Christophe Clebard, a Belgian electronic musician, at the moment in Vancouver. His new cassette „Suce moi” will be released on 30th September by Canadian label Agony Klub.

Hard to categorize, but it is telling that he published music as Tucano on Italian NO=FI Recordings, home of strange other music (Hiroshima Rocks Around, Cheveu, Trouble Vs Glue, OvO, Dan Melchior, Maria Violencza and more). Of course RNR666 gave news from Tucano. Then I wrote about his music: psychedelic no wave disco with gothic and oriental moments. Then he used Italian, Polish and Englisn langueges, now he uses French. Some phrases what came to my mind by his brand new tape: minimal, electro, acid, techno, industrial, in 80s retro style, when the Belgian undergroung electronic scene was dominant. And it called a French music collective Grand Triple Alliance Internationale De L’Est to my mind, there are some similar acts like The Dreams, Klaus Legal or Cheveu.

At the beginning Peter Kernel was a quartet. Because of a broken heart and a new girlfriend during the time it has become an international team of friends around the world and two core members, Canadian Barbara Lehnhoff, and Swiss-Italian Aris Basetti.

On the drums now the number 7 member, Ema. „The first time we met Ema was in 2010 and we thought: “Naaa, he’s a 2 meter tall rasta playing drums in a metal band, he can’t be right for us”. From the latest album Thrill Addict on On The Camper Records

And there is Camilla Sparksss, electro noise wave alter-ego of Barbara. Short interview on rnr666.

In my mind there are some cases when a band suddenly changed radically its style. For example when hc/punk Beastie Boys changed to hip-hop in 1983. When new wave synth pop Ministry became an industrial metal act around 87. When Metallica lost himself in 90. When one of the most thrilling thrash metal bands Voivod made a psychedelic rock album Angel Rat in same year. When industrial band Laibach became a successful cover band first, and then became a synth-pop band during the years gradually. And now here is the long awaited new Lantern album Black Highways and Green Garden Roads. And as if it were made by an other band.

After their sensational wild rock’n’roll album they have released an easy, almost distortion free, sometimes dark psychedelic folk rock album, „taking ideas from the work of Hieronymus Bosch, Carl Sagan, and Mikhail Bulgakov”. „It’s an exploration of the natural world and the cosmos, and a celebration of the wonderful, the serious, and the absurd.” They also said that it’s a result of many oversteeped pots of black tea.

It was recorded at The Bottle Garden, a home studio in Montreal filled with vintage gear and an array of instruments during 22 non-sequential days over a year and a half in 2013/14. More so than previous recordings, it is a collaborative effort born of studio improvising and collective exploration. They used new, unfamiliar instruments, such as organ and kalimba, and they experimented with tape loops and group harmonies.

Really fine songs – except for the cover version of Solomon Burke’s Cry To Me from 1962. It’s a mistake, just like the Rolling Stones’ version. (Listen to the original one.) The songs come Roy Orbison, 60s Rolling Stones, psychedelic era Voivod, and Illés (Hungarian beat legend) to my mind. And there is the bass theme of Dead Kennedys’ Holiday in Cambodia in the song We Are Here:

But the album is too long. And unfortunately badly edited, so it is hard to listen from first to last. It would have been better if there an LP with 10 songs and an EP with 4 (He Is A Pinball; Wait, Wait; Cry To Me; We Are Here Again) had been released.

Those art movements shared individuality, autonomy, rebellion. However, punk, while having a visual side through fashion, record sleeves & fliers, was mainly about music. Dada & Surrealism was not only a visual art movement, but was also a revolt of everyday life with manifestos, pranks, and revolution that made a statement against the establishment and reason.” (US)

SKIP JENSEN GROUP

Az, hogy elhívjuk Skip Jensen-t (született Serge Gendron) koncertezni, azóta vágya az RNR666-nak, amióta az RNR666 koncert szervezéssel is foglalkozik, ennek lassan tíz éve. Skip Jensen január 29.-én három tagú zenekarával, a Skip Jensen Group-pal lép fel a Budapesten. Tavaly januárban adták ki első nagylemezüket, majd egy kislemezt, és készítettek egy videóklipet:

Saját meghatározásuk zenéjükre igen találó: Supersonic Rock’n’Roll. Bluesból, észak-amerikai folkból és persze jófajta elszabadult rock’n’roll-ból összegyúrt muzsika. Őszinte, egyszerű és tiszta, hasonlóan mint grafikai munkái, képregényei. Aki szereti az Oblivianst, a Bassholes-t vagy a The Mojomatics-et ezzel a koncerttel nem nyúlhat mellé. Ki is ő, honnan indult? Kicsit bővebben. Tovább / Read more »
