about

Reviews:

Blind Jesus by Andrew Leslie Hooker and Stefano Pilia debuts with a record that, according to this writer, is one of the best works of avant-rock heard recently: unravelled stuttering in the vein of Storm & Stress fall from crumbling gorges of tape loops, caracoling flights in the foreground interrupted with improvised retro-folk, wanton porno-concrète jokes arm-in-arm with strained ecstatic drones, followed by melancholic acoustic crackling, industrial creaking, soulful moans, obstacular Supreme Dicks style songs... The duo's language is to some extent recognizable "in the style of", but these five tracks improvised with tapes, guitar, samples and effects are sewn together and assembled with a rare sense of fantasy. (7/8)
Valerio Mattioli - BLOW-UP

This CD is concerned with with the blues, above all collecting and transmitting its essence, the music starting from a blues core and expanding towards marvelous suburbs. Tapes, samples, effects, concrete recordings and feedback, as well as piano, guitars and vocals interact in "Blind Jesus", the duo formed by Stefano Pilia and Andrew Leslie Hooker (a surname more 'blues' than this doesn't exist ). But it is certainly not for Hooker's surname, or even for the name of the project, that I write about a blues core. The fact is that the CD is impregnated with the flavors of black music par excellence, starting with the lyrics that are "... a free assemblage of old blues songs collected by Alan Lomax ...", although the whole expands in the direction of a sick and distorted psychedelia.
Vincenzo Deluce - Sands-Zine
