Cistem Failure

“Cistem Failure”

Content Warning for the album – in our songs we talk about sexual assault, misogyny, police abuse, animal exploitation, the prison system, and state repression as consequences of living under capitalism and patriarchy. Its important to discuss and open up space for these topics so that we can fight domination and hieriarchies, but this takes a lot of strength when we are surrounded by the reality of this brutal system and sometimes those reminders are too strong and triggering even in the things that we love. so we hope that by giving some content warnings (some songs have a bigger one than others) that everyone can make their own decisions about what to be confronted by.

After some times of playing music on the street together, and writing songs, this album and band was given life.
We feel that we life in a very absurd time, where alot of things are changing. We want to create more of a politcal presence within the punk and radical scene, and create a space for female associated people, queer and trans folk to play music, join campaigns, do direct actions and feel empowered. Patriarchy is alive and kicking, even within our radical movements and we feel that this has to be confronted.

We feel our music should be free to download for everyone, that is why our bandcamp says, name your price. But ofcourse, touring and making cds costs some money sometimes, so if you feel like supporting us in that way (if you can) then thats cool!

nad labem – IN RUHE AUSRASTEN

nad labem – IN RUHE AUSRASTEN
[djummi.023]

nad labem

“IN RUHE AUSRASTEN”

nad labem, Czech for “on the Elbe”. This is the suffix to the names of some towns that are located at this river on the Czech side. For the trio around the Dresden musician David Friedemann, nad labem also names a place. The one from which his music could emerge, perhaps even had to. It is closely intertwined with his person, the time, and the places (of its creation). nad labem: A fateful place in the best sense of the word, whose vibe constantly resonates through all actions, crafting, and rejection, like a basic tone and ultimately gives the music its peculiar mood.

And it is indeed unique: the vocabulary of Indietronica and Electropop is just the starting point for a sound that seems to get along without references as if it had been created in a valley of the unsuspecting. Bulky grooving beats, well-dosed synthesizer sounds, and clear, direct vocals are the predominant elements of the music. The picture-rich but always encrypted German texts contrast excitingly with this clarity.

While working on the album “IN RUHE AUSRASTEN” the very personal solo project of David Friedemann, also known as the drummer for the Dresden bands Planet9, ne:o and menkenkes, has grown into a trio. Together with the musician friends Friederike Pilz and Marco Sebastian Christ (ne:o, Shortcuts, The Cream Canteens) he worked on his song ideas in 2021/22.

Sonda

“Wahadelko”

Aleks and Seba have already done a bit for the alternative scene. The first one in Renmin Ribao, the second one in Raw Plastic and the Paris Syndrome. Apparently, the boys are still not enough and they try their hand at a completely different form. This is the first time we hear them in this style, but it is safe to say that they know what they are doing. The key to all listening pleasure is the distinctive chorus. Synthwave clashes with blurred vocals, setting a dreamy, even slightly nostalgic mood. Pretty simple diagram, but there is something very catchy here. It’s the same procedure I see in some MGMT or Molly Nilsson songs. Clash of negative and positive emotions in a very light form.

For Example John – Welcome to the Johnnverse

For Example John – Welcome to the Johnnverse
[Wuerfel34]

For Example John

“Welcome to the Johnnverse”

Slapstick, spectacle, riot, downhill, electro-bruzze, party, always firmly on. That’s how we imagine the Johnnyverse, to which For Example John invites us here. A classic second album, more of everything we love, one step further, everything a bit bigger and wilder, the next level. That’s the way we want it. All our expectations are satisfied. Hell Yeah.

And yet, and yet, and yet…

Every now and then, lines of lyrics stick in our ears for days. “Everything that bothers us now, has to be destroyed long ago”. Our speech, already for years, funny that still nothing has changed. It’s because of “the capital”, of course. And maybe also because of the “bread and games” for which we are always too happy to drive our dreams against the wall. Anyway. “Look at my super flat screen”. None of this bothers us, because we are, after all, the “generation with the retro shoes”. And we hope that this can help us further.” It’s all not so dramatic, we know where the ball is in our court. Even if we have long since lost the laughter of our childhood. And at some point, saving the world will somehow work out. Until then: Party on, party hard.

In this sense: Welcome to the Johnnyverse.

