Sound Tribe Sector 9 - Artifact

Sound Tribe Sector Nine - "Artifact"
(System Recordings)

Que se passe-t-il quand un jamband californiens se met à l'electronica? Sound Tribe Sector 9, s'appelait à l'origine (en 1999) Sector 9 et leur funk-rock astroplanétaire avait mis le feu aux poudres dans ces pages. Puis rapidement, le trio devint quintet, avec Hunter Brown (guitare), Jeffree Lerner (percussions), David Murphy (basse), David Phipps (claviers) et Zach Velmer (batterie), et commença à intégrer de plus en plus d'éléments "électroniques" dans leur musique improvisée, jouant de plus en plus sur les textures et le groove, le groupe plus que ses talents individuels.
Un nouveau genre était né dans la bouche des journaleux: le rock "livetronica", véritable fusion de rock, de jazz-funk, de post-rock, voire de rock progressif, d'électronique, de samples, mais aussi de hip hop, de dub, de jazz et même de certains grooves latins! Après un album qui surprit tout le monde en 2000 pour son originalité de pionnier du genre ("Offered Schematics Suggesting Peace", sur Landslide Records) et quelques opus "live" tous auto-produits ("Live", en 1999, qu'un "ami" ne m'a jamais rendu le sale bâtard de sa mère; le double CD "Seasons 01", en 2002, et le "Live At Home" en 2003), ils sortent enfin un nouvel album studio, "Artifact", avec une incroyable pochette signée des Designers Republic (ceux qui font les pochettes du label Warp!), et des mantras "zen-électro" aux guitares Garcia-esques lèchées. Une musique incomparable, essentiellment instrumentale, qu'il est encore temps de découvrir.

(CD/LP/Digital) Big Dada Recordings BD193, 2012-02-06

Two years since winning the 2009 Mercury Music Prize for her debut album, Speech Therapy, and having ridden a rollercoaster through life since then, Speech Debelle is ready to drop her second collection of music. Entitled Freedom of Speech, the album sees Speech turning from introspection to stand up, face and engage with the world around her, spitting confident themes of revolution and love. A first taste of the album came in the aftermath of this summer's riots, when Speech reacted immediately, leaking the track Blaze Up A Fire, (also featuring Roots ManuvaRealism), a track about political revolution written months before. Now the build-up begins to the release of Freedom of Speech in early February 2012 with the free download of the track Studio Backpack Rap. From political to musical revolution, Speech describes the track as being "all about virtual instrumentation and an ode to KwesSpeech Therapy, while showcasing just one aspect of her remarkable new album.
