Fol Chen (Samuel Bing, The Booksman, Gmo, Julian Wass, Patrik-Ian, and Sinosa Loa.) de California
Segundo disco de los californianos Fol Chen, el grupo del gutarrista de Liars (con quienes van de teloneros en el World Tour 2010), y para ponerle nombre pues si el primero era Part I, pues ahora Part II (otra cosa que han cambiado, es que ahora ya enseñan sus caras y han puesto los nombres, que hasta ahora era una incógnita), en medio esta el album Free ‘The Longer U Wait’ con remixes, siguen con su indie-electronica experimental, cada vez mejor, un gran disco, un disco eclectico, con muchas influencias pero con una sencillez en la creación de temas y un gran juego de voces como capas que se van sucediendo entremezcladas con los instrumentos, en los que destacan las percusiones e instrumentos ritmicos. Un disco par escucharlo con tranquilidad y disfrutarlo una otra vez e ir descubriendo cosas nuevas. MUY RECOMENDABLE!!!!!!!!
A transmission from Fol Chen: “We sound like Prince with Amon Duul II and a children’s religious revival, not to mention Hot Chip, Pink Floyd, Gwen Stefani, Pere Ubu, Danielson Famile, Scritti Politti, Boards Of Canada, The Blow, and Pulp. (Mostly). We are cryptic and joyful and we would like you to dance.” Features appearances by Karin Tatoyan and Rafter, along with members of The Liars, Castanets, Let’s Go Sailing.
For its second album, Highland Park sextet Fol Chen presents Part II: The New December, songs of malaise and miscommunication set to dark pop and glitch-riddled chamber funk. Since the band’s inception, Fol Chen has remained a mysterious entity – its membership disguised by masks and aliases, its lyrics appearing as transmissions from a fictional world. But just as the on-album narrative has congealed in bits and pieces, the group’s real-life story has grown in tangible ways. Fol Chen’s wildly eclectic 2009 debut, Part I: John Shade, Your Fortune’s Made, spawned some healthy praise (from NPR, no less), a remix album (featuring No Kids and Junior Vasquez, among others), a BBC session, and a video collaboration with the Laker Girls. It also paved the way for a pair of uniquely inspired covers: Prince’s “The Beautiful Ones” (recorded for Spin) and Pink Floyd’s “In The Flesh” (for Mojo). Fol Chen’s bent, blackened takes on the pop eccentrics of yore provided fresh context for its own kaleidoscopic songs, and The New December shores up the group’s slippery identity further still. This is Fol Chen’s most focused work – as consistent as it is consuming, as enjoyable as it is unusual. – Asthmatic Kitty Records
10/09/10: Bestival!!! Isle Of Wight (UK) (The best FESTIVAL!!!!!)
El rapero de Londres nos presenta su nuevo disco, el segundo con su hip-hop, electro, house, dance, y puestos a pedir colaboraciones, pues se llama a unos amigos y que te produzcan algunos temas, y así tienes en el mismo disco de Example como productores a Don Diablo, Calvin Harris, Sub Focus, Chase & Status, Bart B More y Funkagenda.
Apparently, when west London rapper Example, aka Elliot Gleave, was 10 years old he won a national poetry competition. Listening to From Space, the opening track on his second album, it’s hard to see how that literary potential has been fulfilled: “I got brand new socks, pack of five/ I’ve been down the shops.” The typical rapper bravado is expressed thusly: “Try pigeonhole me/ Other pigeons better watch.” If that all sounds a bit junior school playground, he does have a point – much of Won’t Go Quietly is hard to pin down. On the sleek dance-pop of the title track and Last Ones Standing’s pummelling synths, he’s a less irritating Calvin Harris, while on the piano-inflected Millionaires, he recalls former label boss Mike Skinner’s way with the heartstrings. Elsewhere, Kickstarts is an exuberant electropop love song, Sick Notes (produced by dubstep pioneers Chase & Status) adds a grimier edge, and the whole thing ends with religious questioning on Won’t Believe the Fools. Oddly compelling. – The Guardian UK
