"No me juzguen por mis errores" (Marie Davidson dixit). Lo último en dark wave electrosónico llega cortesía de la canadiense Marie Davidson y su opus "Working Class Woman". 10 canciones en donde la Davidson se burla del mundillo que le rodea y repasa algunos tópicos tenebrosos de la rutina como artista sonora o trabajadora de las artes: lidiar con los fans (can I roll your cables? I'm your biggest fan, I hear she always sleeps alone, cause she's fucked, who are you anyways?), con los gileritos que se la quieren chifar, sus problemas psicológicos, etc. Marie a pesar de ser una de las puntales de la electrónica de hoy no se la cree. Todo ello le ha de parecer simple estupidez: la del artista realizado, del que ya la hizo. Hay de eso y más en "Working Class Woman", un título nada mentiroso como sucede con l@s artys "misias pero viajeras": pitucos con yaya de m.
Sónicamente encontramos ecos de los Throbbing Gristle más "pop" y la hornada de actos techno que surgieron hacia fines de los 80 v.g. Cassandra Complex, New Scene, Robotiko Rejekto, Friends of Charlotte, etc. Todo con su respectivo update gracias al IDM ambient que adoramos. Estamos ante un documento heredero de la tradición new wave: Siouxsie & The Banshees, This Mortal Coil, Romeo Void, X-Mal Deutschland. Su lugar en las fiestas y discos más inquietas está aseguradísimo.
"Working Class Woman", un cachetadón que nos viene a demostrar lo poco que varió la escena con los poseros y arribistas cojudos de siempre. Para nuestra gracia -y la de la música- tenemos a maestras (y maestros) que, como la Davidson, encuentran placer poniendo el dedo en la llaga. Top 2018 en one.

"Don't judge me for my mistakes" (Marie Davidson dixit). The latest in electrosonik dark wave arrives courtesy of the Canadian Marie Davidson and her opus "Working Class Woman". 10 songs where Davidson mocks of the world around her and reviews some shady topics of her routine as a sound artist or arts worker: her dealing with fans (can I roll your cables? I'm your biggest fan, I hear she always sleeps alone, cause she's fucked, who are you anyways?), with the hunks who want to fuck her, her psychological problems, etc. Despite being one of the mainstays of the contemporary electronic avant-garde she doesn't believe it. To someone who has worked as a waitress for being able to sustain her music all this must seem stupid: the idiocy of the fulfilled artist, of the one who already made it. There is lots of that and more in this "Working Class Woman", a title that fits like a ring.
Sonically we find echoes of people like the "poppiest" Throbbing Gristle and the batch of techno groups that arose towards the end of the 80s like Cassandra Complex, New Scene, Robotiko Rejekto, Friends of Charlotte, etc. All with its respective update thanks to the ambient IDM we love so much. This is an inheriting document of the selected new wave tradition founded by heroes like Siouxsie & The Banshees, This Mortal Coil, Romeo Void, X-Mal Deutschland. Its place in parties and in the most restless discos is pretty assured.
"Working Class Woman" is a slap that shows us how little the scene has changed with its usual posers and arrivistes/social climbers. For our grace -and that of music- we still have masters who like Davidson find exquisite pleasure in putting their finger on the wound. Top 2018 in one.
