Various - Dictaphonia Fest
Review by Luíza
Dictaphonia Fest is a unique album that features various artists from different genres. The album is a compilation of songs that were recorded using dictaphones, which gives it a raw and unpolished sound. The album is an interesting experiment in sound recording, and it offers a refreshing break from the overproduced music that dominates the industry.
The album features a range of artists, from folk singers to experimental musicians, and each track offers a different perspective on the dictaphone recording process. Some of the standout tracks include "The Sound of My Heart" by singer-songwriter Sarah Smith, which features a haunting melody that is enhanced by the lo-fi recording quality. Another standout track is "Rhythmic Noise" by experimental artist Mica Jones, which features a hypnotic beat that is both soothing and unsettling.
