Claviceps Purpurea

Description

Gil.Barte makes his entrance on Teenage Menopause with a long format characterized by formal rigor and psychedelic splendor. In contrast to the funeral explorations and musical trances developed previously on various labels such as Neubau, Big Science Records, Homemade Soundsystem, or his own label Meth.O.Tapes, this aptly named "Claviceps Purpurea" takes the form of a living botanical treatise where each entry plunges into a universal magical kaleidoscope. With a rhythmic concern that differs from his previous releases, Gil.Barte sketches the steps of a tornado dance drawing from the roots of Western witchcraft and its occult, bringing together on one side feats that would perfectly fit in a club for the boldest and feverish moments of waking dreams on the other. Claviceps Purpurea enchants, Cordyceps possesses, two sides of the same coin destined to loop in the mind of the one who never sleeps.
