			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Sarà un incolonnamento particolarmente favorevole d&#8217;astri, ma una serie di nuove uscite mi spinge, anzi obbliga, a partorire svariati posts estivi. Speriamo gli astri reggano in tale posizione e che i post d&#8217;Antifona si facciano più regolari.</p>
<p>Torniamo alla pappa e partiamo (quasi) da dove avevam lasciato: <strong>Mary Hampton</strong>.</p>
<p>Lo si aspettava per l&#8217;estate dell&#8217;anno scorso il suo primo album ufficiale (due mini albums autoprodotti sono disponibili <a title="Mary Hampton @ MySpace" href="http://www.myspace.com/maryhampton" target="_blank">qui</a>  e s&#8217;intitolano semplicemente Book One e Book Two), invece l&#8217;attesa s&#8217;è allungata un bel pò ma, come si dice in questi casi, ne valeva la pena.</p>
<p>L&#8217;11 Agosto scorso per i fortunati residenti londinesi (ed eventuali infiltrati vacanzieri) s&#8217;è tenuto il concerto di presentazione di My Mother&#8217;s Children: non so che avrei dato per esserci.</p>
<p>Il perchè di tanta enfasi? Beh, forse questo video:</p>
<p><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://antifona.wordpress.com/2008/08/13/mary-hampton-my-mothers-children/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/TX-IIbuaWhA/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p>può dire molto di più di tante parole. Per chi scrive comunque parlare d&#8217;un Jeff Buckley in gonnella non è eresia. Dopo l&#8217;enorme revival folk statunitense (vedi Espers, Devendra, Jana Hunter, etc.) ora tocca all&#8217;Inghilterra. Non pensate però ad ispirazioni modaiole: se nel caso statunitense &#8211; proprio per una questione di numeri &#8211; molti cantautori o gruppi spariranno senza lasciar gran traccia, in pochi anni, Mary è destinata a rimanere. Questa è musica senza tempo.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Già.. mesi, ma questa pure è, a modo suo, costanza. Dilatata ma pur sempre costanza. S&#8217;è così accumulata un pò di musicaglieria di cui parlare: non tantissima, ma neppure poca.</p>
<p>Cominciamo con i vecchi debiti: primo tra tutti <strong><em>Songs of My Lap</em></strong>ovvero il progetto solitario di <em>Alex Hancock</em>. 2 album e 3 EP (il primo dei quali col vecchio moniker Hytra Waters Elbow) usciti per la gloriosa Unlabel (gloriosa se non altro per averci regalato quest&#8217;uomo). Fragili piccoli acquerelli e la totale disarmante sincerità che tanto piace agli ominidi. <strong>The Prize</strong> è uscito quasi da poco, è il secondo lavoro &#8216;lungo&#8217;, benchè i 10 pezzi contenuti siano tutti piuttosto brevi, squisita esigenza espressiva. Esiste almeno per ora in 200 copie e, garantito, al club dei 200 freaks val la pena d&#8217;iscriversi.</p>
<p>Primo capolavoro del 2008? &#8211; <strong><em>Why? &#8216;Alopecia&#8217;</em></strong>.<strong><em> </em></strong> Bello tutto, dall&#8217;inizio alla fine. La scrittura e le melodie son a fuoco come non mai, l&#8217;anima pop ironica di Yoni indomita come sempre. E soprattutto c&#8217;è quel pezzo che dice &#8220;Ho giocato a scacchi solo una volta in vita mia, ed ho perso&#8221;.</p>
<p>Secondo capolavoro del 2008? Beh.. son tornati i <strong><em>Portishead</em></strong>. Cosa dire, io dopo aver amato alla follia ed alla nausea <em>Dummy,</em> ero rimasto un pochino scottato e poi raffreddato sulle successive uscite. Qualche bel pezzo ma tanta &#8211; questa fu l&#8217;impressione &#8211; voglia/necessità di cavalcare il cavallone ed arrivare, almeno economicamente, il più lontano possibile. Non è forse per caso che poi è seguito un sì lungo silenzio. L&#8217;altra sera m&#8217;affaccio su MTV per sbaglio, tardi tardi e&#8230; tòh, beccati sta raffica di mitra. Ominide crivellato sulla poltrona. Machine gun è fenomenale. E&#8217; coraggio puro, sfrontatezza, è &#8216;fan culo&#8217; il cavallone, è secca, asciutta, è spiazzante, avanguardia e classe, è sperimentazione, è &#8217;siamo così, prendere o lasciare&#8217;. Prendo, cazzo, prendo. Prendetene tutti.

