always nice if every month in the publications some small beads discovered that are of such brilliance that I want to show they prefer a leisurely place for posterity. Plates, can point to that one, when again the talk is of the decline in quality in pop culture. Plates that end up not later than gathering dust on the shelf. A board such as the self-titled album by the Canadian Michael O'Connell , who under the pseudonym Culture Reject his debut album, recently presented at White Whale Records. When you really get pleasure Culture Reject the LP again be perceived as a whole, rather than hand over hand from single to single, and in the run only once a half-baked to tepid songs have to dig. Select all this you will miss at Culture Reject, because conceptually turns on the Canadian all around a homogeneous sound to linkages between the songs and images, which are worn in a different form from track to track. " almost classic " because you could throw into the room. And they seem so intuitive first guess also like to describe the sound of Culture Reject, so tangible and valid but it is also. Already the opening track "Is not it on the Floor" is accompanied by a well-present carillon, which is broken again and again by other instruments. Not quite as minimalistic acts "Inside The Cinema. "- Right after The carillon can be heard in vain, but otherwise bombastic and repetitive motifs that are successively taken up by different instruments come back, come off, and later still in the lower frequency range of the speaker fall silent
The only component. that is in this scheme is not so very clean fit the band name. Culture Reject describes figuratively, a cultural waste product that you will search in vain in the 11 songs on the album. Another small flaw may also result in the implementation of the songs , for Culture Reject is primarily the multi-instrumentalist Michael O'Connell, who just likes to be known are invited to the studio, then record the most inspiring moments on this tape. He is on tour, when he is not with all sorts of samplers and sequencers solo traveling is from Benji Perosin and Bernardo Padron (responsible for the horn section), Paul Costello (bass / percussion) and Dylin North (drums) supported.
remains to be seen only as Michael O'Connell will present in November in this country. The bonus in the same breath as Chad VanGaalen to be called, hopefully it will bring full houses. Culture Reject Live: 01.11. Galao (Stuttgart) / / / 03.11. Madame Claude (Berlin) / / / 04.11. Keller Art School (Kassel) / / / 05.11. Chocolates (Berlin)
Eamon McGrath Michael O'Connell has only little in common. Of course, both Canadians, both have earned a place of honor in the ranks of White Whale Records and both will play on the fall in Europe's ass. But that gradually seep even the arguments of the comparables. Eamon McGrath is in contrast to Michael O'Connell a beer-blessed story teller, rather feels at home in seedy dives, as in the company of art students beyond the permanent position. rumored that not even the twenties McGrath have already produced an incredible 18 albums with only 100 songs in his closet. Before that you should safely pull the hat, that is, when they have about their accuracy. What is, however, say without doubt must be the fact that McGrath on "13 Songs of whiskey and Light" an incredibly raw, all monopolizing energy radiates, hopefully the beginning of a great career as an earthy singer-songwriter with a penchant for psychedelic punk will be checked shirts. Comparatively could serve as the young Bruce Springsteen , whose albums "Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ" (1973), "The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle" (1973) and "Born to Run" (1975) something of a blueprint for bluesy singer-songwriters are. But where Springsteen has in recent years repeatedly sought the proximity of the Soul, there are Eamon McGrath soulful moments just as friction heat on the dance floor: raw, entertaining and cathartic. Plug in guitar. Gain turn up. Count-in. Done.
But that's not to say that McGrath sprayed only testosterone and juvenile energy, and that follow after the big explosion no great deeds. Quite the contrary. McGrath is, like his role model summoned Springsteen, an excellent, sometimes even an expressive storyteller who live close to his audience by reports of the valley of life in the Captivates. If one adds to nor his charismatic live performances you will certainly understand why McGrath sings his lyrics rather than crying. He wants to be heard, although he really should not. The beguiling loudness is more a by-product. If necessary, can the deliberation, requiring the stories as told McGrath they actually produce at home - on the home stereo system.
deliberation, however, is also a good word to describe the approach of the Italian ambience duo Clorinde to celebrate the moment to "The Creative Listener" a return to the slowness.
Clorinde have its name probably a due to asteroid, discovered in 1889 by Auguste Charlois. However, if the should not be the case, then the brothers Andrea and Simone Salvatici Salvatici at least have chosen a really catchy name for their project. Homogeneous is their approach to music, constantly combining different instruments to be heard in this form than in the experimental Icelandic women of Amiina or Hauschka . Since there are in addition to the traditional string instruments, which have a monopoly on pop music seems including xylophones, chimes, analog and digital synthesizers, and also various percussion.
In sum, the smallest parts are, however, only as mere noise. As set pieces that play with each other and circle that can be feed without origin in the CinemaScope sound of Clorinda. With the huge variety of instruments used on "The Creative Listener," is heard at some point, to find their proper name and is caught up in the sinking. You can drag themselves into the stream.
