WARMER MIXTAPES #1641 | by Matteo Scarpa (The Transisters, Wora Wora Washington) and Antonio Angeli (Mary Goes To Vietnam) of Kill Your Boyfriend
SIDE A | by Matteo Scarpa
1. Suicide | Ghost Rider
This is one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands ever. Alan Vega and Martin Rev blend a chilling Synth-Punk environment with an Elvis-style Rock & Roll vocal, full of Delay and Reverb. This influenced the sound of Kill Your Boyfriend in various ways, and I really love it.
2. The Jesus And Mary Chain | You Trip Me Up
Two words: White Noise. It’s hard to pick a favorite track from The Jesus And Mary Chain’s Psychocandy… The album does something incredible for me. I remember the day when I first heard You Trip Me Up, and it was the song’s enthusiasm mixed with astonishment that hit me. It changed my conception of Making Music. Amazing!
3. Joy Division | Something Must Break
I became a Joy Division fan at a young age, and this is one of my favorite songs. The constant gait of the bass, the Power and Depth of the Sound, the Anger that pervades the song… How can you not love it?
4. The Velvet Underground & Nico | European Son
Kill Your Boyfriend wouldn’t be who we are without The Velvet Underground. I can't imagine our Music without their influence. Their sound and attitude -- a mix of Punk, Noise and Rock & Roll -- is something really special.
5. Dirty Beaches | Casino Lisbona
I’m really impressed by Alex Zhang Hungtai, aka Dirty Beaches. I fell in love with his Music via his previous album, Badlands, but my love grew deeper when I heard Drifters/Love Is The Devil. The entire album is totally hypnotic, full of these Lo-Fi loops that seem to never end.
6. Father Murphy | You Got Worry
I know the members of Father Murphy very well. They are from our hometown, Treviso. This song is taken from the album No Room For The Weak, and for me it's a turning point for their compositional skill. From there, they were introduced into an apocalyptic, Psychedelic, Neo-Folk atmosphere, full of Emptiness, where the raw vocals of frontman Federico Zanatta and vocalist/percussionist Chiara Lee emerge from The Abyss. Marvellous!
7. Holiday Inn | The Destruction We Assure Each Other (Recorded on Marantz 2-tracks in October 2013 at Forte Fanfulla, Rome, Italy)
Holiday Inn is a great Roman band. I saw them in a concert two years ago and from that day I started to follow them. Their Minimal Acid Synth-Punk is something gorgeous. I think this track expresses all their insanity. Check them out if they play in your town. Their show will kill you.
8. Wora Wora Washington | Sem
OK, this song is from my heart. I was a member of this band once, but now they are just two members, Marco and Giorgio. This track is taken from their 2016 album Mirror. I like their new Dark-Electronic sound, and the epic vocal in this song is incredible. I can't explain how much I learned from them in my own use of synths and drum machine.
9. King Dude | My Mother Was The Moon (with Emily Denton)
I really love the lonely feeling that this album, Burning Daylight, conveys. This song, the live version with Chelsea Wolfe’s voice especially, touches me deeply.
10. The Beatles | Tomorrow Never Knows
This song reminds me of my childhood. I remember that, when I discovered this song, I spent days listening to it. I was fascinated by such an Experimental song.
SIDE B | by Antonio Angeli
1. The Velvet Underground & Nico | Venus In Furs
If The Velvet Underground didn't exist, my life, and my Musical Attitude, would make less sense.
2. Sonic Youth | Schizophrenia
I don’t think there’s a bad album in Sonic Youth’s discography. My choice of this song is just because my life is a little bit schizophrenic.
3. Nirvana | All Apologies
In Utero made me grow up. Nirvana made me grow up, and made my drumming grow up.
4. His Electro Blue Voice | Spit Dirt
Obsession... How I love it in Music! This song is a lesson in Hypnosis.
5. Lou Reed | The Bed
If I could, I would choose every song on Berlin. It’s one of my favorite albums ever.
6. BLUE CRIME | Machinery
I remember first time BLUE CRIME and Kill Your Boyfriend played together in Berlin: as soon as their set began, I fell in love with them.
7. New Candys | Dark Love
New Candys put this song on a split album with us in 2015. I’ve replayed it over and over since then.
8. Movie Star Junkies | These Woods Have Ears
I saw them playing live about four years ago and, after the awesome gig, I had to buy their LP Son Of The Dust.
9. CCCP - Fedeli Alla Linea | Io Sto Bene
CCCP is an Italian Punk band I really loved as a teenager.
10. The Beatles | Across The Universe
What can I say? I've been listening to The Beatles all my life. Theirs is The Ultimate Music.