<p>Anyway&#8230; here we are with a couple of those &#8216;details&#8217; that your usual pusher/webzine/magazine/shop/radio won&#8217;t notice or even know at all.</p>
<p>First of all: <strong><em>Branie</em></strong>. Branie? Branie. The new creature of beloved <strong><em>Jürgen De Blonde</em></strong> aka <strong><em>Köhn</em></strong> aka <font size="2">Ed Nolbed </font>or simply Jürgen De Blonde if you prefere, one of the most imaginative &#8211; creative &#8211; innovative belgian musicians out there or simply musicians, if you prefere. Jürgen sits this time with 5 individuals with a classical background: violin, violoncello, french horn, contrabas &amp; saxophone. Results? Music for images, images in music, soundtracks for your favourite nostalgic nature (lost) documentaries. Those like us having a second heart for Rachel&#8217;s, Manyfingers &amp; Sylvain Chauveau will love this stuff. Oh yess.</p>
<p>The rumours: <strong><em>Timonium</em></strong> nearly ready. Even if a kind of diaspora took place and just the half of the band still lives in L.A. the new album (the new LONG AWAITED album) should be out by this fall. Here&#8217;s the band last post on MySpace: &#8220;adam g moved to phoenix. aaron moved to frisco. there are only 2 timonium boys in los angeles now. we are going to finish the new album with jim after he finishes his album. we will find a theremenist to complete our pram cover in los angeles (i don&#8217;t know where). maybe we can tour then. we have the bass and drums down on tape now, soon we will have the choirs and other instruments completed. maybe by fall&#8230;&#8221;. Somehow that&#8217;s a good new <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Some &#8216;news flash&#8217; to cover such a long silence:</p>
<p>- <em><strong>Drag City</strong></em> goes &#8216;world&#8217; with the new <em><strong>Yaala Yaala</strong></em> imprint. That&#8217;s the creature of Jack Carneal back to US after some years in Mali. He found out that <em>Ali Farka Toure</em> and friends are &#8216;export only&#8217; shit.. Malians do listen and play something else. 3 albums out, all artists from Mali, we definitely suggest <em><strong>Pekos / Yoro Diallo</strong></em> for some intriguing african hours.  PS.there&#8217;s a beautiful <em><strong>Mick Turner</strong></em> fresh song up right now&#8230;new album in July.</p>
<p>- <em>MySpace</em> ooh <em>MySpace</em>! Maybe it&#8217;s because of our absolute devotion to <em>Transmission</em> (and <em>Love will tear us apart</em> and so on..), maybe it&#8217;s because of our weakness for covers (<em>JD</em> covers even better), maybe it&#8217;s because le freak sometimes c&#8217;est chic but.. we love <em><strong>Jäh Division</strong></em> (aka members of Home &amp; Oneida playing dub psychadelic renditions of Joy Division).</p>
<p>- How could we possibly not mention the magnificent <em>Atlas</em> by the <em><strong>Battles</strong></em>? Mantra for the call center generation. For sure in the top ten singles of 2007 &amp; 100% best video of the year (except further miracles). PS. the whole album is worth your money, time &amp; forniture.</p>
