Ricarda Cometa & Dario Dubois Duo ~ DDDRC

A collaboration between the explosive, anti-musical Ricarda Cometa and the krautrock dronesters of the Dario Dubois Duo would sound like something not entirely logical. After all, the last RC album was noisy, dirty, and full of unexpected turns, while the

The Great Cold ~ S/T

The Great Cold’s self-titled debut expresses very well a sensitive kind of intensity, an oceanic emotional state that ebbs and flows into anger, sadness, and despair, but in so doing offers glimpses of hopefulness. If this kind of description seems