P.S.
I love you.

P.P.S.
But sometimes you stink.

Rupert Falsch – Im Zenit / In Gefahr

Rupert Falsch – Im Zenit / In Gefahr

Rupert Falsch

“Im Zenit / In Gefahr”

“An intense opening here to a degree that it reminded me of our old faves Add N To (X). That was before the vocals gave ‘Im Zenit / In Gefahr’ a certain robotic lounge and a charm that meant our heart returned to a normal beat range.

For all that Rupert Falsch really appears to be going for it here, a night-time provocateur with an eye on the dancefloor but something more than that too for there is a relentless spirit to the piece that sees it change its colours a couple of times over its running time.

It stands apart for its incessant frequency and there is currency in such things as it affords the listener a hypnotic hideaway as all other distractions are put in the shade.

The whole effect is quite inorganic as if it had been designed by the machines whose sole purpose is to take over but at the same time the rhythmic qualities meant we were quite consumed in a Malajube (or for that matter Air) kind of way.”

rADio eNd – OddSchool

rADio eNd – OddSchool
[LCNLP149]

rADio eNd

“OddSchool”

The Necrophile Hummingbird Netlabel presents Oddschool by rADio eNd.

“Odd Music for Derealizationed People”.

About beneath and above the surface of this album :
Oddschool is the third album of rADio eNd with for members the same trio*. While Hum Antenna was more about psychedelic explosion, Underground Culture was… well, about the Underground Culture, OddSchool is focus perhaps more on the reality study. And maybe the way we can communicate through music. We could have stayed more in the comfort zone with a mostly instrumental music, but since the very beginning, rADio eNd is thought like a kind of sonar. That’s why OddSchool needed to be haunted by lyrics as well as by any kind of crypto mantras, to show how, each can unlock these mantras to get a personalized message, as I did.
Also, despite I far enjoy not straight political stuff, mostly because the way this music is created is far more political than any talk, and that Dead or Alive ! could have been more universal and timeless, only with the mantra about the reversing of the symbols. I will not do a list of how the world is in huge trouble these days, but the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade law in the United States is too much dramatic for so many women, to keep my mouth shut down.
It can be interesting also to notice, that despite I do not voluntary transposed them in this song, many ideas were already in the word I added to underground culture presentation, to understand the whole creation process.
About Ok with everything… the meaning is first at the edge of two interpretations, in the industrial music style. It needs to decipher it by yourself as you can do with a koan, then only, the mantra deliver its message. This could talk, as well about acceptation, as a way to upgrade oneself, as I experienced it in my own life, acceptation (not resignation), to be able to really integrate something. As well, about fake acceptation, the same way that the kind of stuff like being friend with everyone indeed lead to be friend with no one, avoiding conflict can, that way, make you stand up for wicked things, at the opposite to any values which could motivate to do this.
Next I added the lyrics about Karpman triangle, perhaps because to remove these roles is a fine way to solve this mantra. More generally, like if you learn to remove your own storytelling,
you’ll be able to remove the propaganda storytelling.
Last but not least, there is an educational dimension in the whole album. When I was younger I’ve been studying, a short time, in the “lycée expérimental de Saint-Nazaire”. A school based on active pedagogies. Where students are equal in right with the educative team members. Where everyone does as well administrative tasks, cleaning, cooking, etc. students choice what they want to study and vote for the establishment choices.
There are other ways to learn if we want another world. In france in ordinary colleges, things are very slowly changing, but what is the meaning to form the teachers to the caring without to let them do the criticism of the system ? While the whole society is build on violence, competition, exclusion, and so on. Also, if certain are still thinking like being superior because of their knowledge to the student. And often haven’t got experience outside of scholar system as human being. Or also the way sometime teachers can disgust students by showing art through the academic critic’s point of view, for example avoiding anything really subversive as well in the shape than in the essence.
Or still severing everything instead to show how linked all domains, learn to transpose, can help you to build yourself and live by yourself.
So many things to say about this kind of things, that I prefer to do not develop this more. An anecdote about the artwork, to complete the way things are linked, I made it with a glass photography of a school in ruin.
D-I-Y studies shall be a lifetime task, to experiment with art for example is a fine tool to learn, creations are meaningful fruits to help you to grow up.

