Scrapyard by Adriano Viterbini + Reed Turchi

"This international collaboration finds noted guitarists Viterbini (from Rome) and Turchi (from Memphis, Tenn.) coming together as a duo. The two have a minimalist, dark blues chemistry overflowing with earthy delta slide and dark pulsing electric guitar. No rhythm section only adds to the tracks' late-night jam session feel, seemingly leaving them locked in conversation with no one else to listen or judge. Highlights include the relatively upbeat “Cottonmouth Drag” and the soulful rave-up “Gira,” as well as the spooky “Latitudes.” - iTunes Editors

"In Scrapyard the two guitarists create plots of notes that are a solitary journey on straight roads, dusty with the thoughts that wander up to, dissolve, and give way to ecstatic contemplation. Minimal arpeggios and slightly distorted slide guitar open the imagination of the listener who is carried away by the taste for composition but also by the instinct of the two artists who alternate between instrumental songs, and others masterfully interpreted by the voice of the Turchi." - Musicfeed Italy

"Echoes of John Fahey and Ry Cooder can be easily spotted in the fabulous catharsis the two guitarists are able to produce on each track...A marvelous example of talent and simplicity." - Bluebird Reviews UK
