After celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of their first album with a 10” titled ‘Universi e Transparenze’ two years ago, the Turin combo is taking on a brand new album that shows how their artistic flair is lusher than ever. Here are the words of Federico Guglielmi to describe the new effort of the No Strange. The album is printed in vinyl format only with CD attached, including their recent book 'No Strange e Sogni Correlati’ in digital version as well as the download card.
"It might be trivial, but No Strange is the right substance to take for a great trip without enduring any side effects ... except for being forced to ask for a loan to buy their first records, if unfortunately one doesn’t own them already. Luckily I have been following them since the days of their debut cassette, back in 1983, so this is not my case, and I can therefore continue to be intrigued and enchanted undisturbed by their impetuous musical traits; traits that, although not disdaining the melodies, leave them free to hover in a Milky Way of ethno-psychedelia, folk and avant-garde. The place from which Salvatore, Alberto and all the friends who worked with them over the years have fallen on Earth is pretty strange indeed, and it’s full of stimuli that are not just sound-related: No Strange make music for your ears, of course, but their songs also emit stroboscopic polychromes and exhale spices and incense. Beyond the specific traits of each of their creations, they have always been this way and we can assume they will be like this forever; therefore, it is a bit annoying to think that the fifteen years of the freezing of the project have deprived us of god knows what other magic.
No exception is ‘Il sentiero delle tartarughe’, whose title is immediately evocative, with a cover that, as a consolidated script, reveals the visionary, artisanal, alienated, dreamlike, celestial-tenebrous, sacred, profane and totally unattractive attitude of the band. With regard to our "rock" panorama (in quotation marks!), these "guys" remain a precious asset, to be placed on the shelf of cults; right in the middle, as in alphabetical order, between the "L" of ‘Le Stelle’ by Mario Schifano and the "R" of Claudio Rocchi.”

Area Pirata was born in 2001 immediately tended to Garage, R'n'R, HC-Punk…
We care about reissue of old records no
more available or unissued as well as new records recorded from bands on activities with an attitude alike ours.
We tought and we still think that our attitude and determination could be a factor to help those real underground scenes not depending strictly on the kind of muisc!...more

Oh how I long for this album in vinyl format! Such smoothness. Such warmth. Such execution. This music begs to be taken along and woven into memories. Everyone I’ve shared this album with has loved it. The music speaks far and wide. Shouting out to a fellow follower, Brian Lehmann, for his excellent taste in music. If not for him, I likely would have never stumbled upon this absolute gem! Plinchmo Larduktin
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
