Banjo Or Freakout : Q&A
Alessio Natalizia is the man behind Banjo Or Freakout, a lo-fi tour-de-force of bedroom produced songs. He’s been making waves with a run of downloads and now a debut 7" single, which includes a DFA approved cover of LCD Soundsystem’s ‘Someone Great’. PS: Tell everyone a bit about yourself and what you’re up to. I’m Alessio. I’m Italian but have...

Banjo or Freakout
In the music video to Banjo or Freakout’s “Upside Down” an Indian, a football player, a guy in a chicken suit, an angel, a solider, a Playmate bunny, a man covered in blue paint, and the Grim Reaper are all seen running and jumping into the ocean in slow motion. It’s a striking sequence and the band’s music has a surreal, transcendental quality that fits those...

Bombay Bicycle Club - Dust on the Ground (Banjo Or Freakout Remix)
Alessio Natalizia’s world must be an endlessly rewarding place. His covers series eked new life from artists as diverse as Amy Winehouse and Burial and on the evidence of this the man seems able to listen to a fine but ultimately limited indie rock song and hear hidden galaxies, his take on Bombay Bicycle Club’s "Dust on the Ground" exploding the Big Music ambition at the...
EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Banjo or Freakout - Mr. No (Allez Allez Remix)
  London-based Alessio Natalizia has given up a lot of his own time to refresh other people’s tracks, so it’s good to hear someone repaying the favour. Well, perhaps ‘repaid’ is the wrong word - this is no samba-refit by Amy Winehouse and Thurston Moore isn’t here throat singing, but DJ duo Allez Allez are one of host of acts who’ve been brought in to...
