FORTUNATO DURUTTI MARINETTI, JAKE ACOSTA, ERIK KRAMER, DEAD BANDIT

FORTUNATO DURUTTI MARINETTI “Colussi remains draped grandeur. He carries the songs with the aforementioned swagger and confidence, like Hazelwood or Gainsbourg if they were sifting through Business of Dreams singles.” – Raven Sings The Blues “Colussi’s languid voice is always placed at the forefront of his meticulous arrangements, providing the narration for a sound he describes as “poetic jazz rock.”” – Aquarium Drunkard “If Destroyer produced a Spandau Ballet album (and also joined the band), you might expect a track like "Clerk of Oblivion." The Toronto-via Turin songwriter's latest simmers like an undulating tropical sunset while layering on an existential dread that spans beyond our corporeal forms.” – The Fader JAKE ACOSTA “For more than a decade, Chicago multi-instrumentalist and engineer Jake Acosta has been a key player in a loose federation of subversive musicians.” – Chicago Reader “Acosta’s deeply creative and humbly encouraging ethos has found him in the orbit of some of the best working songwriters and musicians in the city.” – Post-Trash “His engrossing six-string landscapes submerge you gradually, as though you’re acclimating your body to a pool by walking toward the deep end inch by inch. Acosta makes wild melodic twists and turns, but he does it gingerly enough that you can luxuriate in them—and the carefulness of his playing doesn’t let his energy leak away.” – Chicago Reader “A member of Chicago-based indie electronica outfit Famous Laughs for over a decade and The Raging Hormones before that, producer and multi-instrumentalist Jake Acosta presents a solo album titled ‘Rehearsal Park’. Consisting of two elongated pieces that last around twenty minutes each, Acosta’s immersive guitar and synth soundscapes recall a more rudderless Neu! or Can.” – Norman Records ERIK KRAMER “Erik Kramer combines the grooves of middle America storytelling with the discombobulating decay of our current society” – Tiny Mix Tapes “Wistful meta-folk from the American Midwest. The happy / sad feeling is one of communion and earnest enjoyment. Subtly augmented field-recordings and crusty tape samples” – All Night Flight RIYL: a big prairie, central and eastern european cuisine, clicking around on wikipedia, Wisconsin, looking at pictures of mythic creatures, Gary Snyder, the smell when the radiators kick on for the first time, going Up North, Chicago bungalows, walking around DEAD BANDIT “Dead Bandit make music that travels up the phone lines like a veil of smoke.” Sun-13 “Dead Bandit consistently find new ways to combine hushed and haunted late-night melancholy with neon-soaked sensuousness, deadpan cool, and dreampop shimmer.” – Brainwashed “In Dead Bandit, Swan and Schimpl’s artistic vision casts its gaze outwards on a vast expanse, where the distortion has space to stretch its legs and the drums pound out into open space.” – Quindi
