Alo Girl — The Autoerotic Odyssey

‘The Autoerotic Odyssey’ offers up two five minute sides of tape of creative & crunching HNW matter from the excellent & always rewarding Alo Girl project which is  Italian  based Cristiano Renzoni; who also the other half of Richard  An Innocent Young Throat-Cutter & runner of the great Urashima label. The only down side about the whole thing is it’s over far too quickly!.

On side one we have a track entitled ‘Opening: First Perversion’ which finds Renzoni offering up this thick & jittering wall of textural crunching noise which he cleverly weaves with this distant harmonic like car horn beeping textures which keeps appearing at the edge of the track. It  makes the  track sound rather haunted, melodic yet strangely pleaseing in it’s distant almost nostalgic beeping & harmonic muffled bobbing. Onto Side two & we find the track ‘Sodomy’ which at first slides in like a knife with a high  pitched harmonic & ringing slicing motion before quirky turning to very tight jittering static loops of barbwire like  tone which Renzoni nicely winds round your head in an addictive & urgent manner.

The tapes topped off with very classy & professional looking black art  card cover that utilizes silver & purple metallic screen printing inks for the texts & female face cover. Another great release from the always worthwhile Alo Girl project that puts its own distinctive & highly enjoyable twist on the HNW genre.
