*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Daniele Ciullini dissects contemporary society's plastic facades with Cosmetics For Mannequins, eight tracks of manipulated field recordings, toy instruments, and automatic voices that expose the mechanization of human interaction. Recorded at home in 2020 and reworked in 2023, the album reads like a dystopian manual for modern existence.

Titles like "Work Addicted (No Personal Life)" and "Mass Loneliness" reveal Ciullini's sardonic perspective on digital-age alienation. Using turntables, tape decks, and radio noise as surgical tools, he constructs a sonic critique where "Boxed Sheeps" and "One Thought, One People" become anthems for algorithmic conformity. The result is both a mirror and a hammer, reflecting and shattering the cosmetic surface of contemporary life.