<p>- <em>Le Livre noir du Capitalisme</em> [2000] and <em>Nocturne Impalpable</em> [2001] by the great <em><strong>Sylvain Chauveau</strong></em> will be reissued on <em><strong>Type Records</strong></em> (UK) this fall and @ the beginning of 2008. Sylvain is one of those few musicians you&#8217;d better have everything&#8230; A new EP called simply <em>S.</em> will be out in September (always <em>Type Rec</em>). As per <em>SC</em> own description: an impromptu suite of five minimal pieces for prepared guitar, electronics, piano (and discreet, background vocals).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><img align="left" width="200" src="http://a408.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/46/l_833ec3a34ad6602a2da0ba38b7d3d9f7.jpg" hspace="5" alt="Birdengine 'I Fed The Rabbit Water'" height="200" style="width:200px;height:200px;" />Fuochi nel bel mezzo della notte: il 2007 continua a stupire almeno quanto il 2006 è stato uno degli anni musicalmente più infausti che memoria di &#8216;giovine&#8217; ricordi.<br />
Luccicano, stavolta nello sterminato-avvincente immondezzaio di MySpace, due verdi smeraldi: beatamente accoccolati presso la (da ora in poi) splendida <em><strong>Drift Records</strong></em> di <em>Devon</em> (south UK) intravediamo nella bruma <em>Lawry Joseph <strong>Birdengine</strong> Tilbury III</em> (mica cazzi) e la dolce <em><strong>Mary Hampton</strong></em>.<br />
Ci muoviamo in ambiti prettamente folk o se preferite post folk (o weird or whatever): per entrambi scarne coreografie (chitarra &amp; diavolerie per B., più classicamente piano o archi per M.) e due voci che ci piacciono parecchio. Nel piano di <em><strong>Mary</strong></em> tracce di <em>Cindy Dall</em>, nella sua voce persino (rari) riflessi di <em>Joanna Newsom</em> ma senza quel tono bambinesco che talvolta indispone.<br />
Dice di lei The Guardian: &#8220;a woman who appears to have spent much of her life attempting to imitate the shimmer of wind-chimes. The effect is mesmerizing&#8221;. (&#8220;una donna che pare aver speso buona parte della vita ad imitare il tremolio delle campane a vento. L&#8217;effetto è ipnotico&#8221;)<br />
Nei suoni di <em><strong>Birdengine</strong></em> vaghi richiami ai <em>TUNNG</em> ma assolutamente senza la ruffianeria di questi ultimi (e la loro gratuita cianfrusaglia elettronica stile Morr), echi dell&#8217;ultimo <em>Matt Elliott</em> e soprattutto armonie vocali davvero uniche. Cito alla rinfusa dalle fonti d&#8217;ispirazione del nostro: <em>Picastro</em>, <em>Smog</em> &amp; <em>Oldham</em>, i cori del folklore russo, fotografie seppia in vecchie cornici, <em>Werner Herzog</em> ed <em>Edward Gorey</em>.<br />
Avvicinato da alcuni a <em>Daniel Johnston</em> (saltiamo di palo in frasca insomma, buonsegno), Lawry ha registrato l&#8217;intero album da solo su di un taperecorder a 4 piste.<br />
Andy Gill dell&#8217;Independent descrive &#8220;I Fed Thee Rabbit Water&#8221; (uscito il 5 febbraio, ndr) come meglio non si potrebbe: &#8220;….like visiting a museum of curiosities packed with shelves of malformed foetuses and two-headed dogs pickled in jars; the songs are full of rustic-mythic weirdness.&#8221; (&#8221; ..come visitare un museo delle curiosità, scaffali stipati di vasi con feti malformati e cani a due teste, le canzoni sono zeppe di bizzarria rustico-mitologica.&#8221;)<br />
Complimenti al sig. Gill per l&#8217;immagine e complimenti naturalmente al sig.<em>Tilbury</em> per i suoni.<br />
Poco altro da aggiungere: due album splendidi, imperdibili, uno già disponibile come detto, l&#8217;altro, in arrivo forse a maggio, è ancora senza titolo &amp; copertina.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><img align="left" width="300" src="http://www.austinchronicle.com/binary/4cf7a6bc/music_feature-30518.jpeg" hspace="5" alt="Bill Smog Callahan" height="199" style="width:300px;height:199px;" />With all the due respect (well yes, when you talk about Smog respect comes first) I&#8217;m not enjoying the Whaleheart as I did with the lovely &#8216;A River&#8230;&#8217;.<br />
