"Geography for the Leaving" Reviewed in Italian

By Marco Paolucci

ROLLERS/SPARKERS Geography For The Leaving Cd (Lazybird) elegantissima la confezione cartonata e gatefold approntata da Gavin Duvet per questo debutto a quattro tracce dei dublinesi Rollers/Sparkers, terzetto amniotico perduto su oceani di piccoli suoni. E se Quarrel è un sospiro tribale declamato sottovoce (Orb e Bill Laswell fumano tra le braci), Stick Shift (Red Light) inserisce loop a sei corde e circolari drones spaziali dai quali si evince la maturità già raggiunta dai nostri. Meglio ancora le oscurità esoteriche (tra Coil meno blasfemi e l'ambient irrorata d'elio) del lungo mantra druidico Smallfoot e del delicato contrappunto di Eye Wiper. Bravissimi. E son scintille.

 

"Geography for the Leaving" Reviewed in Italian & Translated into English

ROLLERS/SPARKERS Geography For The Leaving Cd (Lazybird) Classy packaging by Gavin Duvet presents this 4-track debut for Dublin-based Rollers/Sparkers, an amniotic, three-piece act lost in an ocean of small sounds. If Quarrel is a murmured, tribal sigh (Orb and Bill Laswell come to mind here), Stick Shift (Red Light) features 6-string loops and circular, spacey drones that indicate the maturity this band has already achieved. Even better are the esoteric obscurity (between a less blasphemous Coil and helium-charged ambient) of the long druidic mantra Smallfoot and of the delicate, bouncy Eye Wiper. Excellent. And it sparks.
