We got together sometime in the 90s. We practice a lot, but we're lazy when it comes to writing songs. we used to have lennie, a terrific vocalist, but he was fed up abusing his throat. New stuff expected at the end of the year.
Op vridag 11 december presenteert Laterax Recordings twee nieuwe albums van twee zeer verschillende artiesten. Om 21:30 speelt de atmospherische Nijmegse indie-outfit The Netherlands nummers van hun nieuwe CD "We Are Not...". Om 22:30 is het de beurt aan Koko Cohen, die zal trakteren op de eerste presentatie van zijn tweede CD Bozophobia, samen met een speciale korte film. De Haagse singer-songwriter Arno Loriaux begint de nacht om 20:00 en wordt gevolgd door Rotterdamse indierockers Politics. Afterparty met DJ's en gedans tot de koeien thuiskomen.
We've never been able to quite pin down exactly what it is that The Hunter Gracchus do, which is a wonderful thing. A shifting unit with Syed Kamran Ali, Fiona Marshall and Jon Marshall at the core, they have recently settled into a fairly stable unit of six, but it's hard to know how long that'll last. Still, while it does, it's producing all manner of magical and highly unexpected performances. The one captured here was recorded at the band's practice room cum gig space, Fagin's Hideout/The Furniture Makers and is a less blistering freakout than some of their recent output, preferring to quietly explore every nook of tonal space. It simmers rather than erupts and, the longer you become immersed in it, the less aware you become of the passage of time. It's a recording that feels like it should go on forever and, when it does come to a close, the silence is shocking. In a time when it's all too easy for a group of improvisers to just go full-tilt in some euphoric pursuit, the Hunter Gracchus provides us with a glowing alternative that draws us slowly in and drowns our senses. This is truly awesome.
Peeesseye I Woke Up and Drank a Bottle of Cheap Kojak CDR
Peeesseye made the scene at Dylan Nyoukis's Colour Out of Space festival last summer and hopped over to Manchester to play a show at the Town Hall Tavern, the recording of which forms the content of this incredible slab of dense droning harmonium, scraping, buzzing, subtly soloing guitar and pulse-free, scatter-drumming. We can't recommend this enough. Limited to 80 copies.
Niks geen Normaal Amsterdams Peil. Hier hoor je de primaire klanken van talentvol Nederland en Vlaanderen. 't Is van 2 t/m 4 april in A'dam te doen: Sonic Connections! Pop en Rock der lage landen
This beautiful super-heavyweight LP, which comes packaged in a sweet full-colour sleeve reunites the UK's premier free drummer Alex Neilson, who's played, amongst others, with Motor Ghost, Directing Hand, Trembling Bells, Tight Meat Duo, Josephine Foster, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Jandek, MV&EE, Richard Youngs, Baby Dee and Alastair Galbraith, with Nmperign member Greg Kelley, whose reinvention of the trumpet is as crucial now as Anthony Braxton's reinvention of the sax was 30 years ago. A screeching, soaring, scattergun array of noises come maniacally out of Greg's horn, unlike anything we've ever heard and, with the addition of random stabs of electronics, he successfully straddles no wave, concrete and free jazz in a way that makes those genres seem like trite pigeonholes.
