  • Shopping Immer, Rückwärts Nimmer
    # 2018/04 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2018/04/shopping-immer-rueckwaerts-nimmer Das neue Album der britischen Band Shopping: »The Official Body« Shopping immer, rückwärts nimmer Von Hans-Georg Schaefer Die britische Punkband Shopping experimentiert auf ihrem neuen Album mit Mehrstimmigkeit und Synthesizern und versucht, ihrem ­politischen Selbstverständnis musikalisch Ausdruck zu verleihen. Shopping, das sind Andrew Milk, Billy Easter und Rachel Aggs. Ein Powerpop-Trio, dass sich um das Jahr 2012 herum, ähnlich wie einst Throbbing Gristle, Soft Cell oder Crass im Dunstkreis der Kunsthochschule gründete und zunächst in der Musikszene von Dalston in London reüssierte. Nach dem zweiten Album »Why Choose« und dem Wegzug ihres Schlagzeugers, der nach Glasgow ging, hat das Trio im vergangenen Jahr den dritten Longplayer aufgenommen. Die räumliche Distanz zum Drummer Andrew Milk war für die Band eine fundamentale Veränderung, die sie in einem Interview beschrieben: »Als eine Band, die ihre Musik immer gemeinsam schreibt, ist es essentiell für uns, tatsächlich gemeinsam in einem Raum zu sein, bevor wir überhaupt anfangen, an Liedern zu arbeiten. Es kann ein wenig entmutigend sein, wenn wir alle auftauchen und nur einen gemeinsamen Nachmittag miteinander haben, um uns dann aus dem Nichts einen neuen Song auszudenken.« »The Official Body«, so der Name des neuen Albums, strotzt vielleicht aufgrund dieser veränderten Produktionsbedingungen nicht mehr so vor Hits. Ihr Debüt »Consumer Complaints« konnte mit einer ganzen Vielzahl knackiger Songs die Szene­kenner und Musikenthusiasten durch die Bank verblüffen und überzeugen. Dieser Respekt hat Shopping von einer kleinen Indie-Formation zu einer auf größeren Bühnen in ganz Europa und den USA auftretenden Band gemacht.

  • Interview: Patrick Stickles of Titus Andronicus,Album of the Week
    Interview: Patrick Stickles of Titus Andronicus Patrick Stickles of Titus Andronicus (Photo: Jorge Chantre) Ever since their start in Glen Rock, NJ, in 2005, Titus Andronicus have been lauded for their energetic live performances. Frontman and guitarist Patrick Stickles sings intensely from the heart in unapologetic fashion. It’s musical honesty with a punk rock foundation that’s absolutely incredible. The band has their fifth studio album currently out, A Productive Cough, which was released Mar 2 through Merge Records. Stickles and pianist Alex Molini will be rolling through AS220 on Empire Street in Providence on March 9 to perform stripped down versions of Titus Andronicus’ songs with Rick Maguire from Boston indie rock act Pile kicking things off. I had a talk with Stickles recently about the influence of ‘90s hip hop on his lyrics, heart-on-the-sleeve ballads, hope and optimism for the state of DIY venues and not lamenting about the festival season. Rob Duguay (Motif): Your lyrics have a poetic tone while encompassing a lot of empathetic emotion. Whom do you consider your main influences when it comes to writing lyrics? Do you lean more towards musicians or do you lean more towards poets? Patrick Stickles: Some of the best musicians are also some of the best poets, I gotta say. My lyrical inspirations mostly come from the rap music world. Not even necessarily their subject matter, but their attention to detail and the high standard of excellence that the best ones seem to adhere to. It’s a very lyrically driven form, or it certainly was at one point but less so today.
