Rella The Woodcutter

From the initial sonic assault of “Apocryphal” to the final “Wrong Affection”, the five tracks guide the listener through shades of early nineties electric blues (think Palace, Songs:Ohia and fellows), sixties psichedelia flavoured from the spirit of Skip Spence. Rella's singing is rich, intense and perfumed, sometimes plunged into deep trance, like in “Are You Expired?” or “Wrong Affection” where instruments and voice rise together in a psichedelic unison building from a country-like opening. Rella demonstrates he can manage nude guitar&voice songs, like in “Coward” where he accompany himself just with acoustic guitar fingerpicking and also skeletal electric blues like “Bodies” which transfigurates in a noisy orgy of percussions and violin. Recorded at home with the help of the aforementioned friends, this EP is the prelude of a forthcoming album which is part of the vynil trilogy started with the self released “Nihilist Shack”.
