The sixth album from cult psych band The Mars Volta is a compromised record that marks as much a shift into mediocrity as much as it heralds a new sonic aesthetic for the group: one marked by stretched ballads, underproduced synthesisers and only the most token and obliging of freak out tech riffs. Time was, their music was the very antithesis of mediocre - over their first few albums, the group portrayed an intellectualism and eclecticism that reaffirmed the quality in what was always ostentatious music. Both forward thinking in terms of studio production, and retroactive by their penchance for 70s ...

Imbogodom has a new album out - that's the project of Alexander Tucker and Daniel Beban. I saw Tucker play solo as support of A Silver Mt Zion back in 2010 - it was pretty sweet. These tracks off And They Turned Not When They Went (fresh off Thrill Jockey's shelves) are as eclectic and intricate as always. Following last year's Imbogodom debut The Metallic Year and Tucker's 2011 solo album Dorwytch , the duo clearly have upped the ante in their aims to compose, dismantle, and expand their songwriting. It isn't an easy listen, but that is ...

Canadian experimental artist Anthony von Seck collaborated with the likes of Amy Millan from Stars, Basia Bulat, Elizabeth Anka Vajagic, plus the players from A Silver Mt. Zion and Stars to create his conceptual debut album My Best Friends In Exile. The concept behind the album is that it “felt more like you were surfing through radio stations, starting as very dense and urban, and whittling down into something more earthy and fragile.” “The Music of My Best Friend In Exile” was launched to a packed audience during a live performance at Pop Montreal in October 2009. Here are three ...

Esmerine played their first European tour recently, performing material from their acclaimed third album La Lechuza . The 405 was afforded the opportunity to speak with founding member Beckie Foon and we jumped at the chance. As a member of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Set Fire To Flames and A Silver Mt Zion, Beckie Foon has been at the centre of some of my favourite music and has consistently upheld a recording and publication ethic that puts localism and creativity above profit making and careerism. It was a real pleasure to sit with her and have this conversation before Esmerine played ...

A Silver Mt. Zion is a rock band formed in 1999, in Montreal, Canada, by Godspeed You! Black Emperor musicians Efrim Menuck, Sophie Trudeau and Thierry Amar. According to an interview with VPRO Radio in The Netherlands, originally the project was for Efrim to learn how to score music, but the idea was soon abandoned [...]

Esmerine would play their first London gig at Electrowerkz, an idiosyncratic venue renowned for its goth nights and clubbing. Given their hiatus, it was perhaps a wonder that the band were here at all- but Esmerine enjoyed the breath of new life in 2011 when expanding from a duo to a five piece. Here, perhaps suitably, the material found an appropriate embellishment in the fuller ensemble. The tour came on the back of a new record, the excellent and indeed surprising La Lechuza - an album which became a personal favourite this year. Drawing from chamber music as much as ballad ...

I want to talk to you about what is real. I want to talk about the street. Actually, I want to talk to you about my street. You see, the sound of most streets is the dull rumble of traffic, with maybe a dog barking somewhere in the distance. Not mine. I live in the middle of a group of households who all seem to be part of one extended family. They shout at each other all day, calls ringing up and down the road. One house won't hold them all, so they live outside much of the time ...

Last year I downloaded Kollaps Tradixionales after learning that Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra (referred to as A Silver Mt. Zion for brevity) contained…

The music of Efrim Menuck may be criticized for being simplistic or even naive. Whether delivered in stirring apocalyptic terms in Godspeed You! Black Emperor or channeled through the mournful communal excursions of A Silver Mt Zion, Menuck’s musical vision … Continue reading →

Die kanadischen Post-Rock-Vorreiter von Godspeed You! Black Emperor nähren die Hoffnung ihrer Fans auf ein neues Album. Nachdem sich das Musiker-Kollektiv im letzten Jahr zu einigen Konzerten wieder zusammenfand, stimmte die Chemie anscheinend sofort erneut, denn wie es jetzt auf ihrer Homepage heißt, beginnt die Band bald damit, an neuen Songs zu arbeiten. Schon nach der aktuellen Tour soll es wieder ins Studio gehen. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - "Storm" Die lose Formation namens Godspeed You! Black Emperor entstammt den alternativen Kreisen der Musik-Szene Montreals, gründete sich 1994 und gilt seitdem als Vorreiter der Post-Rock-Bewegung, auch wenn die Band selbst sich ...

Label: 3 Syllables Recordings/4AD Release Date: 02/05/11 Link: Myspace Buy/Listen: Amazon / 405 Stream I first heard Anni Rossi back in 2005. The Chicago based violist was with Carla Bozulich's then band as it toured Evangelista across Europe, and I caught an impromptu gig at Barden's Boudoir only a night after Bozulich had supported A Silver Mt Zion at Koko. The night afforded a twenty minute set to Rossi, who captivated the early birds with a rousing solo performance of shirking, playful vocals, fierce string manoeuvring and her impassioned tap and foot-stomping. Anni Rossi was ...
