Limited Edition of 300 copies worldwide w/ special colour print gold & black, 140 gram 12" vinyl. BACKWORDS is the solo project of Pardo (Michele Pauli), a founding member of the legendary Milanese dub/electronic outfit Casino Royale. Italy's single-handed riposte to the Bristol trip-hop scene, Casino Royale's 1995 record Sempre piu vicini (produced by famed Massive Attack remixer Ben Young) was named by Rolling Stone as one of the 100 greatest Italian records of all time. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist and passionate collector of, and tinkerer with, analogue equipment, Pardo has collaborated with Howie B and Death in Vegas' Tim Holmes, as well as other Brits he encountered over two decades of recording in London with Casino Royale (or slipping out of the studio for Metalheadz nights at the old Blue Note on Hoxton Square). He now runs the Florence-based electronic label OOH-sounds and curates the experimental festival Hand Signed, which has featured Bill Kouligas, Beatrice Dillon, Philip Jeck and Masayoshi Fujita, amongst others. About the Cover art: STAY GOLD is a new mixed-media piece by the New York artist duo Lovett/Codagnone commissioned specially for the album's cover. It is about curiosity and coherence, a powerful exhortation to keep to the true artistic path. With a practice that draws on radical criticism, literature, cinema and punk music, Lovett/Codagnone work across photography, performance, video, sound and installation to examine identity, power structures and underground resistance tactics.
