Hype Machine Favorites Vol. 2

April 2019

Another week, another playlist, and another bank holiday... Lots of great stuff this week, starting with some indie/garage rock from Greys, Life and the welcome return of The Black Keys. Then we glide into something with an African tinge (think Vampire Weekend) courtesy of Honey Moon, maintaining the vibe with the joyous sounds of Baloji, before getting a bit stranger and darker with Beak. Tree House (think Tom Tom Club or Talking Heads) bring us back closer to what passes for normality (in my world, anyway)before we head for Brazil with Os Muiraquitãns (ironically on the excellent Analog Africa label). Four Tet then points the way to Haythem Mahbouli to bring us home in a contemporary classical style (shades of Johann Johannsson). Track of the week: so many contenders... I love Haythem Mahbouli's "Catching The First Moment", Baloji's "L'hiver Indien", and Os Muiraquitãns "A Misturada", butTree House's "Head Up High" takes the honours this week.

Urochromes - Trope House - Out 5/31

We are excited to announce that Urochromes’ Trope House album will be out on May 31. On their first long player, Urochromes complement their catchy-as-fuck punk bangers with colorful experimental rock that choogles forth like the waters of the Mississippi River Delta where it was recorded. There are classic Urochromes chargers like first single “Hair So Big” and the catchy kiss-off “Millieux” that pair Dick Riddick’s concise and explosive playing with some of Jackieboy’s best sketches of uptight, paranoid characters on the edge. 

“Rumshpringa” plays it straight with a beautiful slow-burning riff and soul-searching lyrics (”When do I get my Rumshringa?... / I want to lean back in time like that Tower of Pisa”); it’s a new Urochromes classic where Riddick’s licks spark and lilt through the bridge toward the closing verse’s poignant refrain. The more experimental tracks, like the unhinged cover of Bikini Kill’s “Resist Psychic Death,” must be heard to be believed and show a band that gives not the slightest fuck about acceptance within the circles of boring cookie-cutter punk.

Combining the raw sound of Gary Wrong’s Jeth-Row Studios, where the album was tracked with the talents of longstanding Urochromes engineer Will Killingsworth (Dead Air Studios), Trope House delivers the most hi-fidelity Urochromes recording to date without sacrificing any spontaneity or power. Featuring artwork by John D. Morton (Electric Eels). Mastered by Carl Saff. First Edition of 1000 vinyl records.

Urochromes Bio

Since their formation as a guitar & drum machine duo in a Hadley Massachusetts farmhouse in 2015, Urochromes have releases 3 7” EPs and a compilation. They have toured the United States, Canada and Europe each time with different instrumentation and lineup in addition to the core members of Jackie Jackieboy and Dick Riddick. At times, the live band has included members of GLOSS, Half-Hearted Hero and Digital Manure. They have played with a diverse list of artists like Chrome, Little Howling Wolf, and Show Me The Body. In 2017 Pitchfork commented in a review of their Night Bully EP that their “unpredictability lends them a rare star quality.” In 2019 the band will release their debut long player, Trope House and tour North America and Europe.

Tree House is the project of London-based Will Fortna. Due to the thin walls, uptight roommates, and lack of equipment in his Brooklyn apartment in 2015, Tree House began as a decidedly minimalist project. Tree House’s name is a nod to both Arthur Russell, an early and enduring influence, and the aforementioned windowless loft space where Fortna taught himself how to sample drums and play the keyboard, composing using headphones, keyboards and hushed vocals. Over time, Fortna has developed a less constrained approach, reflecting the eclecticism of his musical interests, from Pharoah Sanders to Chairlift; Mulatu Astatke to David Byrne. 

Head Up High is Tree House’s first foray since 2017’s Into The Ocean EP. Building on Into The Ocean’s careful compositions and breezy aesthetic, Head Up High introduces a newfound sense of swagger into the Tree House ouvre. With a first draft that used sampled drums from the Talking Head’s Speaking in Tongues LP, the track is a proud display of its influences. An addictive, insistent groove propelled by squelching bass and rhythmic synth stabs form the track’s backbone - a tight pulse punctured by rapturous sax solos from long-time collaborator Nathan Pigott.

Tree House are following the release with a nationwide co-headline tour with Viewfinder, with whom they share the majority of on-stage members.

Greys - Kill Appeal

Flute, congas, bass, drums, guitar and clavinet; this unconventional arrangement of instruments intertwine to form the debut album by Badge Époque Ensemble - a group of creative improvisers assembled to perform new, largely instrumental compositions by Maximilian ‘Twig’ Turnbull (formerly Slim Twig).

Badge employs an eclectic cast of characters from the Toronto underground music scene, whose combined experience would take pages to spell out. It includes stints accompanying songwriters Andy Shauf and Marker Starling, outfitting heavies Blood Ceremony and Biblical, and respective careers spent gigging Django-jazz and the classical cannon. Badge’s distinctive sound arises from the diversity of these musical exploits, creating a palpable chemistry well captured on the live-tracked songs that form the group’s self-titled debut.

Part of this crucial chemistry can be attributed to the fact that four of the six players in the Ensemble have been at the core of the live, U.S. Girls band, a group that has scorched stages internationally over the past year and was hailed by Paste magazine as the best live band of 2018. Since 2015, when Turnbull released his final record as Slim Twig for DFA, he has largely concentrated his efforts as a producer and writer on the U.S. Girls project, together with making contributions to the theatrical rock outfit, Darlene Shrugg and the psychedelic jazz-funk collective, The Cosmic Range. Badge’s set of songs is yet another 180-degree turn for an increasingly collective-minded bandleader, who is singularly disdainful of any genre orthodoxy.

The record is a collection of densely packed grooves, arranged by committee. Dank set pieces culminate in album standout, ‘Undressed In Solitude’, which features the otherworldly r ’n b of guest vocalist, James Baley. Over 11 simmering minutes, the track defies the contemporary fixations of automated music to convincingly combine sensual and cerebral textures. While it may call to mind an improbable collision.

Pre Order the album here https://baloji.bandcamp.com/album/kaniama-the-yellow-version

Congolese-born, Belgium-based artist Baloji has released a new Afro-Disco single, "L'hiver Indien" (ft. Gael Faye), a faux feel-good track that beneath its euphoric exterior explores the disconnect of migrant communities in larger society. BlackBook premiered the remixed song from Baloji’s upcoming album Kaniama: The Yellow Version, out May 3 via Bella Union. Baloji discussed the album and more on NPR’s Weekend Edition.

The original "L'hiver Indien" - with over 2 Million Spotify streams - comes from Baloji’s previous album 137 Avenue Kaniama, released last year on Bella Union. The label is re-releasing the album as the artist originally intended it, as a one-track mixtape on May 3. In a world of fleeting singles, Kaniama: The Yellow Version brings back the full album listening experience.

Baloji is an artist in motion, a musician, poet, film director and man of many images and ideas. Baloji means “man of science” in Swahili, but shifted during the colonial period to “man of the occult sciences and sorcery.” With influences from Outkast and LCD Soundsystem to African rumba king Tabu Ley Rochereau and salsa music legends Fania Records, he mixes hip hop culture with Congolese guitars and a melodic approach with some French chanson structure. His perpetual motion is showcased in music videos like “Soleil De Volt,” where he fronts a satirical variety show band with flamboyant flare, also apparent in his sharp curation of Komono eyewear collections.
