The Contino Sessions

Death in Vegas

A heavy, cinematic fusion of urban grit and psychedelic haze. Grinding basslines meet guest vocals from Iggy Pop and Bobby Gillespie in a noir-soaked city.

Find on Amazon

It's like a dark, druggy road movie for your ears with Iggy Pop as your guide.

A menacing, noir-inflected journey through urban decay and psychedelic tension.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The relentless six-minute crescendo of Dirge building from a simple bass pulse into a wall of shoegaze noise.
Iggy Pop's menacingly calm delivery on Aisha over a driving, motorik beat that feels like a pursuit.
The sudden shift from gritty electronics to the haunting spiritual weight of the London Community Gospel Choir on Aladdin's Story.
