Here She Comes Now

Limited Four track 7" EP - 600 Copies on Coloured Vinyl. Claudio Cataldi comes from Palermo in Sicily, creates warm, deep electronic and acoustic sounds, and this EP features three of his own compositions as well as a stunning cover of The Velvet Underground's 'Here She Comes Now'. Claudio describes his work as, "music from different times and places, but with the same inner mood, and captured with a small mic and a half-broken amp"; he first appeared on a Fruits de Mer release about a year ago with a cover of Syd Barrett's 'She Took A Long Cold Look'. On this four-track EP, Claudio has reinterpreted the Lou Reed song, 'Here She Comes Now' - giving it the same warmth he brought to the Syd track last year. I read that the song was written by Lou about either his guitar or his girlfriend's orgasms - the sleeve designer, Martin Ross Butler, has done his best to cover both possibilities. Elsewhere on this EP, 'All My Friends Are Here' is a new song from Claudio that's heard here for the first time, while 'Final' and 'Ropes And Strings' are taken from Claudio's own back-catalogue; by rather nice coincidence, Claudio has his own label, called Seashell Records.
