imaginary cotton candy, a surge in growth and other insights
Whether I which would have the Junior Boys in my Wurlitzer, me friend © A few months ago once asked. I have the affirmative, because I knew that there is a folder with that name. All too often had to be related songs from this but not the membrane of my box to vibrate. Also likely to even a remix of the Boys (I think "Jackie" by Sally Shapiro have ) smuggled into my vinyl case. The needle had to get this record but also to feel more often. All this should change, however - though not the same.
Everyone knows the feeling when you connects places for all eternity with some music, you always feel a bit just beamed. Whether, when one hangs up the home, they, for some speakers of the urban world out there pumping, or leaked to us by means of radio frequencies. The Junior Boys are responsible for many such moments - except that I was still there, wandering where I found it for me really, where its importance have won.
And if there were accidents, then this story would be a prime example. Which is precisely in a phase in the me, the two Canadians for weeks once day to accompany day out in my ways, and otherwise general concert lull in the city there, they suddenly are in true form suburb, I have a seemingly up Andorra acknowledged audible cheer. In Vienna
waited, as I had learned of this late but in vain on the Canadian duo.

It is point three when two nondescript men in red tape in Sala LO * LI * TA , somewhere in a huge old factory arrive in the quarter Poblenou . A third party huddles with folded hands the thing behind it. The bar, trimmed a bit larger, overactivity Arena on chic bistro is filled as standard. There exists a coming and going. Once you enter that is paid once, so you can pick and choose which of the five floors you will obtain the tinnitus. The Dj convinced me ever hang with violent Röyksopp remixes and a highly contagious type Electro . (Snr.Bianco, you'd be jerks ... and I was suddenly back in the Geusaugasse - in one of these Sunday morning before it all began)
I must confess the truth, I did not know how to look Junior Boys , because of their music but had a pre-image in my head. One, as I know now, completely wrong. Always the same with the stereotype thing. But I love those moments. Besides, I had swallowed out of the record reviews the current album, not many lines about their background. No idea why and I would have changed prior to the concert, certainly. But since flown out emotionally since ancient times and the neighbor is on him I did not my web-projects implemented. And in locutorios with Arabic sounds I can but not more than three or four remain fast moments. In retrospect, I regret the course massively.
Work it baby, work it
On stage were placed next to the countless other little machines and synthesizers and a drum and a guitar, which put me in a very exhilarated state. Honestly, I just could not. After a few preliminary photos and a talk with Jeremy Greenspan and Matthew Didemus it was serious. The final sounds of "Röyksopp's Night Out" then opened an incredibly sentimental electro night.
The drummer (sorry, name forgotten, but we call him as F0st3r ) already heavily immersed in the world of the holy clicks on his headphones, kicked the basic beat while Matthew started the first sampler. Then the use of Jeremy on guitar and microphone and even stole the track "Work" seemingly distant from coming to a galaxy until it finally with his shallow then pounding techno beat and breathy vocals Supplement struck almost directly in my heart. With an intensity that made me really seem perplexed. My ready-made image of the duo was simply erased and replaced by something that I could not believe at first. I had never thought that I would expect a live set in this way, and certainly not that I I had fallen in love with the voice of a person who built there in the form of estimated 165 chubby inches from me. Well, Rumor. Also my
partially naive estimate what the creation of electronic music As for broke like a house of cards when I saw Matt works to his toys around. A laptop here, this time they sought in vain anyway. Wonderful.
First Time
It all depends but not all of the blue. And as so often, you just have the luck at the right time and right place to be. Jeremy Greenspan is certainly among those who have come to enjoy this moment. And suddenly there was the project Junior Boys on a completely different level. It was in 2001 when Greenspan sent a demo to his friend and former roommate in England, Steve Goodman. Today we know this probably better under Kode9 or as operators of the label Hyperdub , not only south of the Thames. This demo includes an interview posted on his website (the label Hyperdub not really exist yet) and even the stone began to roll. After a short line-up changes, they released their first EP in 2003, which in turn is a remix by the Viennese artist electric Fennesz (new album: Black Sea - ! Get!) Involved, and caused quite a stir in the scene. A scene that should give the two old friends from Hamilton neatly with her as fresh-sounding, dahinpluckernden electro sound color.
