FINFERLAND it's the new album of ALFONSO CHENG“bedroom music maker” Campanian born in 1990, released last May for .Beast And Manita Discs.
A postmodern melting pot of musical and cultural references from the 90sbut they are never the same as the source.
“O'nfinfero“in Neapolitan dialect it is the windbag: a braggart, a fop. And it comes from a world made of people”normal” that Alfonso runs away, and isolating himself in his room, he lets off steam by recording.
Alfonso processes memories without wanting to be faithful to them, creating an alternative version of the past, deforming it with his machines and giving life to a jungle. noise made of distorted guitars, in a surreal dimension where synthwave meets lo-fi with a splash of electronics and post punk.
Through real stories and surreal quotes Alfonso tells about his land, Campania.
The album features the collaboration of several artists including Mops (“Love / Noise”), Visconti (“Nocera by night”), Supernino (“Little Miss”), Tall Trees (“I was fine”), Kiwi666 (“Edenlandia”), Carlo Corbellini – Post Fog (“All your troubles taste like goodbye.”)
