Fausto Rossi is a darkling thrush drunk in the second person. More beautiful music from Italy. Is this grunge? Drums beat heavily, vocals rasp romanticisms, and the bass, lowlowlow. With music that rolls over itself like it walks from the drowning sun, Faust'o's sound is the emotive force I dig in music.
The blog Tuning Maze 3.0 says, "...cantato non-modulato ultra-monocorde, linee di basso gelate con 2-3 note al massimo, batteria ancorata allo stesso ritmo spezzato ed ipnotico."
Okay, so I don't know Italian, but it's easy to make out that Faust'o sings in a non-modulated, ultra monotonic style over cold bass lines that are 2-3 notes at max. And the drumming's broken and hypnotic.
The music's really really heavy, but how would I have known? I first heard Faust'o on the wrong speed. A 45 version of "Clouds over Thin Paper" floats around the internet. It has Baia/Cosmic written all over it. Hearing "Exhibition of Love" on its right speed, though, only made me want to screw the song, so I made a grunge-ified, steady, big beat remix to the awesome track.
You can download the album with the remix and "Clouds over Thin Paper (45Rpm)" here.
