Dear all,
Robert Johnson has decided not to do any more gigs with Punchdrunks.
Paris and Chimay were the last ever live shows from Robert Johnson &
Punchdrunks. We'd like to say thank you for all the good times we've had.
This is not the end, though.
Robert Johnson & Punchdrunks will be concentrating on studio recording
instead of rolling out the multi-gear.
Punchdrunks would like to thank Link Wray and Solna...
Best wishes
Rob, Marse and Nedjmo
Imagine Link Wray in the curl as a trance artist and you get a sense of the darkness and danger of these soundscapes, as well as an idea of the structures found on this download release. Within you'll still hear Robert Johnson's surf roots, his worship of Link Wray, and his growing talent in dangerous hypnotic futurist sounds. This may be a long way off the beaten path for surf fans, but if you leave your purist hat at home, you just might dig these grooves. When I saw Surf Nazis Must Die at its Hollywood premier, I expected the soundtrack to sound like this. PHIL DIRT REVERB CENTRAL 2009
There’s a new RJaP in town but it’s not clear yet how it’ll be made available. As you know, the dissemination of music isn’t quite the same as it once was. There almost no deals to be made with conventional labels. The emergence of this situation makes it difficult to get stuff out there in a physical sense. Cost is the biggest hurdle, second only to the problem of getting any sort of profile. How does anybody find out that anything is actually out?
In addition to this, much "published" media is cut and paste. Opinion isn’t involved. I get bombarded with unsolicited mp3’s, most of which I don’t even open. Same with cds, There’s no room or time for stuff that I reckon will waste my and your time. A little quality control, I find, goes a long way.
So, I’ve written about Robert Johnson and his instro-antics many times. It should be taken as read that the guy is a stone genius. These latest recordings go under the heading of “100% Pot Success” and are the first to feature his work with Playboy-Marse. A seriously groovetastic bucketful of tunes, this is a two man crew with an ability to score imaginary movies like it used to take an entire orchestra. Throw in essence of Carpenter, Lynch/Badalamenti and Cluster and you’re beginning to sniff at the sonic sculptures the two have created. With titles such as “Good To See You Too Roky” (not to be construed as good to see U2, not funny in textspeak or otherwise) and “Don’t Touch That Dial Or I’ll Mangle Ya!!!” – what the hell’’s not to love. “Bollocks to Your Picnic Chit Chat” is a foray into Revl9n terrain with a full electronica assault. I think my favourite at this point is “Dub for Mrs Seigner”.
Word is that RJaP will appear in Stockholm with Bob Hund and Pascal in early May. That’ll be a hell of a night. Table cleared with the black straight into the top pocket everytime, RJaP delivers only premium rib rock action. Go here, hear ‘em for yourself. /LINDSAY HUTTON THE NEXT BIG THING BLOGSPOT 2009
