Hugo Race & Michelangelo Russo – Album Launch + Hungry Ghosts (J.P. Shilo & Tim Howden)
Hugo Race (Dirtmusic, Fatalists, ex-Bad Seeds) and Michelangelo Russo (True Spirit), fuse rock, blues, ambient and electronic sounds on their raw, compelling new album “100 Years”.
In 2017, the duo released John Lee Hooker’s World Today (Glitterhouse/Gusstaff Records), a tribute to the blues legend’s delta blues legacy reinvented in a swirling mix of analog grit and deep trance pulses.
100 Years showcases the duo’s sonic chemistry against Race’s stark songwriting. Inspired by the raw majesty of early blues recordings, the album was recorded in two days in a non-stop live session. Amplified harmonica, open-tuned guitars, smoky vocals and primal foot beat walk us through a landscape of dreamlike
devastation, a hypnotic wall of sound suspended in time and space celebrating endurance and redemption, hand-made from ancient roots. Supporting on the night are Hungry Ghosts – J.P. Shilo & Tim Howden.
