burp enterprise

Right there’s a new Burp Comic by Nicotina online, click on the panel and you will read it quickly and free. We still have problems in posting comix, but we are working on it. I really hope everything will be fixed fast. There’s a fat pile of comix ready to be published: a new short Piotko story by Nicotina, all in white black and green. A new number by myself for the Mental Cheese series. A couple of comix by Cecil and Vincenzo Fiore Marrese.
We are working for giving you that and more.
Ciao, Mat

Nicotina will join Barnacled for the release show of “Charles” out now on ESP.

Charles, Barnacled’s new full-length, and first outing for ESP-Disk’, is a rollicking, propulsive offering featuring the band in some of its most intricate formations. This deftly arranged record follows Barnacled as it tightens itself into high corners, only to purposely fall down, find new ground, and pick itself back up again. This work is highly playful, even at its most intense—and it does get intense, with saxophone battles surging over electronics and highly distorted accordion fire offerings. Then all of a sudden the sound drops out, save for a plaintive lone bassoon call, or static from a short-wave radio that sounds soothing by comparison. Intertwining rhythms and melody lines then revolve around a pulse that creates a new frame of reference while also complicating it. This music invites deep listening, and rewards the curious. Often it is simply mesmerizing—essentially what adventurous minds have come to expect from the legendary ESP-Disk’ oeuvre.

Frank Difficult: electronics/keyboard
Michael Jeffries: bass/baritone saxophone/modified Speak & Spell
