Genre/Influences: Experimental, industrial, electronic, dark-cinematographic.

Background/Info: “Lemegeton Party” is the debut (mini)-album by Junkie Flamingos. This new band was set up in 2017 by Alice Kundalini, Luca Sigurtà and Daniele Delogu. Alice Kundalini is known for her work under the She Spread Sorrow moniker. “Lemegeton Party” is inspired by the novel “Hyperion” from Freidrich Holderlin.

Content: It’s not that easy to define the sound of this project. It’s easier to speak about multiple influences, which are covering elements of experimental-, electronic- industrial- and dark-cinematographic music. Kundalini’s vocals are once again expressing a kind of cold-sensual taste. The vocals have been produced with some extra effects on top. From evasive cinematic passages with a dark edge to harder industrial parts, this work is also revealing some ritual elements and ambient atmospheres filled with desolation.

+ + + : I like the global minimalism running through this work. The songs have something very personal, somewhat intimate and definitely tormenting. Junkie Flamingos clearly strives to create an own style and this debut work is fully accomplished. It resulted from a creative process revealing a band with visionary ideas. The 5 songs are worthy of examination, but I especially recommend both last ones.

– – – : My only regret is that there are only five songs featured here.

Conclusion: I was a bit afraid when I heard the name of this band, which is totally weird, but now I’ve heard their music I can only, but highly recommend for you to discover Junkie Flamingos!

Best songs: “Shape Of Men”, “Restless Youth”, “The Language Of Slaves”.

Rate: (8).

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
