RELEASE DATE

As earlier compilations of "danza meccanica" have made clear, Italy gave birth to a disproportionate number of synthpop, new wave, and electronic acts in the 1980s. Mannequin goes deeper into the Italian new wave with a killer ten-track selection of
Carmody
. Taking their name from Robert Sheckley's 1968 science fiction novel
Dimension of Miracles
, Carmody came from Torino, alongside contemporaries
Monuments
and
Chromagain
. They began as the duo of
Alberto Ramella
and
Andrea Lesmo
before expanding to a trio, with
Max Casacci
on guitar. They recorded from 1981 to 1985 and issued three incredibly rare demo tapes.
Sleep on Mirrors
compiles the best tracks from those tapes, highlighting some of the most peculiar minimal synth music to come out of Italy in the 1980s. Mastered by
Rude 66
. Graphic design by
Alessandro Adriani
. Edition of 400.
