Deep snow slopes, Puss cats and a dream come Dream
Hollywood
As so often, I also suggest reporting this as a bridge to the past to link something that I had thought lost until a few minutes there and as forever in the depths of my memory . In the current case to July 2005, somewhere in the Melrose Avenue LA dated, an estimated 100 ° F ambient temperature and surrounded by red-hot asphalt, which the powerful West Coast -. Serves bodies as a playground for diverse macho posturing. Really a beautiful place, and yet it had one strand flavor when you suddenly in the city is to play in which so many stories of his record collection, one comes along every second of places and clubs, which were known because of the discussion of various LA bands simple or much more, they are already thousands of times in thought Under the Bridge found, or in his dreams more than One hot minute had spent here. It was a strange tingling sensation in me, are hard on the + / - scale process the inner mood barometer and the whole events could not be discussed. Also because I am far from a time, my feelings satisfactory, Overall condition was. I was almost forced me to change into one of the many Vintage T-Shirt - Stores which along Melrose Ave. how, after the flash disk in the sky writhing Sun Flower Beads to search. My affinity for these clothes so I could never deny. That my choice will be counted towards a more psychedelic, and it was not my style shirt was appropriate, that surprises me now that I think about it again when I had actually worn the last time, more than then. The inscription and the ragged, had gone through countless colorful strokes and lines represented by three people it shilouette done to me, reminded me a little to the metro plan a big city and on closer inspection the whole thing swam before my eyes as if I had an absinthe caught too much. In addition, the cut was awesome. It fascinated me, although I could with the characters depicted a band called The Secret Machines not do anything. On the contrary, I even confused with the Suicide Machines . Well, should be so, but I have to this day still not made me a plate of this group for anybody. The only thing I associate with them, which I believe is not successful artwork by Ten Silver Drops . Very funny the whole thing, actually against my opinion regarding the vastness of the music, and certainly the only band T-shirt that I own, without having ever supported in this in any conceivable manner. Madness and .... I have just a damn bad conscience. (Especially since spoken of their 2004 debut album in great tones ...)
Proxima Estación: Brooklyn
years later, sometime in late 2008, I grabbed the first time a few lines about a trio of Brooklyn on - School Of Seven Bells . The name immediately liked and also the story behind it, In the case of a Colombian school for pickpockets, wanting more. The accompanying music then took a few runs before the hired a wonderful thing. I could not fact enough of it, heard on every occasion their songs, which, with names like Connjur or For Kalaja Mari rounded off the whole package perfectly, a textual continuation, the one before that, with electro beats woven, hypnotic soundscape in the head shooting thoughts make it. But the next wow 'factor was not long in coming, it is this group actually an extremely rare combination. From the perspective of guitarist Benjamin Curtis probably more linked to classify act accomplished musicians dream " . Other way to describe the well not if you suddenly describe monozygotic twin sisters with süd-/mittelamerikanischer origin, and the word pretty inadequate, under the same roof, and lives to make the case that orders a his heart. Together, namely to create that for which the melting pot called Brooklyn, NY . known for some time - music with class!
That this poor male being still just a part of the former brothers project (including a drummer) The Secret Machines is that caused me once again heavy in knots by nature very incoherent hosts. And chances are not - as we all know! The project idea arose
a 2004 tour that took place with Interpol, at the Curtis' former band aufgeigte as the opening act as the pair of sisters Alejandra and Claudia Deheza, better known as On! Air! Library! . This was, however, shortly after Off Air should flow down to the Kolloberation but still a lot of water to the Hudson River . End of 2007, then Benjamin got fixed after the The Secret Machines from start to explore new musical realms could!
Alps, Rocky Mountains, Andes ... whatever!
When, in November 2008, not only us in the winter to the land moved, all wrapped in a gray soup, occasionally brought the white good with it and the people depending on what place they were, their emotional state simply most and easily with winter depression titled, as were the Brooklyn snowed in for months - somewhere in the central massif of an enormous mountain range, on its own, equipped only with her dreams as a navigator. All she needed.
Alpinisms (*) is her legacy to us, a part of a metaphor-to-understand story about the long journey to the self, which is composed of intense ideas for self-being, deep emotions and the many events that the way to previously paved. Always keep moving, even if for one, prima facie, can not be overcome before a snow covered ridge opens. One will never know what is behind it or the still life with a front has when it is not climbing up. In the case of School of Seven Bells , it seems, were accumulated over years Experience in a large backpack packed and started a journey in which they seized in exactly this sequence, coupled with the constantly experienced impressions of a traveler in a song textual context. Fortunately, still had plenty of room for instruments and other Technical Devices , so they had the end effect of a bulging backpack to haul, but always careful not to collapse under the weight. This was certainly not practiced for the first time, but this trio was very firm in this regard shall go, even if the remote paths on which they were already long in any map on rails anymore. Good thing then it was still a dream and better yet, not in words that came to them, but in images, which are wonderful to share with their resulting music with us in a position.