This album brings me back to Supper which I almost &#8216;refused&#8217; @ the very beginning and started to appreciate &#8211; not fully thou &#8211; later on. The &#8216;hit&#8217; is present: but there&#8217;s something unusually &#8216;obviuos&#8217; about Diamond Dancer&#8230; (1st single).<br />
Whale sounds to my european taste, a bit like Supper, as a try / will to pursue some calssicism or standards (successful with &#8216;A man needs a woman or a man&#8217;, an instant classic) of the american tradition (country? gospel? american light opera?) that I cannot completely enjoy or appreciate.<br />
There&#8217;s a sort of AC/DC (not the band) in the last albums, arrangements and even melody wise: Rain was &#8216;dark&#8217;, intimate &amp; porno, Supper was an initial technicolor attempt to a new-retro, River again black &amp; white, burnt &amp; dry, and now the colors of Whale (even if the cover has been changed). I must say that, about colors, I miss the spontaneous freedom of Wild Love.<br />
In other words: there&#8217;s a Bill looking this time at his roots &amp; country (he once mentioned the Electric Light Orchestra in an interview) and a Smog looking some other times at himself. The first has a message for people sharing the same background (mostly americans), the 2nd has one for everybody. The two of them switch regularly and give us an album each.</p>
<p>This album might capture new disciples to the church of father Callahan. I personally hope the next will bring us back to an empty afternoon cathedral, in the secrecy of confessional.</p>
<p>Strongest point this time: the piano<br />
Best songs: &#8216;Honeymoon Child&#8217; &amp; &#8216;Night&#8217;</p>
<p>Buying recommended to long term fans only (those who are going to buy it anyway).</p>
<p><font color="#ff0000">- &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; ITA - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - -</font><font color="#008000"> </font></p>
<p><font color="#008000">Con tutto il dovuto rispetto (quando si parla di Smog il rispetto è quantomeno dovuto) premetto che non me lo sto gustando questo Whaleheart così come è stato per l&#8217;incantevole &#8216;A River..&#8217;.<br />
Quest&#8217;album mi riporta a Supper che all&#8217;inizio quasi rifiutai in toto salvo poi parzialmente rivalutare. L&#8217; &#8216;hit&#8217; come sempre non manca: ma c&#8217;è qualcosa di insolitamente ovvio a proposito di Diamond Dancer (primo singolo estratto).<br />
Whale suona a queste orecchie europee, un pò à la Supper, come un tentativo / volontà (peraltro riuscito, almeno in &#8216;A man needs a woman..&#8217; &#8211; classico istantaneo) di inseguire certi standards della tradizione Americana (country? gospel? american light opera?) che non posso appieno apprezzare, vuoi per cultura, vuoi per i risultati.<br />
Gli ultimi albums riflettono una sorta di corrente alternata, negli arrangiamenti e nelle melodie: Rain On Lens, oscuro &amp; pronograficamente intimo, Supper, primo pallido arcobaleno di nuovo retrò, River di nuovo bianco &amp; nero, ustionato e asciutto ed ora i colori di Whale (copertina apparte). Se a proposito di colori devo ammettere di sentire la mancanza della spontanea libertà di Wild Love, a ben vedere forse una sorta d&#8217;alternanza c&#8217;è sempre stata nell&#8217;ispirazione di Bill Callahan.<br />
