Le Scimmie Go Under the Knife (Sort Of)
Think of this as half of an On the Radar post. Italian noise rock duo Le Scimmie (which translates according to the internets to “The Ape” or “The Monkey” — i.e. “simian”) released their album Dromomania toward the end of last year and made a video for the title track. I’m not quite sure what’s happening in the clip, but it seems to involve guitarist Angelo Xunah Mirolli and drummer Mario Serrecchia being chased by a knife-wielding man in a horse mask, who then undergoes some kind of spiritual slow-motion freakout dance and apparently decides to pursue another line of work. Interesting stuff.
Check out Le Scimmie on il Facebook here. Enjoy the video.
