THE TOP 2011

Este año, aunque como ya es costumbre en los años post-2000, la creatividad innovadora escasea hemos sido testigos del surgimiento de una escena como la de los sellos AM Discs, Holy Page, Sewage Tapes o  Homotownrecord$$$! que nos permite vislumbrar un futuro cercano tan marxiano, tripero y rupturista como el de la última generación avantgarde mundial –me refiero a la de los 90’s-. ¡Aleluya!







1. AY GEE TEE – Soul (AM Discs)

Una vez más el futuro es hoy: impresionante álbum proveniente de la nueva camada de creadores transgresores del sello AMDISCS. “Soul” de AyGee Tee está lleno de pura magia durante los 42 minutos que duran sus 8 tracks, construidos todos en las confiables Macintosh empleando software diverso. En los tags del álbum leemos: electro, folk, hip-hop, disco tropical y soul.  En realidad si algún término cabía otorgarle a esta obra es la de ser nueva psicodelia, post psicodelia o psicodelia digital. Cada vibración sónica de la música de AyGee Tee carga esa sustancia que lo hace heredero de gente como Silver Apples, Spectrum, Orange Cake Mix o My Bloody Valentine.”

2. THE SOLAR SYSTEM – Major Heave (independiente, bandcamp)

Chris Oliver nos sorprende en Major Heave demostrando una fructífera veta creativa  en donde el ingenio y el talento se respaldan en su sobresaliente acervo musical, y es que acá podemos oír referencias al sonido de bandas como Astrobrite pero también a Polyphemus (esa voz tan alegremente ácida y juvenil) o Brian Eno (¡genial inventiva la de Chirs!) y Orange Cake Mix. Todo ensamblando de manera original sin caer en la copia facilona o la pose freak. Detroit city siempre a la Vanguardia.

3. MOON DUO – Mazes (Sacred Bones Records)

Genial disco del Wooden Shjips Erik “Ripley” Johnson, quien junto a su amiga Sanae Yamada nos han dejado uno de los mejores albumes de rock psicodélico del año. En Mazes podemos escuchar ecos de gente tan volada como Spacemen 3 o Loop –que es a veces como decir lo mismo-, bueno en vez de acumular letras y frases manidas. ¡Escúchalo! No hay otra.

4. PHOENICIA – Demissions (Schematic)

Rómulo y Josh retornan con “Demissions” una obra que confirma su rol de referentes dentro del vasto mundo de la IDM contemporánea; adeptos al sonido de Aphex Twin, Autechre y demás están más que invitados a esta fiesta metamusical en donde los primeros que saldrán a la pista de baile a gozar serán tus neuronas bendecidas.

5. ULRICH SCHNAUSS & JONAS MUNK – Ulrich Schnauss & Jonas Munk (Pedigree Cuts)

Jonas Munk (Manual) y el reconocido Ulrich Schnauss unen mentes y almas para brindarnos un hermoso trip por lo mejor de la vanguardia etérea nü gaze del momento. Sonidos enlongados, armonías celestiales y delicados paisajes son el vocabulario básico con el que Schnauss y Munk remueven nuestro corazón por más de una hora de inolvidables visiones que son ya parte inamovible de nuestra esencia más real. Bendita lujuria flor de musas y acuarelas.

6. Shisa – (memory) (AM Discs)

7. Pimpollo Fenicio & Pimpollo Persa – Música para niños leones (Independiente, bandcamp)

8. Hecker – Speculative Solution (Editions Mego)

9. Seefeel – Seefeel (Warp)

10. Washed Out – Within and Without (Sub Pop)

11. Mark McGuire – Get Lost (Editions Mego)

12. Puna – Medio día en la Luna EP (Independiente)

 Lima Sublime - Post-Chichadelia by kromosapiens 

13. Lima Sublime (Superspace Records)

14. Antena – Sonido-Imágenes-Tiempo (La Casa Ida)

15. SPC ECO – You Tell Me (XD Record)

ENTRADA LIBRE)))))))

The Solar System

Chirs Oliver (28) is behind THE SOLAR SYSTEM, a one man excursion into psychedelia, floaty sounds, and dreamy music. He comes from holy Detroit space-rock city -home of bands like Füxa- and has recently put out an amazing album called "Major Heave".