2004 was followed by another EP (including a remix of her friend Manitoba / Caribou now ) before with Last Exit the first album on KIN-Records has been published (in the same year moved is still too Domino Records ). This seemingly never-ending work of art, makes use of even stronger on housy or techno sound framework of those two past. More directly and monotonically knew to convince them. The voice of Greenspan wrapped with their gentleness, but even at this record around the long-term memory. And once you "Teach Me How to Fight" certified as correct, anyway, nothing is as it once was. Lyrically it he took not so much in the direction of classic pop songwriting as on the bombastic sophomore So This is Goodbye or just on the current, deep sophistication something, and at first perhaps not quite as danceable appearing Begone Dull Care .
crooning around
should be the latest in this regard for a live experience But all doubters be taught a lesson and give the plate and away from various upholstery and mattresses landscapes a place. Moreover, you get to the concert are difficult qualities of the masterful crooner Jeremy Greenspan of the head. The way he dances with a few steps through the songs, always with his eyes closed, carried by packed dreamy land of electronic gimmicks, the mic in Frank Sinatra style use and for the city so right Gaytouch that made it a fairly easy , in the Beeps & Boops hineinzuträumen still a little bit deeper.
The songs sounded full, modified, of course, sometimes what the drummer was. This was raging out in minutes on monotonously played Fills always accurate and the pool so precisely set so that you do not believe was that because someone is sitting in the dark of the stage and thrashes metronome by means of the approaching morning. Everything will fall into each other like butter. The Junior Boys have made it really perfect to trim their songs suitable for the stage, have become a distinguished piece adult.
And given how complicated the process of creation, Matt now lives in Berlin while Jeremy rages in his home studio in Hamilton, Canada, designs must have, so it is even more admirable that this live concept in this way also the current long-player comes up. On
wildly send fragments of song that is completely waived the two. It should not be one of these plates, which are almost exclusively on the information highway between the two continents. Everyone was working on his concepts and we flew with these ideas in his luggage more time together over the pond to them in small joint work, in the same room, together into one whole. The laptop as a supplier Beat it looked, however, by the keys. But that is based on precisely the heat that brings the album with it. You can feel the tranquility and passion, the joy of music making and fiddling. The result for me is to the last detail, the musical historical document that comes with every run a bit bulky. Almost like the wonderful process of making cotton candy. Each round a bit more around the backbone. And suddenly feels that a cloud of sugar, pinned to his face and wants to destroy anything in the world. In
Begone Dull Care need not have this fear, much more should we dip into a smile. For us as the very title of the panel suggests, is simply no place for his mouth down to draw. And because the eight songs speak for themselves anyway. Dreamland olé.
electro
The Sala LO * LI * TA was now the head, and the people close to each other. No wonder, read the set list but (almost) as the crème de la crème their discography. In spite of the craft, which they really seem to dominate, they can choose not to build bridges between songs. One thing that I had secretly expected. It was really wanted to believe more than one concert. After each number was inserted a good breather, tuned guitar, or possibly just trying to fight the seemingly in from everywhere shooting sweat. There were enough to do on stage. In this regard, I ran into a set that do not formulate the aptly could. - "The Junior Boys bring just about everything to sound, what's hot in the electronic straight"
celluloid
the title of the album, Begone Dull Care , they have the same short film Norman Mc Laren borrowed. This drawing was inspired by the sounds Oscar Petterson directly on the celluloid of the film, and thus created a colorful herumtänzelndes activity on the canvas. A seemingly timeless " music short film . That these have come about only with meticulous accuracy and endurance can that was for me to the first sighting obvious. The Junior Boys see between this short film of 1949 and their approach to create music in any case parallels. Coincidentally, this is just streaming in a few days as part of the Cine al Fresco in CCCB . But as I said, there are no coincidences, yes.
Banda Sonora
What it is, however: The morning after the night, and that this gave me his hand when I stumbled a bit dazed on the Carrer Almogàvers out. After a somewhat risky way home by bike and still "Count Souvenirs" in the ear then greeted me each morning and Know that the Junior Boys had written just with a golden pen a tribute concert in my fictional diary.
"Do not be sad, the summer lasts so yet - and we continue to be your soundtrack"
What a wonderful film!
way: I am currently in the marital dispute with my LOMO being were only two of the estimated 20-shot photos are burned into celluloid of the film ...... but now the signs back towards peace pipe!
