Pradada is one of the many artist aliases of the immensely prolific Montréal, Québec resident and head of the wonderful Hobo Cult Records Francesco de Gallo (among them, presumably most prominent, his ambient/psychedelic noise project Hobo Cubes - there's a nice and clarifying interview from last February over at Weird Canada). In Francesco's own words, it's his "weird surf psych punk noise rock" venture, and indeed, that's just about it as his brilliant new song Future Lover proves. Apart from this gem, Pradada's debut full length Phantasy Visions which was recorded last year is still available on CD-R via Hobo Cult. There's also a single still available over at Beko DSL that you can grab for free.
However, his very recent remix of his friend Paul Rosales aka our beloved Wonder Wheel's Purple heads into an entirely different direction. The pretty raw original, one of the best tracks from Rosales' quasi best-of collection Wonder Wheel I, is turned into a slick and sleazy late night hypnosis, a slow-burning piece of eroticism that gets completed by an absolutely adequate video by Moduli TV (just another of Francesco's guises), hitting your desires for the darkest pleasures. Aurally and visually a startling and terrific experience.
