Banjo or Freakout is Alessio Natalizia. An Italian in London, Alessio began conjuring his noise from the depths of his bedroom to thwart the loneliness lurking in the din of a new city. He sings, plays guitar, drums and programs beats, then drenches them all in effects to create an affecting lo-fi dreamy pop. With a song on the upcoming Bloc Party Remix album and an appearance at the Crawl in the pipeline, Banjo or Freakout is destined for wider acclaim.
