ITALIANS - HIS CLANCYNESS & BANJO OR FREAKOUT - ON THE PHONE

2009-09-23T07:45:00.000-07:00

Alesso Natalizia, who records as ‘Banjo or Freakout’, the sonic sultan who can effortlessly turn the avant and experimental sounds he works with in to life effecting pop songs. Embracing everything from woozy old folk to dubstep, most notably on his cover of Burial's 'Archangel'. He releases through "totally on it" labels like No Pain In Pop and Half Machine Records.

Jonathan Clancy, the Canadian Italian has been a sturdy feature of the music scene in his Bolognan home, and on both sides of the Atlantic with his musical projects such as 'A Classic Education', and now in his slimmed down to one ‘His Clancyness’ a guitar and sample, faded pop project, which sees him sample and cover blog favorites such as Nite Jewel and Wavves.

These two old Italian friends chat over the phone about how location has effected their musical paths. The outside influence of Anglo and American music and remember a time before the internet, a time where it was harder to be heard in the wider world, but where you were more likely to create musical bonds over a bowl of pasta. Let's eavesdrop on their phone call and discover a little bit more about them, how they operate and if Italians really do, do it better!

NO PAIN IN POP / UNDERWATER PEOPLES.

2009-09-11T09:45:00.000-07:00

This is the first in a series called New Breed, about the young labels and artists doing stuff, and getting excited, in the wonderfully unstable and unpredictable Music Industry.

We got our favorite purveyors of music from our own shores ‘No Pain In Pop‘ to converse with our favorite jam-out label in the US ‘Underwater Peoples‘ via the old interweb; the very same device that has been instrumental in building and sustaining both their respective projects.

Through their MP3 blogs and developed online communities NPIP and UWP have unleashed beautiful collections of music and live shows that have really walloped people world wide. Some of the music I have been most excited about in recent times have come from one of these two parties, weather it be informed recommendations or beautiful physical releases for bands including Telepathe, HEALT, Nite Jewel, Banjo or Freakout and Gentle Friendly, all through NPIP. Or Ducktails, Real Estate, Julian Lynch and Family Portrait all on Underwater Peoples Records.

The boys discuss having your heart in the right place for putting out music, future developments in internet music sharing, and turntable performance pieces. I’m not going to say that out of date music execs and major labels should take note of this, this is not a get out clause to save the industry as we know it, but it should maybe be a reminder that being excited about music and pushing it forward in a creative way should be the be all and end all… Fuck money!

2009-08-16T11:57:00.000-07:00

GENTLE FRIENDLY - RIP STATIC/CLEAN BREAKER.

The double D’s Gentle Friendly’s Daniel and David are back with an album coming out on Upset The Rhythm on the 19th of October.

Here is a wee taster of the vast sound this duo have been producing on their South London sound farm. Im excited to say that they seem to have found a way of taming the wild beast that is them playing live and trap it for eternity within these recordings. Both tracks sure have real live trampoline bounce to them, see pic for proof.

TEENGIRL FANTASY - PORTOFINO.

This song immediately gives me that all encompassing feeling that tends to set in at about six in the morning when the drugs have run out, and after a terrifying walk through the denizens of your no longer familiar neighborhood, you crawl in to your unkept bed, assess your life and will sleep to set in…

But in a good way of course.

ABE VIGODA - DON'T LIE.

Dont Lie is the first track on the new Abe Vigoda EP, Reviver, which is on Bella Union. It’s a glimpse in to the slightly more melodic accessible Abe Vigoda, although they are still in keeping with The Smell that nourished them, remaining wonderfully off kilter and degenerate.

Much like this particularly awe-inspiring kid I went to school with, “Don’t Lie” was his catchphrase – he would hold you by the ears and command you not to lie, before eating multi-coloured biros and running out the classroom to scale up the walls of the corridor, wailing at all the inept teachers: revolution was in the air. He was kind of a hero to me, now I think about it.

SMITH WESTERNS – BE MY GIRL.

Be My Girl – Giving more then just a little nod to T-Rex and the guy we are not aloud to talk about anymore, you know… perfectly rhymes with shitter and bitter! Also Spector era Ramones, the list could go on but of course everything is derivative, in fact I prefer to think everything is hybrid.

That aside, check out your immanent enjoyment of the massive chorus, truly amazing Nirvana bootleg artwork and knowledge that you are listening to young skinny cool kids from Chicago and not 70-year-old kiddie touchers.

SIAN ALICE GROUP – CLOSE TO THE GROUND.

Sian Alice Group return with second album ‘Troubled, Shaken, etc.’ due out on the always impeccable Social Registry label.

Sian Ahern’s voice once again soothing the soul whilst sitting on top of a dark and building, trancey, tribal stomp and melody. You know how that Q lazzarus’s ‘Goodbye Horses’ is kind of cool and danceable but still induces total fear due to it’s synonymity with ‘Silence of the Lambs’…? Well ‘Close to The Ground’ is destined to find its place in a psychological horror movie in a scene involving possessed and rabid wild boar running through the dusk toward the orphanage. That’s my prediction anyway.

RAINBOW BRIDGE - BIG WAVE RIDER.

As far as i am aware Olympia, Washington is not a scuzzy beach hang, the closest thing they have to weed tooting bikini girls with titty tattoos are repressed Governers’ daughters skipping book club to go blow the vocalist of the local Christian rock band.

