Track Of The Day: Marco Passerani & Orlando Occhio - Criticise (Peacefrog)

 


It’s the start of meteorological Summer, with pagan summer starting in three more weeks. Typically the sun has chosen to take a nap, but it’ll be up and at ‘em again I’m sure. Anyway, here’s an essential cover version of Alexander O’Neil’s classic, delivered in suitable deadpan style by Orlando Occhio. Of course, it wouldn’t be nearly so effective if the backing instrumental didn’t jar in all the right places. A great cover version that has more than its fair share of dissonance, all of which grinds the sonic gears in order to produce a wonderfully harmonious and emotive piece of uptempo chug.
