see all shows here....

' a melange of improv rock, electronics and pan-global ethno-forgeries as practised by Ege Bamyasi-era Can, enjoyable as well as acquainted with the farther reaches of sound' (UK/Rock-a rolla)

' A ride worth taking!' (UK/Q Magazine)

' so simultaneously tremulous and brave it makes me want to heave big, gulping cathartic sobs...' (UK/Plan B)

' if the idea of 70's italian session guys popping up Can for a soft-porn crime movie soundtrack appeals then this is for you. (UK/Mojo)

' NLF3, je t'aime' (Bearded Magazine)

' Ride on a brand new Time' installe au fil des écoutes une addiction, qui en dit long sur la sincérité et la violence de ses intentions et remet la musique au centre du monde, là où ouir et jouir ne sont qu'un meme mot'(les inrockuptibles/fev.2009)

' une maturité etonnante et une culture tous azimuts, une musique à la fois primitive et savante sur laquelle on aimera autant rêver que danser ' (Trax/Avril 2009)

' NLF3 efface les epoques et les frontieres, passant allègrement de l'afrobeat au krautrock. Une ode à la liberté en somme.' (Noise/Avril 2009)

viva!

by Martin Longley

The French NLF3 have been together for a decade. Between them they share a pool of keyboards, guitars, bass and drums. They also run their own Prohibited label. Although he had doubtless prefer to be credited as sound recordist, producer F.Lor has previously been noted for his work with Yann Tiersen and Dirty Three. The NLF3 espouse brevity as an art form, presnting a spangled sequence of continualy shifting miniatures. Detail is a virtue, the trio's personal toyscape infatuated with blips and blops, all things that chime, burble or ping, with pourring analogue textures running across what amounts to a conventional instrumental core.
Like a kitch This Heat, they merge grooves and improvisatory trimmings, making a playful exploration of junked instruments, or a least faking such activities with samplers. The mix of live and looped elements spreads and shunts sounds across an extreme stereo field, the tiny details of peripherical chatter often just as interesting as the central chatter. "Orfeu" might begin as an Afro-froth pulse, but it is abruptly derailed by a fally-disc scramble, then switches to a castrato sex funk loop. On "My Horses Never Run", it could be Chris Cutler or Jaki Liebezeit drumming. Again, in a moment of potential commerciality, "John C & JLG on a Boat" has a worringly serrated guitar solo, while just about everything on "An The Chalk Breaks" is distorted in the extreme. The NLF3 (trio) manage to filter their prime infuences into a unique sound of their own, a higly sensitive approach of the very essence of tone, texture and rythm. Few groups are so consistently interesting."
*From 1999 till late 2005, NLF3's drummer was Ludovic Morillon.
Jean Michel Pires is the new trio's drummer.
