Disturbios

Disturbios was formed by the art rock and roll power duo Rocio and Matt Verta-Ray to try to quench their insatiable thirst for all things analog, electronic, minimalist, dada and electrifying. Rocio, who comes from the worlds of film and philosophy, cut her teeth playing Farfisa organ in Spanish surf bands, completing the buzzing short circuit between primordial ibero-arab melodies and twanging, sizzling Jimmy Smith riffs by-way-of the Ventures and Marcel Proust. Her haunting intimate singing style sneaks into the brain just behind the pre-frontal cortex, calling up inarticulate memories from generations still untouched by shame or convention. Matt has been slinging six string hash in such groundbreaking outfits as Madder Rose, Speedball Baby and Heavy Trash, riding the underground zeitgeist like an electrobilly monorail since the New York '80s. Haunting, jagged riffs channeled directly from a deep vein of Sun Records and Link Wray, slice the music open to reveal one part backwoods Canadian savant, one part jaded big city huckster, all folded into a techno nightclub nightmare. Now with Disturbios, Rocio and Matt Verta-Ray have animated the bones of the perfect electro dream punk Golem, making her dance in the eerie light of overheated radio tubes, glowing absinthe and crackling meat on the fire. Disturbios will take the listener on a wild ride into the greasy depths of the human psyche that will leave her breathless, exhilarated and dying to blast the record out into the air again, again and once again!
