Steve Dalachinsky and The Snobs - Massive Liquidit

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hello!

I didn't notice that Prog Archives had a forum! I read the
 website for many years now and there is a record I think you could 
like. Mad Rabbit and I, Duck Feeling, are french and founded the band 
The Snobs several years ago. We recorded some albums that we 
self-released: we record by ourselves, we make the artwork, we do 
digipacks and all that stuff. Since 2009 and our record called 
Albatross, we are more interested in experiment and longer songs.

These
 days, we are releasing our new one which is called Rhythms Of Concrete.
 It's made of three trilogies of songs and there are many instruments in
 it: guitars, bass, electronic organ, harpsichord, trumpet, cello as 
well as voice, effects, samples, self-built percussions, etc. We 
listened a lot to Magma, electric Miles Davis, Einstürzende Neubauten 
and Broadcast during its recording, but we are long-time fans of prog 
rock bands like King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator and lots of 
krautrock bands like Can, Neu!, Amon Düül II, Ash Ra Tempel or Faust. 
That's why we thought some of you could like our music!

The album is downloadable for free on our official website: http://huntingbears.free.fr/

You can also listen to it via Soundcloud!

Feel free to tell about your thoughts on the record, we will be pleased to hear from you and to reply!

Thank you very much,
Mad Rabbit and Duck Feeling from The Snobs.

	Magma, Miles, VdGG, KC, Can, Neu!, ADII, ART and Faust all mentioned together? Count me in! I'll give it a listen soon, that sounds like quite the set of influences.

	Thank you SaltyJon! Well, I don't know if our music really looks like these bands, but we love them so I think there is indeed, by one way or another, a kind of influence. But we love some post-punk bands too and some other current psychedelic bands! Anyway thanks for the interest!

	I'm partway through the third trilogy right now, and so far I'd say that I've gotten more of a Faust/Krautrock vibe than the others, fun stuff!

	Yes, you're definitely right: our music is more into krautrock, repetitive things, and textures collages. Anyway I'm super glad you like it! Thanks!

	Hello! Just a little post to let you know that we have a new collaborative record with new york poet Steve Dalachinsky out on Bam Balam Records! The record is called Massive Liquidity and is made of six tracks that mix epic and cosmic grooves, somewhere between first Ash Ra Tempel records and Miles Davis' On The Corner, with wild and beautiful poems. You can buy the digisleeve CD with a foldout poster with all the poems directly from Bam Balam Records by Ebay or ordering it on Discogs. But, most important, you can listen to it for free here: http://soundcloud.com/thesnobsdustbin/sets/massiveliquidity/ http://www.bambalam.com/ http://huntingbears.free.fr/ Thanks! And feel free to tell us anything about the record! Duck Feeling. Edited by Duck Feeling - September 09 2011 at 15:25

	Damn! I've met you at Bab-I-Lo when Dalachinsky played this last winter! Sorry, I totally forget about you after all these months! Fun fact: tonight, I attended a concert of violonist Sarah Bernstein, who knows Steve. Funny to talk about him and, back at home, to read your post on PA....

	Yes I remember you! We talked about Acid Mothers Temple a little bit, if I'm not wrong. Anyway here is now the result of our collaboration with Steve! MASSIVE LIQUIDITY, haha.

	Aren't you yet on PA? I've listened to Rhythm Of Concrete a couple of times and it's excellent. Have you already been suggested for inclusion?

	Thanks a lot! Well, we're not on Prog Archives, I don't really know how to do that, but if you think our music could match, I could contact the webmaster to give a try! Thanks again!

	The process to suggest a band is a bit more complicate than just contacting the webmaster. There are "teams" for each subgenre. I'm on RIO/Avant/Zeuhl. If you think I can suggest your inclusion into Avant, but if you think to be more fitting into Krautrock let me know. Finding the right subgenre makes the things faster and asking the artist is not a bad idea. I'm contacting the Avant team.

	Amazing stuffs indeed, more Krautrock (experimental / garagey / lunatic texture) than Avant, but definitely fit for PA scope.

	Thanks a lot! I'm super glad you liked it. Yes, it's more of a psychedelic/krautrock record I think, I will contact this special team! We had a great review on All About Jazz too: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=40644&pg=2 Bye!
