Limited to 300 copies only. Mal-d?-tos: the collective singular, from the spanish word maldito, or androgynous, plural, Malditus. Oakland, Ca., Malditos is a quartet embarked on a concept of sound they refer to as "dark-zone desert psych", featuring pulsating rhythms, melodic vocal phrasings, sonic guitar passages and heavy atmospheric textures conjured via analog synthesizers, tapes and percussion. Formed in late 2011 for a performance in the Dismal Swamp, the group recorded material for a full length S/T album which was released on the band's own Alchemy Coffin label in 2012. These songs feature lyrics in French and English as well as a cover of Serge Gainsbourg's classic composition, "Requiem Pour Un Con", which ends up running the gamut at over eight minutes in length, sounding more like Faust processing Gainsbourg than its funky predecessor.
