker which essentially is Femminielli’s side project together with his producer and friend Dominic Vanchesteing, is a terrific trip into a world of forbidden fruits with some heavily mind-melting synth patterns and a slowly deluding drum machine beat.
Pre-order the 7 inch right now over here.
Update: We had accidentally posted the wrong Femminielli track. The one you could hear until now was not Chauffeur. Anyway, it’s fixed now. Apologies for any inconvenience.
