***NOW AVAILABLE ON VINYL!!! Wierd Records is proud to present the new album by STACCATO DU MALl, entitled Sin Destino. Freezing out the heat-seeking Miami scene with his cold minimal synth for the past decade, RAMIRO JEANCARLO (1/2 of the industrial outfit OPUS FINIS) offers up ten tracks of analogue darkness. Sung in both English and Spanish, the album is informed by Jeancarlo’s half Chilean, half Venezuelan background. Pervasive throughout the LP is an aura of dread and claustrophobia that without a doubt evokes the hot, dry, lonely landscape of suburban South Florida. But beyond the dismal swamplands, it's possible to detect the mournful ambiance of cultures plagued for centuries by colonization, civil war and political turmoil. Despite the disorienting feeling of so much of the album, Staccato's own coup d'état comes in the moments of resolution where warm melodies and nearly psychedelic soundscapes counter the bleakness.
