Lea Bellucci’s debut album "Invisible City Lady" was built around the idea of reclaiming 'the city that no one ever left' from the gaze of tourism and the advertising for tourism. To carry this out, she turned a unique voice into a mass of noise, a cacophony that recedes into the distance and then rears up in a flash.
The music of "Invisible City Lady" is a strange, drum-laden soundtrack for the guttural soundscape of a quarry. The title track builds from a series of drum crashes, a series of machine parts grinding through each other in a grid pattern, suspending in air like sulphurous vapour. The album ends with a series of drum beats, punctuated by the faint rumble of a shaft passing by. This is a work in motion, its beats building tension as it moves from quarry to quarry, from stone to mortar.
The album ends with a drone of drum beats, a brief passage of white noise, a series of whispers, and a faint hum.
