Story of Evangelista, So Far Evangelista has a new album called The Prince Of Truth. Here's 1 the story of Evangelista, so far. It started as a solo project, Carla doing a tour, playing mainly long improv versions of what eventually became the title song and name of the band, Evangelista, using only samples, voice and guitar. On one of these shows, in Montreal, Thierry and Jessica from Godspeed You Black Emperor/Thee Silver Mt. Zion sat in on the show and Efrim Menuck was in attendance. He expressed interest in recording the project in a more realized form. It was a conceptual piece from the onset, the concept being to deliver gospel and noise in the spirit of sound and love. Carla had been friends with Don and Ian of Constellation Records for a long time and pretty soon the ball just started rolling, seemingly by itself. Constellation Records took the project under their wing in the aforementioned spirit and have stuck by the project ever since. Figure 1. Carla solo. photo: wolfgirl After recording the first record known as Evangelista--- in an unbridled state of desire--- Carla, while playing a show in San Diego, came across the magical pony Tara Barnes also playing 2 that night----in the truly sick and mystical Business Lady (Load). The bond was instantaneous, shy and tuff conversations accelerated into endless touring and the birth of what would be the title track of the next album, Hello, Voyager. This resulted in taking the name of the first album as a permanent band name based on Barnes' and Bozulich's collaboration. Hello, Voyager, contrary to the inward torment of the first album, was more invitational to confrontation and constructive chaos. This also ushered in the beginning of a new type of collaboration for Bozulich. Barnes brought irresistible lyrics to the table on albums Hello, Voyager (Truth Is Dark Like Outer Space)and [forthcoming third album] The Prince of Truth (On The Captain's Side). Figure 2. Tara & Carla at London’s Luminaire. Let's talk about Dominic Cramp (Borful Tang, Qulfus). Tara Barnes corralled this pony in Oakland, Ca. over a cool beer and a hot band. Dominic is a sound artist and tickles the ivories. After seeing him laying down slabs of atonal drone fever with the trio Modular Set, she felt that his daunting sound and abstract compositional leanings would complement the now juggernaut velocity of the dark ship Evangelista. During constant touring through most of 2008 on various (2) continents, the trio moved towards making the third Evangelista album, The 3 Prince of Truth. Figure 3. Dom w/Professor Crinkle, the tour-machine Arriving in Montreal in the dead of winter, the band intended, as in the past, to compose and improvise half the album right then and there in the studio. Several songs were sketched out in rehearsal rooms around the city with the likes of Nadia Moss, Thierry Amar and Jonah Fortune. Ches Smith and Shahzad Ismaily flew in for the occasion. Some songs came together in various whimsical ways. For example, much was accomplished in the pivotal Lisa Gamble's little kitchen, complete with organ, drums, amps that clip on to your belt and musical saw. The bones of The Slayer, Iris Didn't Spell, Tremble Dragonfly were all put together there sans Bozulich.... and there is a reason. Whereas this write-as-you-go approach had worked for the first two records, this time Carla got hella sick, so hella in fact, that it was pneumonia and this fucked up the whole plan. When the band and various cohorts went in to the venerable Hotel2Tango studio with their longtime engineer Efrim Menuck, Carla had to drop out of the session early and the rest of the basic tracks were recorded with Tara and Dominic guiding the special guests. While Bozulich's input was there for the structuring of the tunes it was absent for much of what was put 4 to tape. Figure 4. The Prince of Truth cover art: Jesse McLoskey Carla then took the tracked recordings from the studio to Los Angeles where she joined up yet more fantastical musicians such as Nels Cline, Devin Hoff, and Jessica Catron, and continued working on the album. Much of the album, including vocals was recorded in her bedroom. With Carla in LA and Dominic and Tara in Oakland, the three passed tracks back and forth over the internet as the final form of The Prince of Truth came together. All that was left was the artwork and Jesse McClosky, responsible for much of the art on The Geraldine Fibbers' albums was recruited. He handed over some beautiful wicked stuff which maybe you are looking at now! With the release of Prince of Truth there will be a typically massive amount of touring and re-invention as the shows progress. As of now the excellent drummer and Tara's bandmate in her group Duchesses, Mike Tracy, will be playing with the band 5 on upcoming shows. No doubt new songs will be shaping up as the touring progresses. Constellation Records is at the helm of this project and the shameless band will go anywhere for almost any reason. We shall see what happens. Fun. Sad. Dark. Sometimes, uncharacteristically prim. Evangelista. Figure 5. Debut of drummer MikeTracy at SF's Eagle Tavern, July 17, 2009 photo: Michael Zellner And now, in closing, a word from the band—: Like ghost birds in an unfinished form, we offer music that is more than a token of escapism, rather we hover in an intermediate plane, sending messages that take form in the mind of the listener. Messages that shoot to and fro, bouncing off the listener's own skewed perspective and back onto the imperfect mutating musics, creating somehow an eminent salvation from the demons of the real world, not of God. Creatures- lift your faces to the sound of the sky, defiant and gentle as a kneeling mantis before the kill. Evangelista is a mutable beast, borne from the stormcloud.

