"“El Beso de la Muerte”, the third release by the Belgrade ensemble The Cyclist Conspiracy, takes you on a cinematic journey through the wild prairie of great economic crisis, oil wells, tribal wars and technocratic control, towards the only horseman on the horizon, Kapilashwar; from apocalyptic taxims and middle-eastern garage rock, through the Morriconean spaghetti surf and crime fiction homages, to the ritual drones and otherworldly threnodies."
