L’evento di inditronica dell’anno con membri di Lali Puna e The Notwist!!!!
Non c’è altro da aggiungere, tre band per una serata indimenticabile
Rayon is the solo project of Markus Acher, known from bands such as the Notwist, Lali Puna or Tied and Tickled Trio and co-founder of the influential label Alien Transistor. The project sees him interweaving cello arrangements, guitars and vibraphones with reduced electronic fragments to tracks that Acher himself describes as “electronic chamber music”.
JOASIHNO. It’s been a while since Joasihno dropped the first EP “Papiertonnentigertum” (2009) and the debut album We Say: Oh Well (2011), and so it’s great to see that the spirit of DIY is still vehemently blowing from all sides across the “rectangular fields” of northern Bavaria. And just like the first rays of sunlight are about to return to the barren fields when A Lie finally sees its release, the sonic snapshots and moments gathered on this album are humming like an old-school slide show – in fact you can almost feel the shimmering air against the skin.
Saroos. Compared to their earlier albums, the beat seems so unrestrained that the sound has sufficient room. Sometimes jungle-electro-exotica wobbles through the undergrowth of sound in elliptic circles (“Willow”), sometimes the foghorn strikes up a savage dub (“Seadance”), as if King Tubby was circulating through the analogue nirvana after a particularly massive spliff. This makes the album not only more organic, but also more social. More man, less machine. When guests came round in the studio, the samplers remained turned off. This, of course, leaves marks. Not all as big as Fenster’s Tadklimp, who contributed a bagful of sounds and had his fingers on the mixing console. Whoever expected a jam album from Saroos? But this is it.
