The Snobs - Ekho's Wheeling In Thespiae

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

Hello there!

If this is the right section, I'd like to tell you about my art rock band The Snobs. My brother, Mad Rabbit, and I formed it ten years ago. Since then we recorded and released a few albums, including one collaboration with new yorker poet Steve Dalachinsky. We just released our latest one, Ekho's Wheeling In Thespiae, and like all our music, movies and visuals, it's downloadable for free on our website www.thesnobs.fr.

I think the best way to describe our music is to tell you what we like and what we do. We love krautrock bands like Can. Their concept of "instant composition" certainly influenced us. You can hear textures and grooves from David Bowie and Brian Eno's collaboration albums too. We tried to add some black music grooves in this new record too, think Miles Davis' On The Corner. Our favourite prog bands are Van Der Graaf Generator, Magma and King Crimson.

Mad Rabbit: vocals, lyrics, samples, electronics, montage, mixage, visuals

Duck Feeling: guitar, bass, saxophone, electronics, synthesizer, piano, percussions

There are many ways to listen to Ekho's Wheeling In Thespiae:

- streaming on soundcloud
- download a .rar archive with the complete artwork (MP3 or FLAC)
- view the videos - one clip and two animations - we made for each songs

We hope you'll like it, and all comments are welcomed!

	All you could possibly want from The Snobs, including albums, movies, photographs, books, can be discovered on our website www.thesnobs.fr. It's french but it's mostly music and silent movies so it's international-friendly. Our new album comes freely in MP3 and FLAC. For modern ones, we present to you The Snobs' Bandcamp and Facebook : thesnobsfr.bandcamp.com facebook.com/thesnobsfr Dance the electric dandy!

	I eventually bought it this last week-end. The artwork and packaging is surprisingly innovativ, not to talk about the music...

	Oh thank you very much CPicard, I'm glad you like the packaging! And now, The Snobs are thrilled to give you Live In Thespiae. This is our new movie, a live performance with no audience and no overdubs. You can appreciate the psychedelic projections all over our bodies and dance the electric dandy with us! Live In Thespiae on our website
