HEROIN IN TAHITI – ‘DEATH SURF’ LP
A duo from Rome, Italy, Heroin In Tahiti is composed by Valerio Mattioli (AAVV Videos, Thetlvmth) and Francesco De Figuereido (Opium Child), both hailing from the so named Borgata Boredom scene, a sort of local community based in Roma Est (East Rome), the crumbling and deteriorated neighborhoods which were already immortalized by Pasolini and Neorealist Cinema (think of Pasolini, De Sica, Visconti etc). The duo plays a variety of cheap guitars, analog synths, drum machines and pedals, achieving a dirtiness which is tragically lo-fi and out-of-time at the same time: a Spaghetti Wasteland , as they call it. Think of drinking a frozen Daiquiri on a solitary beach while watching a poorly tuned TV broadcasting loops of If You Meet Sartana Pray for Your Death , while Mururoa tests are happening at the horizon. If this was the soundtrack of the end, it couldn’ t be more doped. LISTEN
