Hate Moss

Plus special guests Mali Bone + Lelia

A duo that persistently — and almost deliberately — evades any convenient label. Perhaps it is precisely in this joyful unclassifiability that one of the project’s most original traits resides.

In their fertile wandering through seemingly distant sonic landscapes, one can glimpse the shadow of Italian and Brazilian singer-songwriters from the 1960s and 70s, with their ability to blend personal and social commentary — unexpectedly merging with the lysergic visions of the rave and trip-hop scenes.

There are also abrasive traces of a certain industrial sound. Closing an ideal circle, one can sense a subterranean dialogue with that fringe of the contemporary Mediterranean alternative scene which, in recent years, has reinvented tradition.
