Banjo or Freakout? There comes a point in everyone's lives where they must ask themselves this question. 'Mr. No'/'Someone Great' is a 7" featuring a nicely relaxed and floaty bit of indie on the A-side, maybe in the style of a more distinguishable Animal Collective whose new album YOU ALL MUST BUY, with its echoey vocals and electronically manipulated acoustic niceness it places you on a raft made of clouds and gently pushes you down the toxic waste-polluted stream of your mind. 'Someone Great' is and LCD Soundsystem cover, not that you'd guess it you weren't familiar with the original because the bloke behind this release has turned it into something all his own. Phil reckons he sounds like Ian Brown but he doesn't. Phil just thinks he's the king of reviews because he had a whole update to himself last week, the megalomaniac.

What their label says...

Banjo or Freakout is Alessio Natalizia. An Italian in London, Alessio began conjuring his noise from the depths of his bedroom to thwart the loneliness lurking in the din of a new city. He sings, plays guitar, drums and programs beats, and then drenches them all in effects to create an affecting lo-fi dreamy pop As well as his soaring originals, Alessio covers his favourite songs and posts them on his blog (banjoorfreakout.blogspot.com). Perhaps most notably, his version of Burial’s ‘Archangel’ attracted universal critical acclaim on both sides of the Pacific, print and blog. This, his double A-side debut, includes one of his earliest tracks- ‘Mr No’- and his DFA-approved cover of LCD Soundsystem’s ‘Someone Great’. Easy reference points- Arthur Russell, Jay Dilla and anything that's ever vibrated, capturing the busy dreams of lost spectres in an endless, ascending loop.
