Lia Fail su Rosa Selvaggia

Eccovi la recensione dei Lia Fail apparsa su Rosa Selvaggia.


LIA FAIL
Cynical stones 
CD (Three legged cat) 

Le inquietanti ed anonime figure in pietra sulla cover sono metafora del tipo umano che popola questo triste mondo contemporaneo, un elemento ormai adagiato verso un’esistenza pressoché estraniata rispetto a quanto avviene intorno a lui, forse conseguenza di una sorta di estrema rassegnazione nei confronti di eventi ormai ritenuti irreversibili. Una colonna sonora neo folk per la fase finale del kali-yuga? Potrebbe essere, in effetti l’esordio su full-lenght per la band di Nico Solito non é una sorpresa, costituisce bensì una gradita conferma di quanto di buono i precedenti mini cdr (ricordo con particolare piacere l’ottimo “Leipzig” e “Restless Eyes”) avevano anticipato. Tra l’altro qualche brano già edito in tempi passati (“Battlefield”, “Restless Eyes”, “Lonely Anguish”) viene incluso, reinterpretato e rivisto, in “Cynical Stones”, per un disco ove certamente risalta pienamente l’ottima produzione ad op era di Saverio dei ferraresi Autunna et sa rose e del mitico Santini dei Disciplinatha. Un esordio brillante per i nostri bolognesi insomma, come l’apparizione live di maggio in quel di Retorbido a fianco di Spiritual Front e Sol Invictus aveva fatto del resto presagire.

Ottime prime recensioni per 'Cynical Stones'...



Primi responsi per 'Cynical Stones', nuovo lavoro dei Lia Fail, entità neo-folk italiana appena uscita col marchio TLC. Un sentito ringraziamento ai giornalisti in questione per le loro recensioni lusinghiere. E fa oltremodo piacere che si tratti di due firme rinomate nel panorama musicale nostrano: Aldo Chimenti (Rockerilla) e Stefano Morelli (Rumore).

Harps Of Fuchsia Kalmia & Dora Bleu on Terrascope! (re-post)

In the coming days I'll put some re-post from the old blog with some related news about the artists involved in the TLC label.
Here's a awesome review about out Harps Of Fuchsia Kalmia & Dora Bleu CD, taken from the great Terrascope Online (the webzine born from Ptolemaic Terrascope mag), written by Simon Lewis in May 2011.
Below you find both the text and the link to the original page.

HARPS OF FUCHSIA KALMIA & DORA BLEU - THE ECHO PALACE OF FINITUDE  
(CD www.centreofwood.com)
  
This beguiling and quite wonderful album, is a collaboration between Dorothy Geller (Dora Bleu) Vocals, acoustic Guitar and multi instrumentalist Salvatore Borrelli (Harps of...) who plays Bouzouki, Dulcimer, Tampura and Celtic Harp, as well as a host of other stringed instruments, the resulting mix a free-flowing and mysterious sounding affair, a long slow trip downstream, drifting through unknown forests and alien landscapes.
     Right from the off, “Falling Axa” beckons you in, the beautiful voice swathed in a cloth of swirling, writhing notes, the intertwining sounds creating a new whole that is has a haunting middle section that sounds like rain dripping from trees. On “There is no Ease” time is slowed down, the music breathing quietly, leaving spaces for the words to conjure magic, sounding like a lost child on the edge of panic as the tension slowly climbs. Gentler in texture, “She Comes To Me to Kiss My Lips in the Great War” is soft and filled with longing, sounding not unlike Larkin Grimm if she had been a seventies folk artist only just discovered.
     Using an array of instruments gives the music different nuances and textures as the musicians weave their spells, but the fact there are only acoustic instruments, a voice and minimal percussion, allows a thread to run through the collection, the music almost timeless in its simple elegance, the arrangements always perfectly geared toward the song.
   With a tinge of Nick Drake in its playing, “Back Rooms” is another wistful piece, whilst the excellent “Bonfires and Family Tree” takes all that is good about this album and magnifies it, creating the finest track on the disc, filled with droning strings, delicate notes and sublime vocals.
    Finally, “According to the Press, There are no Women Detainees” ends the album, ten minutes of sadness made sound, the hint of a dark undercurrent permeating the music making for some uneasy listening, especially as the lyric begin to seep into your consciousness.
Highly recommended, this album is a small gem that deserves wider exposure. (Simon Lewis)

[TLC-04] MUSHY / SOMALIA - SPLIT
TAPE limited edition 50 copies

Mushy is a female spirit that creates soundscapes in Rome, and we could label her music as industrial, but not in a common way: the cold electronic patterns are filtered by her musical sensibility, creating a minimal and obscure mood. Somalia is a drone project from Portugal, and their music has the power to make you feel like you’re forever lost in a forest, frighnened because of a voodoo spell on you… Here’s our first tape, that’s a part of a string of weird tapes we’ll be realising in the forthcoming months. So, we think that the old “rusty” tapes are still the roughest way to express and support this music: tapes are wild, noisy, out of time (and often out of tune). But tapes are cool as well…

[TLC-02] IGOR KRUTOGOLOV & THUNDERWHEEL- LUMBERJACK BLUES
CD limited edition 300 copies
LP limited edition 300 copies

Igor KrutogOlov & Thunderwheel are not living our times: maybe he’s lost beneath the waves of the previous century, among dissonant guitar patchworks, ragtime toy-piano from a closet beyond a creepy mansion, harshy melodies sung by his vitriol throat. There’s a concept within these songs, where the nature prevails the gathering of human forces, and if you listen carefully you can figure a sort of impossible jam between Screamin’ Jay Hawkins and Old Time Relijun lost in an african forest, or just a spectral Tom Waits’s secret brother gone definitely mad and under the influence of Wolf Eyes’ noise manipulation… Weird music for weird people.

[TLC-01] LILI REFRAIN - 9
CD limited edition 300 handnumbered copies / cardboard fold out + jewel case

Experimental tracks with a respect for the structure, built on a kaleidoscopic crescendo, a bridge between the hard-psychedelic guitar riffing and delicate and sensitive female pastoral music with a mysterious touch. Imagine Espers jamming with a post-me(n)tal attitude, but with the Southern Lord blackened mood in her mind. ‘9’ is her debut full length CD: all the notes that you hear in the album were created and played by herself. She’s not only a highly trained musician, but a valuable artist as well. Her music will blow up your senses, being both physical and ethereal, expressed by a flowing songwriting. She’s different, open-minded and brave, and her music speaks for herself.
