eat-girls - Area Silenzio LP
Groove-y Post-Punk electronics and actual great songs. Inspiration from that seemingly endless well: Malaria!, The Modern Art, early Cure, early Cocteau Twins, Sonic Youth. A must for fans of Knekelhuis and South of North etc. labels, and a range of contemporary groups from Factory Floor and Devon Rexi to great area and bar italia.
Area Silenzio is eat-girls' debut record and it is both haunted and haunting. For the past four years, the French trio have been crafting their songs into little self-contained worlds with the patience of entomologists, taking them out all over the country and Europe to confront them with the wilderness of a live audience. The ten resulting tracks are a collection of electronic madrigals, groove-driven songs played on a mischievous multi-speed Victrola, ranging from languid dub drips to full-on drum machine cavalcades.