BESNARD LAKES, JEALOUS GIRLFRIENDS (Tonight and Sunday) The Besnard Lakes, from Montreal, build childlike, Brian Wilsonesque melodies into fuzz-drenched epics fraught with violence. The Jealous Girlfriends, one of the best new bands in New York, float through soft and erotic clouds of guitar and keyboards that can turn grungy and turbulent; the soft and erotic stuff is whatʼs gotten their music on “Greyʼs Anatomy.” Tonight at 8:30, with Dappled Cities and the Muggabears, at the Mercury Lounge, 217 East Houston Street, at Ludlow Street, Lower East Side, (212) 260-4700, mercuryloungenyc.com; $12.

    Scott Amendola: Drummer/Composer/Bandleader/Educator “Amendola’s music is consistently engaging, both emotionally and intellectually, the product of a fertile and inventive musical imagination.” Los Angeles Times “If Scott Amendola didn't exist, the San Francisco music scene would have to invent him.” Derk Richardson, San Francisco Bay Guardian “Amendola has complete mastery of every piece of his drumset and the ability to create a plethora of sounds using sticks, brushes, mallets, and even his hands.”Steven Raphael, Modern Drummer “...drummer/signal-treater Scott Amendola is both a tyrant of heavy rhythm and an electric-haired antenna for outworldly messages (not a standard combination).” Greg Burk, LA Weekly For Scott Amendola, the drum kit isn’t so much an instrument as a musical portal. As an ambitious composer, savvy bandleader, electronics explorer, first-call accompanist and capaciously creative foil for some of the world’s most inventive musicians, Amendola applies his wide-ranging rhythmic virtuosity to a vast array of settings. His closest musical associates include guitarists Nels Cline, Jeff Parker, Charlie Hunter, Hammond B-3 organist Wil Blades, violinists Jenny Scheinman and Regina Carter, saxophonists Larry Ochs and Phillip Greenlief, and clarinetist Ben Goldberg, players who have each forged a singular path within and beyond the realm of jazz. While rooted in the San Francisco Bay Area scene, Amendola has woven a dense and far-reaching web of bandstand relationships that tie him to influential artists in jazz, blues, rock and new music. A potent creative catalyst, the Berkeley-based drummer is the nexus for a disparate community of musicians stretching from Los Angeles and Seattle to Chicago and New York.

Simultaneously medieval & modern, its distinctive, dark and elegantly beautiful music has set the standard for “chamber rock”, a New Music hybrid of Francophone origin and worldwide appeal that UZ pioneered. UZ’s singular sound derives from its unique instrumentation (piano and keyboards, violin, clarinets saxophone, oboe, bassoon, English horn, electric bass, drums) combined with brooding gothic imagery, elements of European folk and other world musics, the iconoclasm and intensity of rock, the relentless sonic experimentation of the avant garde, and leader and composer Daniel Denis’ classically-inspired writing style, influenced by early 20th Century avant garde classical composers. In the hands of some of the best musicians in Europe, these factors result in a group on the cutting edge of creating a new, vital, and unique fusion of classical and rock music. The band has remained on the cutting edge of New Music throughout the course of a career that began in the ‘70s and continues today, stretching and disintegrating the boundaries of classical and rock music alike to create a new, vital, and unique fusion.

