I’m maybe a wee bit late in highlighting this EP, as it was in fact released in February (before this blog even existed), but it’s one of my favourite listens of the year so it’s better late than never. Kneel And You Will Lose is the second EP by Zefs Chasing Cara, a solo project that is inventive and complex in its inception, but a quite accessible piece of work.
The mainstay of the music is extremely tech guitar playing, but the complexity is not allowed to overtake the songs and instead fuels and caters for the progressive, rousing pieces. The make-up of the tracks could be compared to house music, with the layering of sounds, building of momentum, and the general crescendo that is reached, and the structure allows for music that would soundtrack many a great cinematic moment.
There Are two Timelines And In One I Would Regret Not Doing This and Hurtsz Kerb introduce the guitar stylings, some synth sounds and the dance dynamics, before the lo-fi mellow Bru Hit Him splits the EP well and sets up an ending which blew me away.
It rises and drops several times, with the vocals having a calming effect in the middle, until it can’t be held back any more and the dam breaks allowing the wave of frenetic guitar to burst through. It is really inspiring stuff and has such an impetus about it.
The final track Cracker Deelosay starts off with similar guitar stylings and more prominent vocals than previous tracks that are slightly unclear but have a definite rallying presence to them. The song then bursts into what feels like a remix, with synth sounds and voice box taking over proceedings, giving it an almost house music feel. The step up tops off what feels like a massive forward movement from the start of the EP.
This EP and its predecessor, I’m Gowing, are both available for free download.

Canciones de sexo, amor y otros menesteres son las que abundan en este disco lleno de ritmo y sobre todo de buen rollo.
Actualmente se encuentran preparando lo que será su próximo disco 'Rodando las calles' en el que prometen mantener su inconfundible fusión de estilos añadiendo toques funk, ska ó jazz. Gracias a la familia de Renombra2 por este disco (incluido arte + letras).

I love these types of DVDs. A few years back I saw a concert that was similar to this: "Friday Night In San Francisco" It was amazing live. This DVD brought back memories of the show and CD I bought. Of course this was a different line up, I saw Paco De Lucia, Al Di Meola, and John McLaughin oh and a little known axe player at the time Steve Morse I guess it was more than a few years ago. Anyway I digress back to this lineup, great sound, all acoustic mic,and furiously fast. This frentic trio had me hypnotized from the opening salvo of guitar splendor. This lineup included Al Di Meola, Larry Coryell, and Bireli Lagrene. If you love Guitar fireworks at blazing speed, but always in key and in time you will love this accoustic masterpiece. They cover Coryell, Return to Forever, Chick Corea, and Astor Piazzolla tunes and a few Di Meola classics. Its short, sweet, blazing, hypnotic and totally worth the price. If you have any interest in classical guitar, or acoustic speedstering this the DVD for you. I wish more stuff like this were available.

She released her first solo album in 1995, after spending a few years in Thee Headcoatees; since then, she has kept up a steady pace of new material, at least one of these per year: singles comps, odd and ends packages, live shows, and (oh yeah) traditional albums. That rate of production often seems crucial to the palatability of her new old-timey music, preventing her from overthinking her songs or her performances while keeping everything loose and tossed off. As a result, she sounds a lot less manicured and a lot more convincing than upstarts like Langhorne Slim or Scott H. Biram.
In fact, writing on her web site, she sounds almost apologetic explaining that it took five days to record Dirt Don't Hurt, her second collaboration with the Brokeoffs. Their previous effort, You Can't Buy a Gun When You're Crying (which, you have to admit, is useful advice), was wrapped up in four days. And while she does admit "it may seem a little over-produced to some!" Golightly hasn't gone all Dave Fridmann on us: That extra day doesn't ruin the antique luster of her songs, but just focuses the collection considerably. It's still a heartily ramshackle affair, with pots and pans for percussion, rudimentary banjo picking, and what sound like first take on every track. The album's clattery rawness is its chief appeal.
Some explanation may be required: The Brokeoffs isn't a real backing band, as the pluralized name might suggest. Instead, it's just some dude named Lawyer Dave, who has been playing upright bass for Golightly for about a decade now. He provides the clatter, even sings in a cough on menacing opener "Bottom Below". Their sandpaper and satin voices blend nicely on the country lament "Up Off the Floor" and they imbue "Indeed You Do" and "Slow Road" with a folksy eeriness that lurches and claws at the recriminating lyrics. The slapdash "Gettin' High for Jesus" puts the pot in pots-and-pans. A Holly/Lawyer original, it could be a cover of some late-60s hippie novelty hit by, say, Country Joe & the Fish.
At times Dirt Don't Hurt gets away from them: The clamor becomes grating (the demonstrative metal smacks that kick off ("Three Times Under"), the murder-and-mayhem storytelling sounds like dress-up ("My 45"), and the duo risk the sort of preciousness that sinks some of their sepia-toned peers (the clucks and bocks on "Cluck Old Hen"). But more often than not, they make virtues of these shortcomings, as on the closer "I Wanna Hug Ya, Kiss Ya, Squeeze Ya". This Claudia Swann cover ought to sound unbearably saccharine, but thanks to the rumbling electric guitar and Holly and Lawyer's Mickey & Sylvia vocal trade-offs, it's the album's highlight-- the reconciliation after all the bickering-- underscoring how well the duo play old songs as if they wrote them and write new songs that sound decades old.