Twin Realities Dreamers

“Desired Reality”

The Necrophile Hummingbird Netlabel presents Desired Reality by Twin Realities Dreamers.

“Healing Music for Reality Shifters”

Desired Reality appeared like a soap bubble above the streams of blood flowing in this early 2022. I found myself with a poem that had the same name as a poem by Misuzu, Night and Day and was in the same spirit. And from thread of synchronicity‚ to needle of dream, I gathered some of her poems to mix them with some of mine. This album is addressed as it’s used to say “to the children who have grown up but have been able to keep their child’s heart alive.”

All tracks except the 3rd and the lyrics are live improvisations recorded in the few days before the 24th of March 2022.

Poetry by Misuzu Kaneko & Morne.

Special thanks to Damaris Baker for making me discover Misuzu’s poetry.

Dedicated to all the victims of war around the world.

Open letter to the aliens previously published on Camembert Electrique in Xmasia V/A compilation camembertelectrique.bandcamp.com/album/xmasia

Twin Realities Dreamers replaced since several years by Multiple Personality 3, but sometime reality is so heavy that it’s enjoyable to bring back this kind of healing energies.

It might be also because I needed to send a love letter to early Lo-Fi outsider music like Wesley Willis & Daniel Johnston despite by some ways this sounds closer of early The Legendary Pink Dots…

Desired Reality

Night And Day.

It’s often when we almost forgot the day,

at the very end of the night,

when we begin to doubt that he will finally rise,

may the horizon be ablaze with the fires of the new day.

Others believe it’s night,

but it’s only their eyesight,

who has weakened so much,

that they no longer see anything.

It would be enough if they listened to its warmth on their skin,

to know that the day is here.

Finally there are those who swear by electricity,

who don’t know what dawn means,

maybe they are the most surprised,

when they find out how much

its brilliance eclipses all others.

Peace is Alive.

If love is the fire, then peace is water for the world.

Peace is not a deadly calm,

but a joyful smile.

Peace is a state of mind,

when you are no more hungry noch thirsty,

because love feeds you.

Peace is a feeling,

when you feel connected with all the beings.

because be linked feeds you.

Peace is a music,

when you are no more the slave of time

because you are creating your own rhythm.

Peace is your will,

when you are not afraid to make your own choices

because you accept that sometime,

you make the wrong one, to learn…

Peace is a skill,

when you are no more afraid to be hurt,

when you prefer to be wound than to hurt any others,

because you know how to heal yourself.

Peace is your consciousness,

when you know that the meaning of life

is to be one among the others, and they are no more strangers.

Peace is a dream,

but the kind of dream you want to dream awake.

This is a dream,
but this is alive.

Pull the pom pom with a syntonisation Network.

If every Sunday at the sunset,

If everyone turns into a human tuner.

If every frequencies are set on the same phase :
wishing the best to every creatures alive on earth.

We will do a step together in direction of a dream world.

Sure it could sounds like these old religions,
as well like anything new age,
indeed it’s just a naive child magic.

What do we have to lose ?

Would you win a chance to make a change ?

What would be the world if we develop our consciousness ?

PIRATE Tapes – OVER CAN

PIRATE Tapes – OVER CAN
[LCNLP143]

PIRATE Tapes

“OVER CAN”

The Necrophile Hummingbird Netlabel and Indie Rock Mag present OVER CAN by PIRATE Tapes in free download here archive.org/details/PIRATE_Tapes_Over_Can and here indierockmag.bandcamp.com/album/over-can

“Junk Music for Can Lovers” (version française en dessous)

About over the surface of this album :

The rhythm of Over Can is strongly marked by the use of a small electronic speed variator, bought in a garage sale for 2 euros. Originally it had no particular function, it was just made to serve as a practical exercise in technology class and could have ended up in a trash can. Instead, by chance it became a key part of my turntable circuit. It is now coupled to my record player to allow me to vary the speed of the loops that I make with rubber bands. A little more in reality because like the sun visor I used before, these loops oscillate being sensitive to both vibrations and these variations.

