BANJO OR FREAKOUT

Banjo Or Freakout is the brainchild of 28-year-old Alessio Natalizia from Turin, although now he resides in London. My friend told me that he used to be in a post-punk band called Disco Drive who are ridiculously popular in Italy, but he jacked it all in when he discovered how to play around with found sound on his girlfriend’s laptop one night and decided it was much more fulfilling sounding like the natural midpoint between Arthur Russell, Animal Collective and High Places and supporting bands like No Age and Atlas Sound - a no brainer really when you look at like that.
