Back Mice Parade - The Parade of the Mice, anagrams, as always, by Adam Pierce and he expertly coordinated and dressed up for the seventh "parade" organized in cooperation with the British FatCat R c: What it Means to be left-handed .
The new album by New York percussionist comes three years after the sixth work and full of seemingly irreconcilable styles, ethnic groups compared, converging influences and collaborations relevant.
We pass by the rhythms and sounds of African-derived mbaqanghese and Swahili, the rarefied and ethereal little voices Iceland, the energetic schitarrate of classic '90s indie-rock with bits of shoe-gaze, some hints of indie-tronic and a nod to the index-folk-pop just stained with sadness and flavors brazileiri.
Initially, the album can be irritating if, like me, already the third bar of African sounds, come from a cultured and itchy hives seem, as according to some critics, more a collection of fine individuals who do not aligned and cohesive work.
Instead, as they take turns listening to, what emerges is a brilliant skill in knowing how to combine styles as diverse and vibrant originality seasoned sensitivity and good taste.
What it Means to be left-handed entrusts the eternal rhythm collaborator Doug Scharin (formerly Codeine , Rex , June Of 44 and HiM ), replaces the entry of the Icelandic elf- Kristin of Múm with those of Caroline Lufkin and Meredith Godreau , relies on the player kora Senegal Abdou M'Boup and singer Swahili Somi - as regards the African sounds - is enriched by the suggestions Jazzy-J-pop Japanese Clammbon and see the same commitment Pierce, besides the drums, sung in any Beck - iana and Sam Prekop - iana memory.
In addition, there are two azzecatissime cover: Mallo cup of Lemonheads , in homage to punk-alternative-rock, and Mary Anne of Tom Brosseau , as if to conclude so constant and varied beauty , in a conciliatory deference folk songwriting.
