La Crus: omonimo (1995)

La Crus's first LP is a peculiar but perfectly coherent hybrid: smoky, acoustic songs, sulky vocals, Portishead-like beats and some quasi-industrial loops. The result is an album dominated by lazy, smoky, daunted atmospheres, with a distinct Italian feeling given by the melodic style of the songs and their frequent fanfare-music incursions. Guitars, voice, trumpet and loops are the main elements of this beautiful, morose record.
