Before this album came out earlier this summer, I mentally picked the songs that I thought made sense as the singles, and so far I’ve been on point.
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 heart of the track into something satisfyingly vast. Shimmering with Katana guitar and evaporating horizons of fuzz, this Banjo Or Freakout version recalls a ton of bands and none all at once; too pop to be considered noise, really, but too noisy not to be compared to the sound of blowing brains.
