2017 - Part 11

We’ve got one last banger before the rekkid drops this Friday. In case you still haven’t been acquainted yet, the cowboy futurist of Oz, Cong Josie, is back to make darn sure you know his name and his game with ‘Cong the Singer’ the final single from his eponymous album Cong! It’s 4 minutes of Cong madness and malarky after which we think you’ll count yourself a co-conspirator, partner in crime or just need a cold shower. 

This thrusting synth-punk stomper is a timely manifesto announcing the imminent release of his debut LP, Cong!  Crooning, yelping and cooly fantasising in spoken word, Cong serves up his most blistering joy-ride yet. Imagery is invoked of a speeding Eastern Freeway drive in a crowded clown-car/Ford Laser with Giorgio Moroder in the back seat squeezed in with a strong-man chanting choir and a lush disco chanteuse whose voice floats crystal clear with hope. Cong is at the wheel of course, all hopped up on 7/11 one dollar coffees singing Roy Orbison too fast at 78rpm while Johnny Cayn is the front passenger playing a hillbilly slide guitar with complete abandon - wind flowing through his curly locks.

The origin story told in ‘Cong The Singer’ of Cong coming good as a gun-for-hire singer who becomes infamous at the parma-night mega pubs of the suburban sprawl doing a sort of Elvis-does-pub-rock karaoke show may have only a thin veneer of irony about it though. Cong’s daylighting alter-ego Nic Oogjes (NO ZU) grew up driving daily on the freeway mentioned, and it could be said that his own insecurities as a singer, and that of perpetually feeling like an outsider who (fruitlessly) seeks acceptance via creative output, of which will never actually align with broad definitions of 'good' in the ‘burbs, could be fuelling this trip. This is just a theory though. For now, let’s just thrust along to Cong, the “stiletto singer, moonlighting in the dead of night”.

Cong Josie -  Cong The Singer

“The ceiling doesn’t know it’s being watched by so many liquid-sick eyes”

Cult duo VACUUM turn their gaze from the mechanical to the mortal with their second single ‘I’ll Call You’, which explores Western end-of-life rituals.

Cavernous soundscapes are cut razor-sharp and met with Andrea Blake (ASPS/CHROME DOME) and Jenny Branagan’s (NUN) dual deadpan recitations, reminiscent of early Anne Clark. An ominous sub-bass sets the tone while the squeak of a rubber sole on waxed hospital floors is dressed in an echo of New Wave delay. Empty platitudes are uttered down the phone line - diegetic and delivered like an infernal Shangri-las. The anticipation of a flatline extracts the sacred from the mundane – the Temenos of a waiting room, the Oracle of the Yellow Pages and an Ambrosia of instant coffee.

The album VACUUM S/T will be out Feb 18th 2022

Taken from "Plaster - Obscura LP (Textvra)".  March 23rd 2023. Buy here : https://textvra.bandcamp.com/album/obscura

Obscura marks the fifth full length studio album by Plaster excluding collaborative, live and split albums. Written between 2019 and 2022, Obscura is the result of a very deep research of Gianclaudio Hashem Moniri in both composition and sound design’s world. The fifteen tracks which build the album are splitted into two parts, A and 𝝮.
According to Gianclaudio, the concept of the compositions is based on the feminine world, to its darkest and brightest side, to Its power and delicacy but also refers to the death of Mahsa Amini in Iran and the following Iranian protests. The tracks are filled with elements of protest messages, words of hope, stories of femicide, fragments and tributes of the imaginary feminine world of Gianclaudio.
The sound is clearly a step forward into the Plaster’s production, we can hear a lot of new inputs, like poetry, distorted guitars, vocals used as the main instrument, but on the other side, Obscura brings back the memories of early works. There’s a lot of passion and cohesion between the tracks and this is not an album which aims for fast listenings or streaming skipping. Obscura will be released by Textvra in spring 2023 via limited printed canvas (22 copies in memory of the age of Mahsa Amini) and worldwide digital distribution as well.
