Hesperius Draco- Directive V
Hesperius Draco- Directive V

Emerging from the shadows, Hesperius Draco returns to Frigio with a solo release for the first time since his 2016 album Actus Tragicus. Directive V conjures up the magic of giallo horror, silver screen slashers and smoky synthlines, while exploring something altogether new. Tempered percussion and low bass-lines introduce the 12" with "Lexploitation". Cinematic influences percolate in the steady percussion and lonesome elation of "Memories of Sex Desire." The mood changes on the flip with "Leaders In Space." Guitar strings and breathy samples blend to create a leering late lounge track spiked with acid notes and vocoder bitterness. The finale brings something totally different. The gurgling acid line is amplified as Hesperius Draco unveils "Cyber Bondage." Floor centric and machine steeped, stabbing synth-lines, rusted rhythms and an inchoate energy course through this finale to display yet another side of Alessandro Parisi's sound.

Track List

  1. A1. Lexploitation
  2. A2. Memories of Sex Desire
  3. B1. Leaders in Space
  4. B2. Cyber Bondage

Open My Records To Avoid Seam Splitting During Shipping

In order to ship your records to you in the safest way possible, and to avoid seam splits, we recommend removing the record from the jacket when shipping. That said, we will never open sealed records and do this without your permission. If you would like your records shipped to you this way, please add this product to your cart.

We will place your jacket and record inside a FREE protective poly.