This is a detail that testifies to the Do-It-Yourself spirit which is an essential characteristic of the unclassifiable music shared by the Necrophile Hummingbird. Anything can become a musical source, it is the experimentation process that allows it. At the start of the netlabel we weren’t looking to make experimental music, we were doing musical experimentations because we didn’t have access to overpriced instruments. Creativity, the hijacking of toys, the recycling of household appliances, the malfunctioning of instruments at the end of their life, have opened up horizons for us that are much less common than those of ordinary musicians.
For those who would like to find avenues of experimentation, reading the french magazine Discuss is more than recommended :
archive.org/details/discuts-pdf

About below the surface :

The same way our album Faust Tape archive.org/details/PIRATE_Tapes_Faust_tape evokes more than it imitates Faust, we didn’t want to fall into a caricature of CAN, but on the contrary find its spirit, in particular the kind of avant-garde experimentation featured on Tago Mago and Ege Bamyasi. This no doubt explains why intense psychedelia oozes from OVER CAN. It can also be seen as a literal reading of Krautrock: “sauerkraut rock”, as at times the cursor is pushed far, closer to concrete music.

Even if to create it we were only a duo, even a trio, because the elements taken from Onl(y)ou had their say in the creation process, it is above all the fruit of a certain conception of collaboration in an improvisation group without a leader, where each member can carry the music into their universe according to the pieces and albums. It is also a reminder that this musical current, if I am not mistaken, was relatively marked by the psychedelic movement and the anarcho-libertarian and situ protest movement that developed in Germany around the 70s. CAN means Communist Anarchist Nihilist. It is also found in the phrase “Only Lovers Can Cover Can”, which perhaps means that it is not music of the Egos, but of the heart, made with the guts, which refers to this consciousness, as has said David Lynch recently in a video intended for Vladimir Putin, to belong to a planetary family. Faced with the ravages of all nationalisms, we are earthlings. And this whatever the borders that the rulers will place. Whatever their lies to divide us and the fears they harbor. The day humanity succeeds in getting rid of predatory behaviors, of all those who are addicted to power, then we will know peace, and freedom will no longer be an illusion. But for that, we may need to get to know ourselves and understand the world in which we live by feeling its holistic dimension. Supporting all populations without double standards. And why not use degrowth to limit the climate crisis. And break the screens of our terminals to go outside to meet with living beings. Loving each other without owning each other. Tearing asphalt from the streets to make gardens. Share all the earth’s resources fairly. And take the time to live. Together.

Recorded on Earth in 1976 and 2021 at Studio Inner Space in Weilerswist and Studio 112 in Dole and Cave Haven in Foucherans .

++++++++++++

Le netlabel le Colibri Nécrophile et Indie Rock Mag présentent OVER CAN par PIRATE Tapes.

“Junk Music for Can Lovers”

A propos de sur la surface de cet album :

Le rythme d’Over Can est fortement marqué par l’usage d’un petit variateur électronique de vitesse, acheté dans un vide-grenier pour 2 euros. A l’origine il n’avait pas de fonction particulière, il a juste été fabriqué pour servir d’exercice pratique en cours de technologie et aurait pu terminer dans une poubelle. Au lieu de cela, le hasard a voulu qu’il devienne un élément clef de mon circuit platine. Il est désormais couplé à mon tourne-disque pour me permettre de faire varier la vitesse des boucles que je réalise avec des élastiques. Un peu plus en réalité car à l’instar du pare-soleil que j’utilisais avant, ces boucles oscillent étant sensibles aussi bien aux vibrations qu’à ces variations.

C’est un détail qui témoigne de l’esprit Do-It-Yourself qui est une caractéristique essentielle des musiques hors-normes diffusées par le Colibri Nécrophile. Toute chose peut devenir une source musicale, c’est la démarche d’expérimentation qui le permet. Au commencement du netlabel nous ne cherchions pas à faire de la musique expérimentale, nous faisions des expérimentations musicales car nous n’avions pas accès à des instruments hors de prix. La créativité, le détournement de jouets, le recyclage d’appareils électroménagers, les dysfonctionnements d’instruments en fin de vie, nous ont ouvert des horizons bien moins courants que ceux du commun des musiciens.
Pour celles et ceux qui voudraient trouver des pistes d’expérimentation, la lecture du magazine Discuts est plus que conseillée.
archive.org/details/discuts-pdf

A propos de sous la surface :

A la façon dont notre album Faust Tape archive.org/details/PIRATE_Tapes_Faust_tape évoque plus qu’il n’imite Faust, nous ne voulions surtout pas tomber dans une caricature de CAN, mais au contraire retrouver son esprit, en particulier l’expérimentation avant-gardiste présente sur Tago Mago et Ege Bamyasi. Cela explique sans doute pourquoi un psychédélisme intense suinte d’OVER CAN. Cela peut être vu aussi comme une lecture littérale du Krautrock : « rock choucroute », tant par moments le curseur est poussé loin, se rapprochant plus de la musique concrète.

