Strangelove’s latest release turns left somewhere near the edge of the Atlantic, with "Electricidade Estética” documenting a vibrant window into the musical landscape of 1980’s counter-culture Portugal.
Compiling early un-issued works, DWART’s organic Ash-Ra balearics meld with spikey Iberian electronics, coalescing around the floating beauty of ‘Mate’, a highlight of Electricidade Estética, reissued for the first time on vinyl.
With emergent music technologies of the era enthusiastically adopted by Lisbon’s avante-garde, there was a collective desire by DWART and their contemporaries to push sonic boundaries.
Post new wave sounds melded with distinctive local sensibilities. Vítor Rua & Jorge Lima Barreto of the legendary Telectu (whom Antoñio currently tours with) were regular collaborators while composer and guitarist Nuno Rebelo and guitarist/singer Bernardo Devlin feature on several songs.
Antoñio & Manuela Duarte’s search for an artistic language melded a continuing curiosity with aural and physical dualities: experimental pop integrated with performance art, mathematics sound-tracked on canvas, organic found sounds at ease alongside synthetic drum machines.
Extremely limited test pressing with custom one off artwork by Manuela Duarte, no two covers the same!
