Whistling Heads
Dull Boy (red)
Debut album from Italian sensation Whistling Head, quite a surprise in the british post-punk egemony. Teenage Cliche
fast, fresh and edgy, brisk and dodgy, quivers like a carefree kid sneaking around responsibilities, just two minutes
that stick like gum under the counter, as short and insatiable as the interval you wish would never end....
The graceful song form represents in a brio that pure sense of evaporating idealism, a track you could listen to the
point of exasperation because of its potential structure and the leisurely moments it offers while never concealing that
veil of restlessness, disorder and dissatisfaction. Shoot Shoot. Work, eat, sleep, repeat.All work and no play, I'm a
dull boy, I'm a dull boy. Shoot Shoot is a modern-day Greek tragedy, versifying their conception of the modern horror of
routine, homologation and bewilderment, letting out, in a liberating spurt, all the accumulated irritation. The song's
verse is held up by a crushing, gloomy and repetitive rhythm section accompanied by a guitar as distorted and sharp as a
litany scratching at your brain. The track moves between more noise sounds close to the explosive emotionality of
Unwound. A cathartic experience emerges from the sum of alienating, annihilating verses and explosive, angry refrains.
Peaceful Warning shows the softer, more vulnerable, but still biting and dynamic side. Alternating between noisy
phrasing and melodic refrains, Peaceful Warning sounds like a call to be oneself and to never change, despite the
mutability of everything around us.
