“Rock 'n' roll is an attitude, it's not a musical form of a strict sort. It's a way of doing things, of approaching things. It's a way of living your life.”

Album release date - 15th January 2016.

There aren’t many records that call to mind The Slits, CocoRosie, Portishead, Donkey Monkey, Micachu and the Shapes, and The Thing featuring Neneh Cherry. The second album by Phall Fatale shouldn’t really work: to be post-punk in spirit whilst displaying such obvious virtuosity seems a contradiction. But Moonlit Bang Bang is extraordinary precisely because of this unusual collision of technique and tearing it up. As distorted and abrasive at certain moments as it is fragile and subtle at others, the record succeeds in channeling avant-garde improvisation into catchy, compact song form. Maybe that’s what happens if your collective influences include Nina Simone, Jimi Hendrix, Iannis Xenakis and Albert Ayler. It isn’t easy to say where it ends up. Contemporary post-punk? Avant pop? Leftfield vocal jazz, of a kind that features no brass – or even, in the commonly understood sense, solos? A kind of alt R’n’B that makes alt R’n’B sound like Rihanna? The band themselves see the record as contemporary pop – but a kind of pop that draws heavily on improvisation, and which is interspersed with ‘hardcore packets of groove and spoken word’. 

The line-up, for all its symmetry, is odd: two vocalists, two double bassists and a drummer. One of the singers is Joana Aderi, who also makes experimental electronica as Eiko; joining her is Joy Frempong, known for her work as one half of OY (Crammed Discs). One bassist is Daniel Sailer, previously known for performing both contemporary classical music and hardcore noise (O’Haldenramm, Krakatau, Pol, Frachter). The other is John Edwards – quite a coup, given that he has worked with such avant-garde luminaries as Evan Parker, Peter Brötzmann and Wadada Leo Smith, as well as performing the songs of Robert Wyatt in Comicoperando. Completing the group is drummer and driving force Fredy Studer (Joe Henderson, Miroslav Vitous, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette, Paul Motian, John Abercrombie, John Zorn, Fred Frith). Something about Studer’s playing, which runs the gamut from full-blown rock-out to subtly textural, reflects that of the group as a whole, and he is both foundation and ornament to their unique sound. 

The tunes, too, are unpredictable. Opener and lead single The Girl, The Beat calls to mind Grace Jones and Barbara Morgenstern, though was apparently (and wonderfully unexpectedly) inspired by Right Said Fred. Electric Eel has something of the same feel, but with a stop-start arrangement that never settles into ‘safe’; the same is true of Fish Tank, and Crocodile, in which distorted choruses crashes into poignant sections of bowed bass. There’s even a Hendrix cover: a re-invention of Manic Depression that sounds far more manically depressed than the original. The musicianship is extraordinary, and the musical horizons extraordinarily broad: the verse of Sugar Drops features nimble, frantic double bass and effortlessly rolling beats, but the rhythm section turns suddenly unhinged in the chorus. The twin voices, meanwhile, can be absolutely in sync, as on Ring The Bell, midway between underground hip-hop and an Indian vocal percussion exercise; they can also split in two, as for the call and response chorus of Sleeping Beauty. Key to weaving together all these threads is producer Roli Mosimann, an early member of Swans who has also worked with JG Thirlwell, Young Gods, New Order, The The and Faith No More – and described by Studer as the sixth member of the band. 

Perhaps most remarkable is the fact that, for all its diversity, the album still sounds coherent and cohesive, even catchy; the scaffolding may often be kicked away, but the solid songs and hooky vocal lines remain intact.

IP025 - Saåad - Verdaillon LP
Pre-order the vinyl https://inparadisum.bandcamp.com/album/verdaillon
Out September 15th 2016

Descending from the Toulousian post-hardcore scene, Romain Barbot and Gregory Buffier have produced more than a dozen tormented ambient-drone records under the name Saåad, such as the remarkable Deep Float (Hands In The Dark, 2014). Upon invitation of the local Les Orgues festival, giving them access to the Puget organ located in the Church of Notre-Dame de la Dalbade, they composed an original creation that In Paradisum is proud to publish under the form of the album Verdaillon. 

Through dynamics of elevation, suspension and tension, Saåad’s music reaches altered states. Consisting of thick patches of sound, it gathers powerful harmonies and buries them under samples of the world’s rustling sounds. The sources are rarely identifiable, which makes for the singularity to each record. 

Verdaillon goes against the lyrical outbursts that are familiar to a certain register of ambient music, and towards an extremely rare quality of dynamic and detail. The record’s singular and discreet beauty is due to the organ in all of its most secular aspects, and to a certain « something in the air » of that particular place, on those particular days. The finale of Vorde provides the key to the record: it takes the listeners back to the instrument’s origins, at a time when the spiritual was part of ordinary life.

Tales From the Drought

Portugal’s 10 000 Russos are the latest to join the Fuzz Club Session alumni, with the 12” set for release January 22nd. Russos’ live session encapsulates their incredible droning psychedelia at its most raw and industrial, the live analogue recording allowing the band to shine in all their noisy glory. 

Offering four dark, experimental soundscapes that are structured by an array of effects and loops; the swathes of celestial noise and howling feedback underpinned by driving, monolithic Neu!-esque rhythms, hypnotic droning guitars a la Spacemen 3 and atonal, reverb-soaked vocals bringing to mind Mark E Smith on a ton of acid

Pre-order vinyl and tapes at bit.ly/funadv

Funeral Advantage have been mostly hermetic since the release of 'Body Is Dead', the band’s 2015 debut album. With the exception of some sporadic touring through the US and Canada, Tyler Kershaw (Funeral Advantage’s sole member) has kept to himself, writing and recording what would be the next chapter of Funeral Advantage – a new EP entitled ‘Please Help Me’.

If 'Body Is Dead' came from a place of hope, 'Please Help Me' comes from a place of desolation and confusion. Written during the disintegration of a long term relationship, the record works through the existential feelings of hopelessness and meaninglessness that followed.

While the lyrical content is much darker on this release, musically ’Please Help Me’ picks up where ‘Body Is Dead’ left off – irresistibly bright, and melodic dream-pop. ‘Please Help Me’ will be released on February 24th on limited edition vinyl and cassette tape, as well as digitally.
