Shigeto - What We Held On To EP by Moodgadget

Zach Saginaw’s releases as Shigeto are more than just pieces of music—they’re chapters, carefully laid building blocks of a narrative that spans the artist’s increasingly impressive body of work. Building a sonic bridge between the Semi-Circle EP and the upcoming Full Circle full-length, Shigeto’s What We Held On To EP is the next installment in the artist’s ongoing treatise on his family’s troubled history, as well as a free taste of what’s to come from the prolific Brooklyn producer.

What We Held On To is both simpler and heavier than its predecessor, with Shigeto paring his tracks down to their essentials and adding a dollop of blown-speaker low end; it’s also a bit more melancholy, owing to the addition of a few elegantly disheveled vocal samples and liberal use of piano. “After She Smokes” matches a sinister metallic “shhhing!” (Swords colliding? Knives sharpening?) to an elegiac singing voice and a series of swelling synths—certainly one of Shigeto’s prettiest moments—while “Bitter Sweet”’s stuttering boom-clap and machine-like hums alternate with more doe-eyed vocals and a touch of understated bossa-nova cool. The EP’s second half is darker than the first, as the overdriven digital menace of “What We Held On To” leads into “Grandma’s Words / Rise Out of the Stone”, a two-part invocation of Saginaw’s grandmother’s experience as a Japanese-American during the horrors of WWII.

The central mystery with What We Held On To, of course, is the title’s unspecified “what”: what exactly, we’re meant to wonder, did they hold on to? As Shigeto moves steadily toward his full-length debut, he’s been holding on to his family history, bringing that chapter of his musical mission to a close; he’s also holding on to his grandmother’s upright piano (the moody chords of which appear throughout the EP), her last remaining worldly possession after her internment in the US. What We Held On To represents the final piece of Shigeto’s longstanding obsession; on Full Circle, his upcoming full-length, the young producer finally lets go.

Alors que le duo down-tempo autrichien Kruder & Dorfmeister vient de paraître un K & D Sessions très remarqué bien que constitué exclusivement de remixes, les deux acolytes se séparent l'un pour fonder Tosca (Dorfmeister), l'autre pour monter son Peace Orchestra (Kruder), dont cet album éponyme ne connaîtra pas de suite. "Orchestra" dans le nom, car nous tenons ici l'oeuvre d'un seul homme, véritable chef d'orchestre d'une ribambelle de samples, tous plus beaux les uns que les autres. Ce qui frappe d'emblée à l'écoute des deux projets, c'est leur surprenante ressemblance : beats de véritables batteries samplées au son très ample, rythmique lente et hypnotique très riche en basses, savant mélange de sons électroniques et samples d'instruments (contrebasse, clarinette, boucles de voix noyées dans la reverb), apportant une chaleur et un sensualité envoûtante à l'un comme à l'autre. Pourquoi donc les deux artistes n'ont-ils pas continué à bosser ensemble? Je n'en connais pas la réponse...

Là où l'album de Tosca était exclusivement instrumental, Peter Kruder se permet d'inviter la peu connue Chilli Bukasa qui interprète d'une voix chlorophormée le fabuleux "Shining", qui fait lentement dériver dans de très hautes sphères.
Tout comme le Suzuki de Tosca, cet album est à la fois fortement ancré dans le courant trip-hop downtempo de la fin des années 90 et particulièrement intemporel du fait du choix des sons, incroyablement organiques et chauds.

Ce n'est pas pour rien que la pochette contient un pansement (véritable!) collé sur le boîtier plastique à l'avant, sur lequel est écrit Peace Orchestra. Car oui, si le but du disque est de panser d'éventuelles plaies, le pari est réussi. Le disque est simple d'accès, remarquablement mis en sons et me fait voir des paysages gradioses défiler, comme contemplés de la vitre d'un vieux train.

From Netlabel http://error-broadcast.com :
Error Broadcast teamed up with Siberian weblog Gimme5 to deliver this 17-track compilation Fly Russia that features all the names relevant to the Russian beatscene such as Pixelord, DZA, Lapti, Nocow, 813, Kntxt, Demokracy, OL and many others.

At all given diversity, common to all tracks on Fly Russia is an in-depth understanding of  30 years of experimental electronic music, the love for a Hip Hop and downbeat tempo plus something people might define as "Slav Soul". Beneath several layers of nasty beats and hissing synthesizers, melancholy lurks in nearly every song. The generation of young beatmakers we refer to as Fly Russia does aim for nodding heads and emotional impact all but the same.

Tracklist :
01. Moa Pillar - Water Lily 3:41
02. DZA - J-Dat inc. (Listening MD in Dub) 4:07
03. 813 - Zondor Fo 3:03