The Solar System's music has been described as "Psychedelic/Low-Fi/Electronic/Underwater Music" or as "Pink Floyd meets Queens of The Stone Age hanging out with Brian Eno and Twink!" here in PeruAvantgarde will say that this is like crossing the early ESP Summer experiments with sounds like the ones we can happily discover in Astrobrite (from Scott Cortez) or in Orange Cake Mix (from Jim Rao). But if you want a more accurate insight or aproximation: do you remember the 90's band called Polyphemus??
We do! The Solar System come to where they left and have meet it with The Sun)))))))))










That said, we entirely recommend this piece of pure gold for you lucky boys & girls that visit this supersonic, dreamy and transgressive Peruvian blog anywhere you are... or want to be ;)

25 years of "Sound of Confusion"

Although few magazines and websites have noticed this year we celebrate not only 20 years of "Loveless" by My Bloody Valentine, but above all, 25 years of publication of the debut of the most important psychedelic band in History, for whom he writes these lines of course: Spacemen 3 .

Rugby astronauts in 1986 released a beautiful and hypersonic album called "Sound of Confusion" that was, like Sonic Boom would say later, "a tribute to our influences" of the 7 songs on the album, 3 were covers of their idols from the 60's: "Rollercoaster" by 13th Floor Elevators, "Mary Anne" from Juicy Lucy and "Little Doll" from the Stooges.

In a context in which prevailed the horde of new wave and dark gothic bands in the British alternative scene told a few exceptions: Jesus & Mary Chain, Loop and all the people of the Creation label, Spacemen 3 were a real hammer blow to a scene that was beginning to flirt with the marketing and the media to finish in what later would be called hypes, groups ensambled by the industry or the scene now known as "indie" made by people who see music as something not serious, real or sacred as it was in advanced cultures of humanity but as a means to get fame, status and / or money, as mere "entertainment".




Against all those things they arose led by Jason "Spaceman" Pierce and Pete "Sonic Boom" Kember and left us a handful of songs with which many would find meaning in a grey and dreary reality. The album begins with "Losing Touch With My Mind" with some nods to the Rolling Stones in the acidic and melodious guitars, we listen to Jason sing "I need it babe, it makes me feel all right". "Hey man", or "Amen" in some bootlegs, is a song where the group declares with radiant happiness his eternal love to drugs, they even get to say "I don't mind dying Lord, But I hate to leave my mother crying".

It is really worth to highlight the work done in creating layers of guitar noise filled with overdrive and fuzztone that are the beginning of what later became known as shoegaze even before My Bloody Valentine, it is no accident that scene groups as Chapterhouse, Ride or Slowdive recognize the influence of Spacemen 3 and in some cases have performed covers of them.

The fantastic version performed by the Rugby pals of  the 13th Floor Elevators anthem, "Rollercoaster", endorse the above lines above: in addition to devising new vocal melodies for the song they take a great job of decorating the issue with overdrive and sick pseudo tribal percussion that seems more like made by an infant in protest plan. Hypnotic noise unnerving. Ditto with the version of "Little Doll" from The Stooges.



And if as much acidity, irreverence and intoxication were not enough they end their fantastic debut with 8 minutes of protoshoegaze minimalism and pre space-rock called "O. D. Catastrophe" which sings the story of a boy who runs out of money because of their drug addiction that ultimately end up causing his death by overdose.

As we know the influence of these wizards of neo-psychedelia has been increasing with the passage of years arriving even to South America and to Peru where bands like Hipnoascensión , Transparente , Salomon Jedidias , Leche Plus , etc. hoist the flag of psychedelic lust and spacey/guitarrorist/minimal music

As some say, time is the best ally of the vanguard. We are therefore confident that the influence of Spacemen 3 will last many years.

Amen.
