SUPERFETAZIONE

Superfetazione is the second solo release from Roma based artist Mushy. This last opus (next to various collaborations with Peter M and for compilations) carries on the musical path opened in her previous efforts. Consequently Superfetazione features Theatrical-isolationist- cinematic soundscapes for haunted voices, field recordings and electro loops. In this long blackened ambient escaping, Mushy explores the dynamic-plastic possibilities of neurotic- echoing hall of sounds. The first track opens the album with a blasting industrial noise symphony. With the exception of the infernal "heinz Cibulka" and the atonal "per un'ultima volta", the rest of the album offers a wide range of cinematic ambiences, featuring serious buzzing meditative waves (in the magnificant "Dietro l'innocenza"), spooky electro oscillations (in the claustraophobic "ultimate ratio"), entrancing like atmospheres (in the mystical static "ansiarmonia"). The album closes the musical voyage with a tranquil microtonal dronescape ("my dear") To sum up things, Superfetazione is a pretty relevant mix of moods and timbral atmospheres. Way recommended and essential for those who are into frenzy doomdrones (Stephen Parsick..) and death industrialism (Atrax Morgue...).

Superfetazione is one of those electro-acoustic albums that seems haunted at its core, and it isn't a bad thing. This music is primarily dark, epic, abstract drones that work as a canvas for eerie field recordings. I've always loved field recording-based music because it gives the music a very earthy and organic feel - something to connect with on a slightly more comfortable level which allows the mind to really interact with the sounds. Mushy's music tends to be very black-and-white in sound due to its bleak abstractness, almost sounding like a soundtrack to some of the darkest film noir. A mental painting that I experience while listening to Superfetazione is that of an abandoned mental hospital, because some of the music does take on a ghostly schizophrenic kind of emotional stance. Something I particularly like about this album is how full the sound is, which is something that is surprisingly lacking on most electro-acoustic type albums. Recommended for fans of Peter M., Lustmord, Matteo Uggeri, and Lydhode.