Même si pour le créer nous n’étions qu’un duo, voir un trio, vu que les éléments puisés sur Onl(y)ou avaient leur mot à dire dans le processus de création, c’est avant tout le fruit d’une certaine conception de la collaboration dans un groupe d’improvisation sans leader où chaque membre peut emporter la musique dans son univers au gré des morceaux et des albums. C’est aussi un rappel que ce courant musical, si je ne me trompe pas, a été relativement marqué par le mouvement psychédélique et le mouvement contestataire anarcho-libertaire et situ qui s’est développé en Allemagne autour des années 70. CAN signifie Communiste Anarchiste Nihiliste. On le retrouve aussi dans la phrase « Only Lovers Can Cover Can », qui signifie peut-être que ce n’est pas une musique des Egos, mais du cœur, faites avec les tripes, qui renvoie à cette conscience, comme l’a dit il y a peu David Lynch dans une vidéo destinée à Vladimir Poutine, d’appartenir a une famille planétaire. Face aux ravages de tous les nationalismes, nous sommes terriens. Et ce quelles que soient les frontières que placeront les gouvernants. Quels que soient leurs mensonges pour nous diviser et les peurs qu’ils entretiennent. Le jour où l’humanité réussira à se débarrasser des comportements prédateurs, de tous ceux qui sont accros au pouvoir, alors nous connaîtrons la paix, et la liberté ne sera plus une illusion. Mais pour cela il nous faut peut-être apprendre à nous connaître et comprendre le monde dans lequel on vit en ressentant sa dimension holistique. Soutenir toutes les populations sans faire deux poids deux mesures. Et pourquoi pas utiliser la décroissance pour limiter la crise climatique. Et casser les écrans de nos terminaux pour sortir dehors se rencontrer entre êtres vivants. S’aimer sans se posséder. Arracher le bitume des rues pour en faire des jardins. Partager équitablement toutes les ressources de la terre. Et prendre le temps de vivre. Ensemble.

Enregistré sur Terre en 1976 et 2021 au Studio Inner Space de Weilerswist et au Studio 112 à Dole ainsi qu’au Cave Haven à Foucherans.

Oruã – Íngreme

Oruã – Íngreme
[TNR.108]

Oruã

“Íngreme”

Oruã was born in downtown Rio de Janeiro in late 2016, around the corner from the parliamentary coup that ended for many people some belief in our democracy. Recordings on old cassette tapes made in the cramped Escritório in the middle of the city yielded two albums and an EP very representative of the atmosphere that hovered at the end of the last decade: “Sem Benção / Sem Credça” (2017), “Romã” (2019), and the EP “Tudo Posso” (2019) were all released in Brazil via Transfusão Noise Records and in the US via IFB Records.

In 2018, an election year and that of a national trucker drivers’ strike, Oruã crossed the country and crossed borders. Through a large number of cities, capitals and small towns, the band traveled outside of Rio de Janeiro more intensely, beyond the usual Rio-São Paulo axis. Taking the BR-101 they reached Natal, cut through Bahia, and then down to Uruguay, also traveling through the south of the country. During this trip by borrowed car, “Romã” was being conceived.

The following year, in 2019, Oruã toured the United States and Europe for the first time, opening for Built to Spill. Soon after, at the same time that Oruã opened for BTS, two thirds of the band from Rio, Lê Almeida and João Luiz, would return to the stage after their set to compose the Brazilian version of Built to Spill together with João Casaes (today, in 2021, Casaes is part of Oruã’s most recent formation).

