Ordem Micelial [LP]

Since emerging from Italy's underground over a decade ago, Ninos Du Brasil (Nicolò Fortuni and contemporary artist Nico Vascellari) have developed a potent sound that blends live batucada percussion, electronics, punk energy, and visceral vocals sung in an imagined language. Along the way, they've built a reputation for incredibly intense and unpredictable live performances.This fifth full-length follows ""Antro Pop"", released on Codalunga / Hospital Productions in 2021 in the middle of covid lockdowns with a canceled world tour leaving the world in wait. Out of that imposed hiatus ""Orden Micelial"" began to take shape. The trademark Niños du Brasil elements remain intact: frenetic drumming, ritualistic chants, and relentless percussive intensity, while exploring new sonic territory. Most notably on ""Innaya Som,"" the duo embrace a full-blown guitar-driven rock assault, revealing the hardcore roots that have always underwritten their music.Recorded and produced by longtime collaborator Rocco Rampino, the album achieves a veritable wall of sound-dense and overwhelming, yet retaining remarkable clarity and separation throughout.Part carnival rave, part punk freak-out, ""Orden Micelial"" finds Niños du Brasil expanding their mythology without losing any of the wild energy that has made them one of contemporary underground music's most distinctive acts.