Note :
http://www.myspace.com/wovenhand
Origine du Groupe : North America
Style : Alternative Folk , Rock
Sortie : 2010Indie Folk Américaine / 2010. Wovenhand a été purgé des vices de « Ten Stones » et on ne retrouvera sur « The Threshing Floor » ni les guitares rugueuses de « The Beautiful Axe », ni le punk-folk de « Kicking Bird », ni les refrains fédérateurs de « Not One Stone », ni même l’émotion des post-ballades comme « Quiet Nights & Quiet Stars ». Non, il s’agit d’un album plus intimiste comme « Mosaic », d’un album où David Eugene Edwards continue de se chercher et poursuit l’exploration de lui-même entamée avec « Blush Music ». Le songwriting y est ainsi implicitement moins ambitieux mais toujours aussi personnel.
Dès les chants mystiques de « Sinking Hands », on sait que « The Threshing Floor » sera un album plus opaque, plus mystérieux, un véritable labyrinthe dans la pensée déjà torturée de son créateur ; une impression rapidement confirmée par « Raise Her Hands ». Quelque soit le procédé créatif, David Eugene Edwards aime à se retrouver isolé, évitant souvent les grosses tournées et la promiscuité d’un groupe. Wovenhand est une extension de son univers, de sa vie, un parcours à mille chemins qui se croisent et s’entrechoquent, mais un parcours que l’on doit suivre seul.
On pourrait du coup reprocher à Wovenhand de tourner en rond, d’appliquer une recette tant chacun des titres porte en lui tout l’héritage des précédents opus (« A Holy Measure ») et que chacune des intersections possèdent les mêmes attributs que la précédente. Les chansons usent toujours du même schéma narratif imposé dès 2003 par des titres comme « My Russia ». Les introductions instrumentales particulièrement ambiantes laissent supposer que la voix ne viendra jamais se poser avant que cette dernière ne finisse toujours par nous prendre à revers (« Singing Grass »). L’étrange interlude « Wheatstraw » est lui une émanation du spectre de « Snake Bite ». Mais la précieuse capacité du pèlerin à imbriquer brillamment les influences médiévales et les fluttes enchanteresses (« Terre Haute ») prouve qu’il y a une légitimité à consolider les défenses du terrain qu’on est le seul à occuper. Au fond, les briques du « Shametown » de 16 Horsepower servent toujours 15 ans plus tard de fondations au dédale.
C’est lorsque la rythmique joue le décalage avec l’univers folk et qu’un mur de son porte la force des incantations que Wovenhand se fait le plus envoûtant (« Thruth », reprise de New Order). Plus le temps passe, plus David Eugene Edwards marche dans les pas de David Tibet, et les abîmes de Wovenhand pourraient bientôt côtoyer ceux de Current 93 (« Behind Your Breath »).
« The Threshing Floor » se clôture sur un « Denver City », blues-rock à souhait et étonnamment empli d’espoir, qui ne peut se défendre d’être une évidente référence au Denver Sound dont David Eugene Edwards fut en quelque sorte l’effigie. Faut-il y voir la sortie du labyrinthe ? Non plutôt un oasis de verdure caché au milieu de celui-ci. Nul doute que le voyage initiatique n’est pas fini et que les shamans ont encore fort à faire avec Wovenhand.
