Danilo Gallo Dark Dry Tears - Thinking Beats Where Mind Dies

Review by Enrico Giubertoni

Danilo Gallo's latest album, Thinking Beats Where Mind Dies, under the moniker Dark Dry Tears, is a sonic journey that is both haunting and beautiful. The album features Gallo's exceptional bass playing, which is at the forefront of each track, as well as his atmospheric soundscapes that create a sense of melancholic introspection.

The album's opening track, "Stare," sets the mood with a slow, brooding bass line that gradually builds in intensity. Gallo's use of distortion and feedback adds an element of rawness to the track, creating a sense of unease that permeates throughout the album.

The title track, "Thinking Beats Where Mind Dies," is a standout moment on the album, with Gallo's bass playing taking center stage. The track is a slow burn, with Gallo's playing gradually building in intensity until it reaches an explosive climax.

Throughout the album, Gallo's use of electronic elements adds a futuristic edge to the music, with tracks like "Blackout" and "Void" featuring glitchy beats that bring to mind the work of artists like Aphex Twin and Autechre.

Summary by Enrico Giubertoni

Thinking Beats Where Mind Dies is an impressive album that showcases Gallo's talent as a bassist and composer. The album is a must-listen for fans of experimental music and those looking for a sonic journey that is both challenging and rewarding.
