Premiere: Listen to Acid Castello’s “Trust No One” from Forthcoming “Woman 5000” Debut LP

Acid Castello is an Italian trio made by electronic music specialists devoted to acid and electro, born in 2014 under suspicious circumstances: Marcio McFly (Cani Giganti, Spectacular Synthesizer), Bhonz (F-Ring, Techno Soldiers) and Endo (Techno Soldiers). Their live performances are constructed around acid house melodies and the atmospheres of the 80-es science fiction movies’ soundtracks.

From 2015, Acid Castello has been managing the “Acid Film Festival” in Milan, where electro-acid live performances are created and improvised during cult-movies shows. In 2014 AC releases their first EP on the Sardinian “Somewhere Record”.

Much like similar partnerships a lá Italojohnson or Paranoid London, Acid Castello generally swerve the limelight, preferring instead to let their music speak for them. Filled to the brim with enticing dance floor focused tracks, this debut album does so in particularly tantalizing and emphatic fashion.

This is apparent from the get go with their upcoming debut LP, the exceptional Woman 5000 scheduled for release on September 28th via 51 Beats. “On Destiny’s Wings” gives us the first glimpse of the trio’s soundtrack inspirations. A track that would easily fit in to the Stranger Things soundtrack, it sets the album’s stall out in an an auspicious manner. “Her Things” is clearly indebted to Juan Atkins et al, with electro another concurrent theme that runs throughout the release. “Coconut Galaxy” leans toward similar sound tropes, before the title track really ups the sci-fi vibes.

The second half of the album gets underway with “Trust No One”, which we are premiering today, one of the album’s more moody numbers which we are premiering today. “Running Through the Time” lifts the intensity up a notch, before “95 Destroy” serves up the album’s most maddening moments. “Landing on Conga Planets” is arguably its warmest and most melancholy effort, before “Intergalactic Lovers” follows suit by traversing a similar path. From Drexciya to the aforementioned Atkins & beyond, there are numerous inspirations that course through this release. But don’t think this is some sort of tribute act: on the contrary, Acid Castello put their own stamp on these sounds in a manner that’s both unique and refreshing.
