MINI SCARVES - Orientiran In Pogovorljiv -(Debila Records-Slovenia-2019)


 Another great mini CD by the Slovenian Debila Records. Mini Scarves seems to be a side project of Mono Scarves and the title of this mini album is Oriented and Talkative. The music here is a blend of harsh noise with other stuff. The message of  the backcover says "Mini Scarves are the same as Mono Scarves, only smaller and with electric zithers and a tie" hence the drawing on the cover sleeve. Enjoy it.
