No Type → Claudia Bonarelli → May ’68

Description

Following a web release called Boredom is Counterrevolutionary (No Type), & a CD called Everything Happens Only a Certain Number of Times (Mitek, Sweden), both of which have received unanimous kudos from magazines & mailing lists, Claudia Bonarelli continues to astound us all with this new gem of a release.

Claudia Bonarelli is interested in the social evolution of our societies, & this is reflected in her choice of themes & song titles. But rather than illustrating the violence of change litterally, these four songs have a melancholy to them which says more about the lost illusions of a young society deprived of a voice.

Of course, that’s not saying anything about the irresistible, desperate funkiness to be found on these four exceptional tracks. But after all, funk (be it minimal) was never about anything but conflict…

This release comes on 120-gram clear 10" vinyl, what else…

Vinyl edition limited to 500 copies.

The side-project of a high-ranking member of a certain “experimental electronic" label from Canada? (Uh…) Or maybe a female avatar to the notorious anarchist, Luther Blissett? (Who?) Time may never tell, but you’ll get over it… → Full bio
