THE DEATH OF ANNA KARINA was quite the enigma for almost a decade (for me, at least). They shared a member with La Quiete, which made me buy the album right away...back in 2002. The self-titled album was a caustic romp through European screamo and Orchid-worship territory, which obviously sent me into a frenzy. This was back before band stuff was plastered around the internet, so after obsessing over the band I basically was unable to find anything besides their split with The Flying Worker and the 'Death Of Anna Karina' LP.
Fast forward 8 years and I'm looking around random blogs and I see the band has a new LP and split with Chambers. What?!?!?! Needless to say, I was excited as all hell. I downloaded it immediately and sat back expecting unrelenting chaos with politically charged lyrics. Instead I got the new DOAK, post-hardcore meets epic prog-rock. I was shocked at first, but their new style grew on me quickly. The old material was screamy and blistering hardcore while the new is groove-based prog-rock with slight remnants of screamo. It's much more layered and structured, with almost no chaotic parts. Instead, the band builds some pretty thick soundscapes that are extremely catchy, deep and driving. The throaty screams and wails are a thing of the past, as the new vocals lie more in the Dominic and later La Quiete sound, which is more of the gruff European yellin'. The band also incorporates some serious sass and attitude (sassitute?), especially on the self titled album with tracks like "You Are My Cannibal" and a few newer songs like the throwback-heavy-and-screamy "E Poi Niente". Check it all out below and be sure to read the interview!
As I just stated, I was able to email-interview Alessandro from the band, who was really nice and answered my questions even though English isn't his first language.