Flexibilisms
have fortunately School of Seven Bells a long breath, which she brought over numerous passes finally to Vienna, where she refuge on the Danube Canal lodged a short breather. Although, as this was what we were offered there, are not known. Rather, it was a situation set to music report that all parties seem to continue to be in excellent condition. It was an early "dream hour," sand in the eyes of the had in abundance but no one Eingefundenen. All seemed well rested and happy to be receptive, curious about what we should expect in the near future.
The prevailing silence was Afro-roots-like drumming paired with a short Distortion broken, before the angelic voices of twin sisters, the beginning of a nightmare all denied smashing sets. In the very first song of the evening, Face to Face on High Places , gave us an insight into the grueling deep thoughts stuck in each of us, and in the chorus presented in thanks and recognition to same-understand sentence - It's safe to say, saving you, saved me .
Welcome to Extended Version the haunted in many minds around the world topics right path finding and the associated recognition that we must dare to go further. The whole under the guise Dream Pop me so far not a familiar name in the infinite genre jungle.
Only if one starts to move, we also perform "acquaintances" that happen to you and will inevitably be an invaluable aid to an apparently deadlocked way. The mixture of building up choirs, combined with the until the most remote valleys spreading sound waves, BC drew his six strings, and the irresistibly propulsive, the body continuously for Passing by without grooving animating, beats, and the remaining sound experiences of an electronic Cockaigne, enchanted from the first second. Benjamin Curtis, the pigeonholing a Shoegazers everything was as fair maneuvered, with his seemingly Michal J. Fox on the set of Back to the Future II borrowed shoes, highly concentrated by the perfectly subtle sound world of his effects, while Alejandra supported him on her acting so big guitar. The sound, as always in the Flex, a feast for the ears, the voices clear and everyone sat still so tricky to use the retrieved samples of Claudia as perfect as her middle parting. Off the songs there was not much to talk about. What was fabricated here, needed no more words used, if one took in fact, linked to an exuberant excursion into the vastness of our imagination. By hanging from the ceiling LED Wall, which allowed us participate permanently in the formation of new stars, felt the process with one more time real a whit, as if armed in their own homes, with Headphones , the pit lies about, and songs like Half Asleep in endless loop leads to heart. In Connjur could because of the deceptive similarity of train signals for a sounding intro and a permanent, believe in NIN reminiscent hissing, before, being in a hijacked passenger train. Jump impossible to sit back and better then but everything is possible. Will not be too bad.
It was, in the truest sense of the word, wonderful evening in one of me, unfortunately, the overall situation becoming increasingly unsympathetic Club. The slightly techno beats reminded me (and probably only me), in retrospect, a bit of Neulander and especially the Song Prince of Peace , a hot face-off tip for non-experts from Alpinisms that was given as (obviously) only added to the top, called me about the style massively UNKLE to mind.
The band said goodbye briefly and, I believe, Vienna keeping in good memory. I was also, unfortunately, because carrying a little prejudice in me, surprised by the reaction of the public comfortable.
After the concert is not like before the concert
I must admit, this hour, it had me pretty impressed, gave me a permanent grin in the face, and I would not have been the only one who would have appreciated it if they work for a while their works were given for the best. Apparently there are already enough material for a new plate. Even friends who attended the concert more or less without prior knowledge, were impressed and found no words for this experience.
Thus, I at this point to anyone and this wonderful place in so many moods to be applied to the working heart. By now they are back at least seven mountains, tucked in the pockets of the bells and probably not as quick to meet in Austria.
And even though I no regular Flex - walkers 'm spent after months of Austria-abstinence and the resulting initial contact with the still very chilly new cafe but since then a few nice hours there, it would take only a ridiculous, as a solution for a completely different problem (which the law is not Lord) declared and stinking to high heaven, moronic police curfew to one, the usual, ranging from Ulaan Baatar to Montevideo , club raise standards.
But I like a splendid one DJ yesterday had brought this issue to the point:
" you are back in Vienna - Welcome"
By the by, I'll take the message of SVIIB even more to heart and go back just as quickly ...
(*) as a source of inspiration for the album title was the book Mount Analogue by Rene Daumal because the theme of the book in line with that of Claudia and Alejandra was found written lyrics.
The album Alpinisms is out in November 2008 to Ghostly International . The artwork was done by Bryan Collins.
Pix by mck-design and here to admire.
PAZ!