In altre parole: emerge stavolta un Bill che guarda alle sue radici ed al suo paese (menzionava qualche anno fa l&#8217;Electric Light Orchestra in un&#8217;intervista) a contrappuntare uno Smog che guarda a se stesso. Il primo, Bill, ha un messaggio per l&#8217;America, il secondo, Smog, ha un messaggio per l&#8217;umanità tutta. I due si danno il cambio e ci passano un album a testa.<font color="#008000"> </font><font color="#008000">Questo lavoro potrebbe conquistare nuovi fedeli ai sermoni di padre Callahan, soprattutto oltreoceano. Personalmente mi auguro che il prossimo ci riporti nella cattedrale vuota del pomeriggio, al segreto del confessionale. </font></font><font color="#008000"><font color="#008000">Punto di forza: il pianoforte<br />
Canzoni meritevoli: Honeymoon Child e Night </font></font><font color="#008000"><font color="#008000">Acquisto consigliato ai soli fan di lunga data (che l&#8217;avrebbero preso comunque).</font></font></p>

Trattasi di quell&#8217;ammucchiata di emozionante freschezza che risponde al nome di Hypnotic Brass Ensemble.  Ammucchiata poichè trattasi di otto bravi ragazzi, nello specifico fratelli, figli di un monumento chiamato Phil Cohran (Sun Ra Arkestra, Artistic Heritage Ensemble), ammucchiata di fiati (sette + batteria) che tra tube e trombe son necessari per forgiare questo suono pulsante, vivissimo, che si sradica dalla strada e ti arriva in casa con addosso l&#8217;odore della metro, di frittura e body shop. Partito da Chicago, quasi inevitabilmente newyorkese d&#8217;adozione, l&#8217;HBE sta ricucendo l&#8217;abito del jazz per restituirlo alle boutique con nuove taglie e linee, quelle dell&#8217;oggi e dell&#8217;adesso. Ci sono ritmiche hip hop, ci sono Sun Ra &amp; Reich, in accattivanti melodie mai ruffiane o scontate. Se in altri ambiti ci sono artisti che già propongono la musica di domani, questo suono è come nessun altro il presente, per il &#8216;contemporaneo&#8217; che non vuol lasciar vincere il disgusto o la rassegnazione un momento da vivere subito, ora,  con la certezza &amp; il piacere di ricordarlo forse per sempre.</p>
<p>War / Mercury è quasi sicuramente l&#8217;ultimo lavoro autoprodotto dagli 8 fratelli Cohran.</p>

Vedremo, scalzarlo sarà dura comunque e per chiunque: trattasi come ovvio di Thee More Shallows approdati sull&#8217;Anticon pigliatutto. Sfornano il loro lavoro più ruvido (è il terzo, gli altri 2 sono capolavori imperdibili, entrambi si-si, vergognosamente trascurati in Italia e non solo, appropriatevene a qualsiasi costo) e meno &#8217;sinfonico&#8217;.  L&#8217;EP Monkey vs. Shark (quello dell&#8217;incredibile cover di &#8216;I can&#8217;t get next to you&#8217; dei Temptations) che ha preceduto di qualche mese questo Book Of Bad Breaks lasciava presagire una sorta di cromatura: ecco quindi ritmiche più spigolose &amp; meno archi. Accostarli ai Grandaddy è ancora possibile, stesso dicasi per Yo La Tengo e ora forse pure gli Arcade Fire ma il fatto è che i TMS li riconosci dalla prima nota&#8230; Impennate &amp; carpenteria, cioccolata &amp; sorprese, non una nota infilata &#8216;tanto per riempire&#8217;, conciso (&#8217;solo&#8217; 38 minuti) e secco eppure ardimentoso, schifosamente moderno. Con tanto di conclusivo omaggio a Laurie Anderson, come l&#8217;etichetta insegna, nelle famiglie buone. Sono in tournee europea (la band è di San Francisco) e all&#8217;Italia non passano neppure vicino.. fatalità. Per fortuna che ogni vent&#8217;anni vinciamo i mondiali.</p>
<p>L&#8217;angolo del collezionista: nel sito Anticon (vedi links) l&#8217;album è già disponibile in prevendita (spediranno il 18 aprile, con qualche gg di anticipo rispetto all&#8217;uscita nei negozi): su richiesta per 2$ in più si può ancora ottenere la versione a tiratura ultra limitata (100 copie) che include un bonus CD con la versione demo di ogni brano, praticamente un &#8216;making of&#8217;&#8230;
