MGMT (Management)

Surgiram para nos relembrar da loucura dos anos 60, o enigmatismo profético e alucinante dos Joy Division com sons psicadélicos do novo milénio. Estou a falar, é claro dos MGMT, vencedores do prémio CLICKER para o melhor álbum 2008.

Andrew VanWyngarden e Ben Goldwasser dão corpo aos MGMT.

O projecto começou a ganhar expressão em 2005, com o EP TIME TO PRETEND, conseguindo chamar atenção da editora Cantora Records mas, foi em 2006 que o produtor Steve Lilywhite, fascinado pela sonoridade e energia do duo nova-iorquino, propõe um contrato com a gigante Columbia Records da qual é executivo.

Com a possibilidade de dedicarem mais tempo à música, os MGMT começam a trabalhar as suas músicas com o produtor Dave Fridman, conhecido pelos seus trabalhos com Flaming Lips ou mesmo Mercury Red, ganhando então forma o álbum Oracular Spectacular.

A 22 de Janeiro de 2008, saiu o tão aguardado álbum (Oracular Spectacular) ganhando o respeito dos críticos e a admiração dos fans.

• Weekend Wars lyrics

MIT

Edi Winarni (vocals), Felix Römer (drums), Tamer Özgönenc, (programming,additional drums and moog) formam os MIT. Música difícil de sintetizar, na medida em que engloba um ruidoso pós-punk, electro-tinged, minimalista e futurista. Som que é simplesmente excelente. Confesso que a voz de Edi não me cativou mas a qualidade dos sons produzidos superam esta pequena falha remetendo a voz para segundo plano. (a menos que tu zie sprechen Deutsch). Acredito que a música dos MIT pode ir para além das letras e atravessar a barreira linguística.

Vencedor Do melhor Clip

A ele estão associadas imagens futuristas, de liberdade, sentimentos únicos, comoventes e emocionantes. A imaginação humana não tem limite e sempre procurou freneticamente a projecção do nosso futuro. Há uns anos atrás falávamos de cowboys, de romances vividos no deserto agora transformamos os cowboys em robots e o deserto em salas de montagem. Em comum encontramos o fascínio e o enigmatismo que sempre nos provocam e nos levam a entrar dentro da própria história. Chris Cunnighan* consegue emocionar-nos com uma simbiose perfeita entre dois corpos robóticos, com gestos tão humanos e tão perfeitos deixando-nos com uma questão. Será que estamos assim tão longe desse futuro robótico???!!!!



Mágico e perfeito!


*Chris Cunnigham - Director



"Most video directors have one trick that they use all the time. Then there are people who build a whole world around them. Chris is like that. We have only seen the tip of the iceberg with Chris."

All is Full of Love is an elegant, moving description of two Björk robots in love. As they are pieced and wired into existence, they sing to each other and fall in love. The video reaches its harmonious climax as the robots join in embrace while still being detailed by the industrial machines beside them. Each robot was designed by Cunningham, faces reminiscent of Björk's own delicate features.

"When I first heard the track I wrote down the words 'sexual,' 'milk,' 'white porcelain,' 'surgery.' [The video]'s a combination of several fetishes: industrial robotics, female anatomy, and flourescent light in that order." (Dazed and Confused)

"I think I mentioned that I think it should be ... something that's white and frozen, and then it sort of melts, because of love, and making love."

The robots were built by Paul Catling, who also sculpted the masks for Windowlicker, and mentored Cunningham about model-making. He sculpted the full-sized robots in clay in two hours.

"Every single shot in the video has about four layers. The first element is the shot of the set and the robot prop doing nothing, which we'd film for about 21 seconds. We'd then remove the prop Björk robot and put (the real) Björk in with her face painted white and wearing a blue suit. Using a mix of the (master shot and a live feed of Björk in frame) on the video monitor, we'd then try to match up as much as possible. It was a pretty crude and fairly terrifying method of shooting the video. For the Avid editing, I basically had a series of stills of a robot on a set and some crude shots of Björk wearing a blue suit with her face painted white. There was a definite feeling of insecurity all the way until the first couple of shots were finished in post, when I could finally tell whether it was working or not." (American Cinematographer)

"[Then] I started ... having ideas for ways of making the video better... So we were kind of improvising stuff in post. Up until that point I had absolutely no faith whatsoever in computer graphics, and now I'm more of a convert, really."

"I guess when you come across someone as special as Chris ... you just go humble. And you kind of realize that your role is more to make sure that there is a connection between the tune and the video. And then you set up a space, or like a place where he can work with no interference. And that sort of ... ends up being your role." http://www.director-file.com/cunningham/bjork.html

Crystal Castle

Crystal CastlE nascem nos instrumentos de Ethan Kath e na voz frenética de Alice Glass. Muita electrónica e uma voz eufórica fazem a imagem desta banda Canadiana. Projecto nascido em 2003 por Ethan Kath ao qual se juntou em 2005 a voz inconfundível de Alice Glass para a gravação de 5 instrumentais.

O álbum de estreia de Crystal Castle é um álbum eufórico, alucinado, paranóico a não perder para quem gosta de boa música electrónica.
