Jake Duzsik of noise band HEALTH talks to Analogue about their new LP ‘Get Color’ and more. Your sophomore album is called ‘Get Color’, I read in another interview that you took the title from a craft show of some sort or was that you winding an interviewer up? I think that might be a bit of a misnomer. I think someone else... [Read more...]
Still riding the wave of his excellent The Future Will Come, The Juan MacLean was in town to grace the Heineken Expressions tour and show the masses at Tripod what disco sounded like before nu-disco. Having spent much of the year touring with his live show, and then took off across Europe on a two-week DJ tour. All of this travelling might get a little... [Read more...]
Final Fantasy’s long awaited third record was finally announced last month, to shouts of joy and murmurs of amused interest. It’s something of a concept album, based on a world where the sole deity is the violinist, singer and loop-pedal genius himself, and it does, admittedly, sound rather odd. Yet for Owen Pallett, a man who named his... [Read more...]
Analogue spoke to The Subs ahead of their Halloween performance at Transmission in Dublin next week. Your sound has been described as “Boys Noize brutality and Wagnerian rave drama” - how appropriate do you think that description is? Well, we can live with that. I guess the brutality and rave because we simply cannot leave a sound sweet... [Read more...]
Joe And Will Ask? have been making noise across clubland with their melodic yet heavy techno, while at the same time baffling bloggers and writers with their typographically nonsensical name. I recently spoke to them as they found themselves booked between a series of dubstep wizards at Beats of Rage in Preston’s Coda. “It was basically anthem bashing,”... [Read more...]
The first thing I want to ask about is your compositional process. As far I know ‘Bromst’ is the first record that you’ve had other musicians (drummers etc.) other than singers on your records, or at least aside from vocalists it was just you playing on ‘Spiderman Of The Rings’. How did working with people change things for you and at... [Read more...]
illustration by Phil Dunne Ten years ago the good ship Animal Collective began its musical voyage, embarking into a deep ocean of avant-garde noise, bubbling psychedelia and whirlpools of high-frequency delirium. Year by year, release by release these four adventurers sailed ever-closer to their eventual destination, distracted by an Odyssey-like saga... [Read more...]
Brooklynites Crystal Stilts have a touch of Joy Division to their sound, but it is in an atmospheric, rather than sonic way. They have captured the essence of post punk, but sound like they have been influenced by the music from both sides of that era. There are bits of Smiths, Velvet Underground, Jesus and Mary Chain and rockabilly that are mixed... [Read more...]
illustration by Phil Dunne Kuduro isn’t a genre known to the vast majority of the Irish populace. In fact, the chances are quite high that you weren’t even aware there was such a thing as kuduro until curiosity inspired you to read this article. Either that or you’re a die-hard fan of the stuff; my sincerest apologies for patronising you if this... [Read more...]
