Cambrian Release Mobular on Taxi Driver Records

It does not take long to understand why Italian trio Cambrian hit such a mark with their debut full-length Mobular, upon releasing it digitally last year. Their weighted tones arrive offset by a sense of psychedelic drift. They claim it as a Hawaiian influence, and you can hear that in the tracks — though I think if they had said desert instead of island, they’d have a pretty good claim there too. I guess the underlying point is: sandy psych. Maybe the heavy parts are the crashing waves.

Mobular, which you can stream of course in its entirety at the bottom of this post, has been newly issued as a limited CD digipak by Taxi Driver Records. The numbers are few, the editions are special, and the details are below, as swiped from the PR wire.

“MOBULAR” by CAMBRIAN, CD release

Taxi Driver Records announced the digital release (Spotify, Itunes and all other main digital platforms) of Mobular, debut album by Cambrian in Summer 2017.

We’ve just released the CD version, in February 2018, limited to 300 digipak copies. First 50 are hand-numbered and come with screenprinted o-card and patch.

Cambrian is an Italian “supergroup” formed by Boggio Nattero (Carcharodon) at Lap-steel guitar, Electric guitar and Vox, Fabio Cuomo (solo project, Eremite, Mope) at Drums and Piano, Stefano Parodi (Vanessa Van Basten, Mope, Dead Esther) at Bass guitar. They play “Relaxing Hawaiian Sludge Doom in the key of C”.

A surreal and alienating combination of very slow Hawaiian lap-steel scores and elephantine sludge/doom riffs with compelling blues shades. It’s as if Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath were jamming with Earth and Sleep on a Hawaiian beach at sunset.

In 2015 Boggio Nattero started experimenting his riffs, which sounded between a relaxing Caribbean movie soundtrack and evil doom sonorities. As Fabio Cuomo listened to these home recordings, he immediately decided to go jamming in the rehearsal room with Boggio. He also involved doomster Stefano Parodi, who already shared with him many music projects.Tracks were finally recorded in total relax, mixed & mastered by Emi Cioncoloni at El Fish Recording Studio (Genova, Italy) in July 2016, Summer of Doom.
