Silent Animals (LIMITED COLOR VINYL) [Vinyl]

Silent Animals may be the debut album from Italian trio Crimen, but it arrives over a decade into their career. Simone Greco (bass, voice, sound engineering) and Patrizio Strippoli (guitars, voice) formed the band in Rome in 2007, before recruiting Giuseppe Trezza (drums and electronics) six years later. After a string of successful EPs, the band feel now is the time to release a full length. A heady cocktail of krautrock, psychedelia, noise rock and post-punk, the band has self-produced and engineered their debut in a state of total creative independence. The group says of their long-awaited debut: "Silent Animals talks about emotive fragility and wasted loves. It sounds nocturnal and psychotic, though essentially it's a work about love and the exorcism of fear and anxiety". An exorcism it certainly is, full of gnostic grooves and cathartic releases. The most forthright example of this is the first single from the album, Six Weeks'. Its hard rocker cloaked in reverb, feedback and throbbing electronics - sounding downright satanic as Simone bellows six-six-six as the song constantly veers on the verge of sub-atomic explosion.