Then, in mid 2019, with less than a year to go until the future worldwide decree of the pandemic, without even dreaming of the social isolation that would happen, Oruã embarks on their second international tour, the first in Europe, playing at venues like the O2 Forum in London and the Rockefeller Music Hall in Oslo, and then a second tour of the U.S. totaling approximately 70 shows until the middle of that year. In the second half of the year, Lê, João Luiz and J.C. followed the rest of Built to Spill’s tour through the USA playing only in the North American band until the end of the year.

In this period, drummer Phill Fernandes leaves Oruã. Karin Santa Rosa (who had already shot two great Oruã road tours: one to the Northeast and another to the South of Brazil) joined the band while Lê, Casaes and João Luiz were still on the road with Built to Spill. She, who didn’t actually play drums yet, spent some time practicing to compose the latest version of Oruã that would feature two drums, as in the beginning. After the end of the 2019 BTS tour, João Luiz also leaves Oruã and returns to Brazil. Lê and J.C. stay in Boise (USA) recording Built to Spill’s new album and, in parallel, start developing a new Oruã.

“I started recording this record in 2019, the year my life took a giant jolt. I was on a huge tour playing drums with Built to Spill, a band that I spent a good part of my life listening to a lot and in no kind of dream would I ever imagine myself being a part of.

In the middle of the tour with BTS I was putting together a lot of recordings, things that were giving us paths. From these tracks we were putting together the new line-up. Daniel Duarte, who had played on the first album, returned to the band, which had two drums again. Bigú Medine started playing the bass and J.C. took over the synths, mpc, and arrangements. The foundation for íngreme existed before we came to live in Búzios, but it was living in a calmer and greener region that the diamond was lapidated with care and dedication. This was the first record I mixed on a notebook. The previous ones were made on cassette tape.

Some tracks were recorded in the USA, such as “Aluanda” and the first part of “Cravina Flor”. The great majority were recorded in Búzios, in Emerências.

The lyrics mostly verse, reflect and propose to think about some differences… social and racial. Some with visions of different perspectives of a better world, and others rougher, almost curses or prayers, in general to uplift morale.”

Like a photograph, Oruã’s recordings register, through sound and lyrics, the moment. As no other Brazilian musical group does nowadays, they transform into power, into a rich work of obstacles lived through. Also like a photograph, the sound recording has its thematic approach, not limited to what is framed, and says a lot about the perspective (vision and origin, at the same time) of the person who creates it. If you pay attention, it is all there.

The soundscape of the steep hike unfolds into other landscapes – greener, more percussive, and spiritual, as they discover for the first time a different lifestyle. Not a calmness, but a truly independent lifestyle. Free. Growing up in adversity, the child of a turbulent decade, Oruã has no fear. In 2021, after five years of activity, after traveling the most varied roads, the band does not forget what and how the journey was made while being grateful. It is, finally, time for the harvest.

Valgidrà

“Watched Watchers”

Quatrième sortie déjà pour Valgidrà sur IRM Netlabel, après deux EPs avec Konejo et un premier album, “Warplush Vol 1”, paru il y a tout juste un an. Aux influences électroniques warpiennes de ce dernier, influencé notamment par Boards of Canada ou les “Selected Ambient Works” d’Aphex Twin, le Rennais a préféré pour “Watched Watchers”, composé sur près de deux ans, une approche plus éclatée qui fait feu de tout bois, une narration plus dynamique aux contrepieds fréquents et aux respirations d’autant plus captivantes. L’album télescope ainsi à la manière d’un “Psyence Fiction” sampling baroque et beats abstract (“David II”), trip-hop lynchien et spoken word (“Hypnik Jerk”), nappes électroniques déstructurées et mélodies acoustiques (le single “Golden Trap”), ambient cinématographiques et spleen cristallin (“Yellow Kalaw”), orchestrations malmenées et rythmique en roue libre (“Strings Interlude”), synthés saturés et groove hip-hop (“Queried”, peut-être le sommet du disque), évoluant d’un downtempo capiteux (“Moaïs”) à une électronique plus froide et malaisante (le morceau-titre), de syncopations mélancoliques (“Mood”) en pulsations techno étouffées (“Sampling Life”). Comme chez UNKLE à l’époque où DJ Shadow tenait encore les rênes, l’humeur est plutôt… more
