In this installment of What We’re Listening To, Engadget editors dive into some of the recent music releases we’ve been playing on repeat. Yes, Brat has us in a chokehold, too. <\/em><\/p>\n When I first heard Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats was putting out an album inspired by 1960s-70s giallo films, I felt like my interests, personally, were being targeted. It\u2019s the kind of crossover that now seems like it had<\/em> to happen at some point, but I never realized my need for it until this moment. (One person on Reddit<\/a>, though, was really onto something with the idea last year). Lo and behold, Nell\u2019 Ora Blu<\/em> dropped last month and it scratches a very specific itch in my brain.<\/p>\n It is not at all the usual fare you\u2019d expect from Uncle Acid, very much taking on the structure of a soundtrack with a lot of ambient instrumentals and short dialogue tracks voiced by genre regulars Edwige Fenech, Franco Nero and Luc Merenda (it pulls influence from the poliziotteschi crime\/action films as well). The scores in these movies often feel like psychedelic horror experiences in themselves \u2014 with heavy moments that really drag you in, only to be offset by something so delicate it\u2019s almost disorienting \u2014 and unsurprisingly, Uncle Acid absolutely nails this. This is the perfect album to pop on in the background while you\u2019re trying to get some art or writing done, ideally as a thunderstorm rolls in. It’s pretty long, coming in at around an hour and 17 minutes, but I almost always replay it at least once per sitting.<\/p>\nUncle Acid and The Deadbeats – <\/strong>Nell\u2019 Ora Blu<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n