That said, California dreaming is healthy fodder for epic escapist tracks like this here ‘Big Wave Rider’ by Rainbow Bridge, taking you on the short journey from the back of the van and towards the shore line, skipping the risky hyperdermic needle and condom debris the ocean has spewed inland.

R. STEVIE MOORE.

2009-08-16T11:29:00.000-07:00

Long before the redundant sound recording device tape cassette had its resurgence as a symbol of lo-fi loving and grungy nostalgia, and well before Guided By Voices transferred from a laughable mom’s basement band to the t-shirts of 18 year olds at ATP, and certainly long long before sweet FM friendly melodies bent double with fuzzed up recording worked as the new shit for Ariel Pink. There was R. Stevie Moore, the ‘out there’ pop visionary, musical rebel who left a home in Nashville with his studio owner and Elvis affiliated father for the glamour of home recording and avant garde public-access style TV.

The charming little tags of DIY, Indie and Lo-Fi of which Moore has become known for but not always a credited pioneer of probably don’t enthuse him that much after his 40 odd years of music release history. He is famous for not being famous, and as baffled as the rest of us as to why.

REAL ESTATE INTERVIEW FOR DAZED.

2009-05-29T04:35:00.000-07:00

With the evenings becoming mild enough for showing your ankles, and the sound of the cities sirens fading behind you whilst walking through suburban fields, toward the meat smoke and sound of beer cans being shotgunned. Now is the time for Real Estate!

And no! I’m not talking property investment, although according to Martin Courtney’s business card, he could help you with a semi detached if you’re looking in the New Jersey area.

Real Estate the day job and Real Estate the band. Martin Courtney and his hi-school bros, Etienne, Bleeker, Matt (Ducktails). “ We were always kind of like best buddies. We got each other into all sorts of music and trouble… although the band wasn’t properly started until after we all finished studying and moved back to Jersey”.

A style filtered through Flying Nun Records pop and McCartney’s ‘Frozen Jap’ period, persuasively manifested in to a coherent lazy summer sound, complete with track titles seemingly lifted from a ‘What I did this summer’ titled school class speech… ‘Pool Swimmers’, ‘Suburban Dogs’, ‘Beach Comer’ and ‘Black Lake’ all of which exhaustively dream like. In Martins words “The songs are generally written with a nostalgic, backyard, neighbourhood vibe in mind”

The radar is taking some time out to shift its scope from New York to New Jersey with a spate of bands coming from the historically music rich area, I'm thinking The Boss, Bon and La Tengo.

“We were lucky to have grown up where we did because it seemed like everyone was into music. The next town over from ours was Glen Rock, which is where Titus Andronicus are from” Martin’s song writing teeth were cut writing songs with members of Titus who are currently leading the pack with UK visits and record deals (Merok/XL) “We have heard a surprising amount from people in the UK. We are putting out a UK single on Half Machine records… the UK and US music scenes have always seemed kind of connected, and the Internet has only made that more apparent”

I don’t want to go ahead and call this a ‘scene’ or ‘trend’, I like the idea of a group of friends feeding off each other to much to go ahead and do that, as does Martin, “Im mainly inspired by my friends' music just seeing what they are capable of. It is inspiring to genuinely be in awe of a track and know the person that made it and be able to find out how they did it”.

The people at Underwater Peoples Records have a compilation featuring both Real Estate and band member Matt Mondanile’s instrumental solo project Ducktails, as well as a host of other sun-jammer’s, such as Julian Lynch. These guys are quite rightly littered across the blogosphere at the moment sound-tracking the season with their tape-fuzz-tropical-low-fi-'cadelic intonation.

Keep watching for hopeful news on a UK visit and releases.

ONLINE PARTY BOYS - KILLING TIME.

2009-03-30T11:57:00.000-07:00

Back in the OPB days!

Working in the online department for a popular clothing brand was not the most exciting job I have ever done, not by any stretch of the imagination. The feeling was unanimous with my immediate colleagues and most days would end up in total hysteric delirium through boredom, therefore some time was spent frantically defacing CV's submitted, writing dumb notes to each other and generally just gathering stupid prints that made sense to whatever in-joke we had that day. I cant post all the stuff I collected, as some offence might be caused.

REAL ESTATE.

2009-03-30T10:44:00.000-07:00

How strange a tool the internet can be from time to time. A print originally stolen from Associated Press archives in New York, makes it journey across water to me in London, and 4 years later it is posted on this blog before it is digitally sent back to East Coast America to make it's home on the cover for New Jersey based band Real Estate's tour CD.

2009-02-23T09:46:00.000-08:00

Digging through old prints I found my old pics of the legendry Harold Hunter. These were taken in an Indian restaurant in NYC a couple of months before he sadly passed away... 3 years ago this month. A true good guy who looked out for me on one of my first NYC visits.

JOCKO WEYLAND - AN OLD FORGOTTEN PACKAGE.

2009-01-12T16:31:00.000-08:00

A few years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Jocko Weyland in NYC after some bouts of transatlantic Zine swapping.

Jocko was at the time working at Associated Press in the photo archive department and he managed outwit the security in the Manhattan skyscraper to take me on a tour of the filed prints where he got a lot of the material for ELK zine. I seem to remember folders titled things like 'Weird Fish' and 'The KKK 1936-1949'

The Rin Tin-Tin photo (below) was stolen from said archive and shipped to me along with other random paper artifacts. I'm going to scan the lot and post them up here so check back for some other 2D delights.

Check: www.elkzine.com and Jocko's super short fiction somewhere on the Vice website.
