Carla Lippis is a live grenade with lungs, and she’s back in Australia to unleash her new sound with MONDO PSYCHO: an avant garde descent into rock ’n’ roll purgatory helmed by ‘the Satanic Liza Minelli’, whose relentless vocal power grinds audiences everywhere into a state of submission.
With nods to Iggy’s Raw Power days, the riot girl howl of the 90s, the chaotic post-punk of The Birthday Party and the insolence of X-Ray Spex’s Poly Styrene, Carla’s dominating presence is both feared and revered. She is the dark side of the Almodovar heroine: vulnerable and yet untameable. This musical brutalism contrasts with a hypnotic approach, awash with lush synths straight from the worlds of Badalamenti’s Twin Peaks or the creeping dread of 1970’s Italian horror scores.
