Mondo Decay is the debut release from Nun Gun, the multimedia collaboration between visual artist Brad Feuerhelm, and musicians Lee Tesche and Ryan Mahan of the band Algiers.[1] After winning the 2021 Ear/Eye Award,[2] Mondo Decay was released as a 144-page photo book of Feuerhelm's photography with an accompanying soundtrack cassette produced by Tesche and Mahan on February 19, 2021, by Witty Kiwi.[3] Mondo Decay "turns the tourist gaze of mid-century Italian exploitation films onto post-industrial America, while scavenging the pulpiest bits of their soundtracks, giving them the chopped and screwed treatment, and festooning them with Tesche's brash sax flourishes."[4] The album features guest contributions from Mark Stewart of The Pop Group, ONO, Mourning [A] BLKstar, artists Luiza Prado and Farbod Kokabi, as well as authors Blake Butler, Michael Salu, and Sohail Daulatzai.[5]
