Cosmo Vitelli - Medhead (2022)

"Medhead" is Cosmo Vitelli’s third solo album. Featuring eight cuts, five of them being recorded in collaboration with Truus de Groot, lead singer of Dutch new/no-wave outfit Plus Instruments, ‘Medhead’ is a statement to the power of electronic language as a summoner of deep-laid, recursive narratives. Emancipated from normative restraints and nonsensical branding, the album spans everything from slo-drip kraut to wasted disco, through murky motel-pop, neo-kosmische, hip-hop, industrial and, quite obviously, a healthy dose of reconfigured indie-rock motifs. A gravity-defying ode to the weirdness of being, Cosmo Vitelli’s new album bridges gaps and reexamines our reality, which seems so prone to enslave itself to rupture and disjunction. Let that organised chaos take over your senses and cast off to a world of untamed, eerie wonders.
