"Loops and Introspection" would be a more descriptive alias for Italian-born, London-based Alessio Natalizia, who records as Banjo or Freakout , but I guess it wouldn't have quite the same ring. Banjo or Freakout's dreamy rendition of Burial 's Untrue standout " Archangel " is only the latest in an impressive, enigmatic series of covers posted in the past year or so on Natalizia's blog , including songs by Pavement, Battles, [...]

Mientras el misterioso William Bevan, mejor conocido como Burial, prepara el nuevo material que anunció hace algunos meses en su MySpace -luego del auge generado por aquello de su nominación al Mercury Prize-, Alessio Natalizia por su parte, a manera de juego y con la misma aventurada forma (experim...

While we anxiously await that promised new material from Burial , this will do just fine: the great Pinglewood posted this mournful, eerily affecting cover of Burial's " Archangel ," by London's Alessio Natalizia , aka Banjo or Freakout . Highly recommended: mp3: banjo or freakout :: archangel (burial cover)
Burial, the formerly enigmatic dubstep producer, may soon join the illustrious ranks of M People, Gomez and Miss Dynamite, by winning the Mercury Music Prize. But even if tonight does not secure him their spoiled spoils, today brings it's own reward in this sublime Banjo Or Freakout cover of Archangel. We'll be speaking to Mr Banjo AKA Alessio Natalizia later this week, but for now revel in this haunted paean to metropolitan pain, first unearthed at the wonderful NPIP.

Let our powers combine.....GO PLANET! Wait, wait. That's Captain Planet. This post is about everyone's favourite Italians Banjo Or Freakout and A Classic Education combining. Sort of. Alessio "Banjo Or Freakout" Natalizia should be well known to any long term Keep Hope Inside readers, having appeared on [ podcast#7 ] and in his own dedicated post [ here ]. His debut single 'Mr No' was meant to be coming out this month on No Pain In Pop but it seems to have been postponed. A Classic [...]

A Classic Freakout Banjo Or Freakout , il progetto solista di Alessio Natalizia dei Disco Drive , sta collezionando una mirabolante serie di cover, tutte scaricabili dal suo sito. Suoni spesso abbastanza sperimentali e spettrali, un po' dalle parti di TV On The Radio per intenderci, che in questo caso si applicano a una canzone a cui questo blog è parecchio affezionato: Stay, Son degli A Classic Education >>>(mp3): Banjo Or Freakout - Stay, Son - epic [...]
Banjo or Freakout has been keeping busy. Earlier this year Alessio knocked out a sweet cover by the New Puritans and now he's created another version of Mrs. Winehouse's hit, 'Back To Black'. Banjo Or Freakout or 'BoF' as I like to him, twists the song into his own artistic vision in this rendition, [...]

A polaroid for Christmas La mattina del 13 dicembre, le ragazze scandinave indossano vesti candide e una corona di candele accese. L'oscurità della notte di Santa Lucia, che secondo il Calendario Giuliano era la notte più lunga dell'anno, è ormai alle spalle e la luce può ritornare. Ci si scambia doni, si preparano dolci tradizionali, si canta in coro e prende il via il periodo delle festività. Quest'anno anche polaroid ha deciso di entrare subito nello spirito natalizio e di provare a farvi un piccolo regalo. Ho chiamato un [...]
