Boy Omega : The Black Tango [CD]

The Black Tango is the second full length release from Gothenburg, Sweden's Martin Gustafsson - better known to those exposed as Boy Omega. Like a scavenger trek through a barren mansion at midnight, The Black Tango has brief passages and hidden nooks in addition to full living spaces that - as a whole - create an atmospheric journey combining acoustic guitar (found on his debut LP I Name You Isolation) and minimal electronic experimentation.
Ably backed by a cast of Sweden's finest musicians and vocalists (think the Boy Omega corps), Gustafsson weaves his craftsmanship with these critical elements - creating a sonic tapestry, and making The Black Tango an emotionally sound masterpiece.

There's no hiding the truth that we fell evil in love with Boy Omega after hearing his version of Oldham's "A Sucker's Evening" on Tract Records I AM A COLD ROCK. I AM DULL GRASS. After that the unveiling of a fistfull of EP's, a few compilation appearances and 2004's Isolation which leads us to this 20 chapter creation.
