Search - My Cat Is an Alien :: Leave Me in the Black No-Thing

"Italy's My Cat is an Alien is the finest two-brother band from Italy since the end of the Great War. Their sounds move through the air the way that a tub of fine Roman butter moves through a circus ape." - Byron Coley & Thurston Moore (Arthur) Leave Me in the Black No-Thing is the new full-length album recorded April 10, 2006 at MCIAA's Alien Zone, located in a remote region of the Western Alps. The work consists of two tracks with a total length of 56:15 minutes. If, as many of the international critics have been remarking, MCIAA's works live on the boundary between light and darkness, it's also true that Cosmic Light of the Third Millennium celebrated the light of the outer spaces as well as Leave Me in the Black No-Thing represents a jump into the nothing of empty inner spaces. Recorded during the trespassing from dusk to the beginning of the night, the work lives of the same dark magic of Wagnerian post-romantic overtures, suspended between the deepest silence and the most deflagrating sonic attack. After the cacophonic and free implosion of the nucleus of the initial thirty minutes comes twenty-five minutes of painful silence, sounding like the last whisper before the final end: angel choruses and ectoplasmic presences float on Maurizio Opalio's crystal-clear guitar strings. It's the Cosmic Blues of the III Millennium, which penetrates into the soul, leaving indelible signs.
