MARCO'S TOP ALBUMS OF 2012 - #15 (Part 9 of 23)

The 15th Trump of the Tarot is "The Devil", one of the less understood cards of the entire deck: not an sign of bad omen by any means (that's "The Tower", and for obvious reasons?), "The Devil" signifies the Alchemical Opus in act. A memento of Change.

Be it chance, or be it synchronicity, that we find at #15 in our countdown an artist that made of chance and evolution her trademark: we are talking of TYING TIFFANY and her latest album, "Dark Days, White Nights".

Moving on from her career in alternative modelling - she was one of the first Suicide Girls - to singing and producing, she made her first steps in the music world as an electroclash/electropunk outfit, and the evolved her sound in a diametral opposite with the current new (electro) wave productions, which have already been featured in the most diverse area, from Vogue to the C.S.I. soundtrack and the SXSW Festival.

A real force to be reckoned with: and the music speaks for itself, as the album is a hour long voyage into melancholy and rage, that while not being radically different from the previous "Peoples Theatre", managed to re-affirm her innate talent.

Suggested listening: "Colony", "Drownin'", "Unleashed", "5 am".
