Bobby Joe Long's Friendship Party - Aoh! (2022) Hi-Res

Bobby Joe Long's Friendship Party, the new album "AOH!" between Pasolini and the Smiths.
Bobby Joe Long's Friendship Party, also known as Oscura Combo Romana, is a drama-synth-coatto-wave band from East Rome, born within an artistic movement called 03:33, with the intention of proposing contents through a language direct (forced) and to experiment with sounds by drawing on a wide range of styles that fluctuate between dark-wave and synth-pop.

Nine visionary tracks where Henry Bowers' sung (almost recited) leads the listener on a journey that passes from the Roman folk song to Laura Palmer, from the didactic narrative of the national chronicle of the time and fashions to a portrait of D'Annunzio . Between urban poetry and futurist experimentation, "AOH!" collects and elaborates concepts and atmospheres of the 1980s, integrating the "forced" neorealist component into the artistic concept which is elevated to a literary element of identity. Joydivisionian guitars and drum machines of the best Depeche Mode meet the pathos of vocal lines that evoke surreal and plausible scenarios, including rubbery synths, sax and scratch.