  • Constellation
    CONSTELLATION La critica musicale ha spesso identificato alcuni generi musicali con le città nelle quali si erano sviluppati, arrivando a far coincidere musica e toponomastica come nel caso del Canterbury sound o del Madchester. In realtà di solito si è trattato di un tentativo di semplificare la realtà per rendere intelligibili fenomeni la cui complessità sarebbe stata di difficile comprensione alla maggioranza dei lettori delle varie riviste del settore; basti pensare alla San Francisco psichedelica, al country di Nashville, all'elettronica berlinese, alla Seattle grunge o a Londra per il punk, ecc. Detto ciò, in pochi avrebbero immaginato che nel novero di queste “capitali” musicali sarebbe apparso il nome di Montreal, principale città del Quebec canadese. Eppure se dovessimo cercare una città con la quale identificare il post- rock degli anni Duemila non potremmo che guardare verso questa metropoli di più di un milione e mezzo di abitanti, se non altro per l’etichetta discografica indipendente Constellation records che vi ha sede. Nata nel 1997, la Constellation si è fin da subito caratterizzata per le “ostiche” scelte musicali e di marketing, dimostrando negli anni un'ammirevole coerenza che le ha permesso di intercettare le espressioni più avanzate e innovative del movimento post-rock canadese – ovvero il meglio del post-rock tout-court –, distinguendosi commercialmente dalle tante etichette indipendenti grazie a confezioni in digipack dominate da colori tenui e da un’originalità grafica e iconografica che diventa determinante nel trasmettere anche visivamente i contenuti musicali. Ma forse per comprendere il percorso qui proposto occorre partire dall’inizio, ovvero dalla definizione di Post-rock.

  • Neue Selbstverständlichkeiten
    # 2017/32 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2017/32/neue-selbstverstaendlichkeiten Constellation Records boykottiert Israel Neue Selbstverständlichkeiten Von Jonas Engelmann Auf Godspeed You! Black Emperor konnten sich viele Hörer einigen. Die Betreiber ihres Labels Constellation Records wollen den Export ihrer Platten nach Israel vermeiden. »Ich war den größten Teil meiner Punkrock-Jugend der einzige Jude im Raum«, sagte Efrim Menuck in ­einem Interview über die Gründung seiner Band A Silver Mt. Zion im Jahr 2000. Die Aufnahmen zum Debütalbum »He Has Left Us Alone, But Shafts Of Light Sometimes Grace The Corner Of Our Rooms … « empfand Menuck dagegen als eine »jüdische Erfahrung«; mit drei anderen jüdischen Musikern zu arbeiten habe ihn zum ersten Mal seine Isolation vergessen lassen. Im gleichen Jahr erschien auch das Album »Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven« seiner Hauptband God­speed You! Black Emperor, das trotz seiner Komplexität und Sperrigkeit in zahlreichen Jahresbesten­listen auf den vordersten Plätzen landete. Ästhetisch und politisch dem DIY-Punk-Gedanken verpflichtet, ließ sich die flächige Musik schwer einem Genre zuordnen, die Schublade Postpunk, in die sie häufig gesteckt wurde, war eigentlich zu klein. Felix Klopotek hat das Album als »Klagegesang auf die kulturindustrielle Domestizierung der Punkbewegung« beschrieben, und gerade die politischen Aspekte ihrer Musik hat die Band trotz fehlender Songtexte stets betont, durch Linernotes, Interviews und andere Verlautbarungen. Immer ging es um die Widersprüche des Kapitalismus, dem sich die Band trotz aller Mühe nicht vollständig entziehen konnte, und um politische Bezüge von Michail Bakunin über Emma Goldman bis zum Schwarzen Block. Allerdings war man darauf bedacht, das Prozesshafte und Unabgeschlossene, das auch der Musik innewohnte, zu betonen, Ambivalenzen und politische Differenzen auszuhalten.
