*2022 stock. Limited edition of 300 copies.* And I ask my lovers "Do you know where the Desert Roses bloom and grow?". Following the disband of Black Sun Productions in 2012, Massimo & Pierce released their first album as Anarcocks.
Exposing the fictional character of teenage Johnny as he joins the underground revolutionary army of the Wild Boys, Desert Rose is the first installation in a trilogy called europArabia.
An aural investigating of the intertwine between west and east, north and south, militance and desire. The original lyrics in Italian were written by Massimo Villani over a period of twenty years. Pierce created the two parts cinematic cut-up and fond-in soundscape drowning inspiration from Bedouin chants, Marrakech porn and the epical soundtracks of Middle Eastern vintage films.
Massimo & Pierce are and was also well known for being part of the Coil collective especially during their live shows.
