REVIEWS/////////////////////
Big band collaboration LP in the style of the Drapeau Noir album that pits a bunch of player associated with the free music scene around Lyons in France ? Motherfucking, I?m A Grizzly, Julien Dupont, Francois Virot, La 6eme Faute ? with members of the current crop of underground groups centered on Sheffield - Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides, Chora, Helhesten and Lanterns. In April 2008 the collective recorded a marathon five hour jam, of which this LP presents 35 minutes of highlights. The form ranges from obtuse NNCK-style navigations of the furthest fringes of form through lolloping almost International Harvester/Parson Sound-style psychedelic monoliths. (Volcanic Tongue)
You may not have heard of Faux Amis, but it seems to be an impromptu band around musicians from the scene in French city Lyon (including members of Motherfucking, I'm A Grizzly, Julien Dupont, Francois Virot, La 6eme Faute) and new heroes on the same musical block, from the UK, with members of Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides, Helhesten, Chora and Lanterns. Some of these might have been in Vital Weekly before, or perhaps I saw some of them somewhere (mainly the UK part of this, actually). Ten members of these bands came together on the 22nd of April 2008 and recorded a five hour jam, of which you will find about thirty-four minutes on this record. Recorder is placed in the middle and let's roll. Free rock improvisation, based around some loosely given tunes or cues (perhaps). Raw energy at work here, lo-fi recording at work too, but its all quite pleasant stuff. Think No Neck Blues-band type of music, but even more chaotic improvised. Quite nice.(FdW)
Extracts from recordings at Grrrnd Zero in Lyon, France from some of the most exciting improv guys around at the moment. Really strong package. (Colour Ride)
MOTHERFUCKING - UK TOUR CDR cdr // limited edition of 50 // ZEROJARDINS 2009
1 track, 29 min
Motherfucking went to the UK in August to play eleven concerts and I believe this CDR is their tour CD. They play one piece, almost twenty-nine minutes, which is very much along the lines of the Faux Amis LP, but better recorded. Here too improvisation plays a big part (I have no idea about the band line up, but there are drums, bass and guitars for sure), but things are stretched out a bit more. Motherfucking takes more time to develop their piece and sound also less chaotic than Faux Amis. Everything is almost pushing the loudest peak in sound, making this (also) to quite a noisy affair. The quality is, as said, much better, with more attention to the low end of the music. Quite a dense recording, and musically better than Faux Amis, but they share both the raw energy of improvised noise rock. (FdW)
All I could find out was this is a label from Lyon France which is into Folk, Free Improvisation, New Wave, Noise and some details of live performances. We have four tracks of improvised abstract sounds using real as opposed to electronic objects. It could be made using kitchen equipment - pots and pans with the string sound made with an egg slice but I suspect it's a guitar and drums.. and so these sounds rumble on like a slow goods train, I'm sure whoever made this was having fun and its quite fun to listen to. Oh - and the last track uses a wah wah so strike egg slice and replace guitar. And some electronics - but that's OK - it's as they once said 'groovy' (jliat)
