*2017 restock* On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the label, this impossible to find and looked after debut LP by Heroin In Tahiti is available again in a micro-pressing of 150 units only. Inspired by the classic Italian “spaghetti sound” turned into a depressed and paranoid version of the typical twang-surf of Morricone’s scores, “Death Surf” is an hypothetical soundtrack of an old mondo-movie gone bad. The album drags the oppressive heat and bad habits of the Mediterranean to the radioactive beaches of Polynesia, discovering non-existent tribes, invented costumes, misplaced traditions and colonial exoticisms.
Think of drinking a frozen Daiquiri on a solitary beach while watching a poorly tuned TV broadcasting loops of “If You Meet Sartana Pray for Your Death”, while Mururoa tests are happening at the horizon. If this was the soundtrack of the end, it couldn’t be more doped. (Boring Machines)
