WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID
rock into absurd dimensions with shamble shredders
the deconstructed punk sounds
notably theatrical performance
What a deranged, delightful fellow
outsider rock/disoriented punk/hip-hop phenom
they were pretty rough
this ended up being my favorite band of the night!! Playing most of a pretty rocking set down on the floor amongst the crowd, then band even let other people in the crowd sing. Tambourine guy danced through the crowd and shook it like nobody’s business.
The underwateriest seaweed murk, prematurely rotten vocal chords, with zest of the man who wishes to recreate all of K records through a tinfoil harmonica and gross braces, by himself because no one in high school likes his music.
he draws from his production and continues in his super-objective vision of both music (disorienting, rhythmically improbable and melodically disturbing) than the world around him, described with care and without artifice.
A continuous dialogue between reality and mind , which makes this album the true work of art of lo-fi, also because it is the only album where it actually makes sense to use it!
this ultra-objective vision of music is interesting as an expression of his ego in pure form , without musical structure but only with chaotic sound impressions ranging from banality to nonsense, almost he doesn't give a damn that there is someone listening.
personally, I don't struggle to describe it as a rock album, the critics have accepted much more improbable and experimental things, what GGG does is not an excess of virtuosity or bullshit , it bends the genre to its own image, not caring about the context, not caring about who listen, sometimes not even caring about the music.
indeed not a musician, and as such he needs no less than thirty-three pieces to proof his point. In a letter with this he writes 'this is sorta long, if you feel you get the gist after then first 10 that's cool! There are surprises throughout'. I got the gist probably after the first two songs. Gordon plays guitar most of the times, strumming no-chords, singing out of tune, with lyrics that are hard to decipher. Occasionally there are 'keyboards' and 'drums' to go along, which I assume are also played by Gordon and his self-styled non-musicianship (which is not the kind of non-musician as Brian Eno thought of, I mused). Lo-fi anyone? Outsider anyone? Although perhaps this not the really the kind of outsider I think, more like an attempt to be one via some non-sensical ramble. Is it bad? Well, I think, it's actually quite ok. Yes, thirty-three songs is a lot. The surprises I think eluded me.
With high pitched vocals and clanky chaos there is just a lot going on here musically, as Triple G takes us through some trippy lo-fi. Elements of psych come out and there are just crazy guitar riffs through the distortion and fuzz. If you're wondering whether there is a difference between "distortion" and "fuzz" there in fact is and Triple G uses them both. These songs make me think of this in terms of a singer/songwriter and yet they have that full band sound to them.
