Tara King & Halasan Bazar
December 24, 2018, 9:05 am
Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , , ,

From the archives. On the track ‘Rot Inside’ Tara King and Halasan Bazar do an almost perfect Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra. From the LP 8. You can enjoy the original LP and also an LP of unreleased tracks.
Back in 2014…

Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, a sleepy mountain village in the Auvergne, and Tara King Th (FR) and Halasan Bazar meet for the first time, a musical blind date arranged by Steve Rosborough, boss of both bands’ Californian label Moon Glyph. Armed with an embryonic songbook of ideas exchanged over the internet, the newly formed sextet set up a makeshift studio in La Gargouille, the deliciously incongruous 70s-styled local discothèque, together with photographer/film-maker, Sébastien Tixier. Living and playing, singing, drinking and dancing together in glorious isolation amidst the snow  and disco balls, the collective rapidly bond, and the stage is set for them to merge their individual brands of psychedelia – Halasan’s introspective and whimsical folk-rock and Tara King’s  cinematic baroque pop – into one organic whole.

They rise to the occasion, swallowing influences, expanding their palettes with open minds, maturing startlingly before our very ears. Guitars shimmer and keyboards swirl and chime to form an atmosphere of giddy intoxication, while bass and drums provide a backbone of powerfully pulsating precision. In the foreground are the stoned, melancholic vocals of Fredrick Rollum Eckoff and the seductive and nuanced tones of Béatrice Morel-Journel. The songs are a delicious variety set to life by the detailed production of Arnaud Boyer. ‘Coeurs Croisés’ and ‘Ventolin’ come from a soundtrack to a halfdreamed Nouvelle Vague tale of espionage, sex and spilled blood. ‘Rot inside’ is aching dark romance. There’s crystalline fragility on ‘Cover’, bluesy swagger on ‘Door wrap’ and plaintive, primal howl on ‘TK16 Part 2’ and ‘Beneath the Golden Tree’. ‘Below your deepest expectations’ ebbs and flows in epic style, close-to-defeat yet defiant, while the tripped-out groove of ‘Try their best’ drones hypnotically before soaring heavenwards.

Sébastien Tixier’s documentary about “8” (Halasan Bazar & Tara King th.), a gorgeously bleached out, scarlet-tinged home movie, forms a perfect compliment to the recordings. The result is a truly adventurous and exhilarating collaboration, a testament to a week of intense creative expansion and singular vision, and the joyous experience of a whole new band, perfectly captured on both tape and celluloid.

Stellar Journey (Onepointwo remix) a remix from the 2017 LP – Stellar Fantasies on Petrol Chip Records – Petrol Chips is an Indie label founded by Ray Borneo who does all the Tara King videos going right back.

Eastern European Folk Ideas
December 15, 2018, 2:32 am
Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , , ,

It probably actually began back in 2003 and the music of Stephen R Smith with Hala Strana on Jewelled Antler Records…but here at The Golden Apples of the Sun we love Heather Trost and Jeremy Barnes of A Hawk and a Hacksaw. They helped us find beautiful music. Recently we discovered Peter Castle’s Best of European Folk blog post.

Hala Strana

A Hawk and a Hacksaw

A Hawk and A Hacksaw is based on the idea of collecting music and inspiration through travel. They are not of a place, but their music evokes places along a route. This is not an urban music. It’s rural; songs of the woods and roads where there are no sidewalks or street lamps to light your way. “A Broken Road lined with Poplar Trees” describes just this- the dirt from the summer sun, a melody from home on my tongue. The song “Babayaga” by Trost, is a tribute to the archetypal crone Babayaga, who sticks out her cane just as a child runs by… And “The Washing Bear” is a classic brass romp, connecting Serbian brass with it’s Southern brothers in Albania and Turkey…

Forest Bathing by A Hawk and a Hacksaw

Peter Castle presents his best of European Folk

Although most of what l actually perform myself is traditional English folk songs I don’t listen to a lot of that on recordings—I prefer it live. But I do listen to a lot of folk music from other parts of the world, particularly from Europe. I find much of it very exciting and it has influenced my playing. So this is a selection of some favourite recordings from Europe — some are tracks I’ve known for decades, others are recent discoveries.

El Rey Theatre – Los Angeles – 2000 

From sleeve notes at dublab:

“Broadcast played live at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles opening for Godspeed You Black Emperor, the band absolutely shattered our minds. The room was filled with the dublab DJs who had recently become devotees of the band; this show sealed the deal and made us fall in love with them forever. That night, the now dearly departed vocalist Trish Keenan kindly allowed us to record their set directly from the soundboard. Though the show was amazing, for some reason we never streamed or archived it, but following her untimely passing, we pulled the CD from our dusty stacks and remastered the recording. We hope you enjoy this great set.”

All Tomorrows Parties – 2001

The 2001 lineup performing at Mat Groening’s legendary All Tomorrow’s Parties festival was curated by Tortoise and saw Broadcast playing amongst bands of the calibre of Boards of Canada, Autechre, Prefuse 73, and The High Llamas etc. Broadcast came back again personally selected by Mat for the 2010 festival held at Butlin’s holiday camp in Minehead, Somerset, UK.

A soundboard-quality recording of the group’s performance was originally aired on BBC Radio One. This 2001 performance featured Broadcast in their first incarnation – as a four piece – showcasing the powerful aesthetic from their The Noise Made By People era. A very important sound recording. The band played on a small stage in the middle of the main hall while the main stage was being set up for the next band.

Check out the mesmerising version of Drums on Fire. This is the only setlist I could find and was on the upload – I need to fill in the blanks.

0:25 Long was the year

Wendy Flower and Broadcast
December 3, 2018, 10:43 am
Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , ,

From Wendy Flower’s 2012 solo LP ‘New’ the track ‘In The Attic’ a darkly layered piece featuring Broadcast’s James Cargill and Trish Keenan recorded in the couple’s Birmingham, England home.
with James on bass and Trish on Vocals and recorder. “It was one of those things where magic just happened. We just started playing the song, which my husband Paul had written, and it came to life. It was so wonderful working with Trish and with James. Later, after we’d gotten back to the U.S., Trish emailed me and said that she hoped, at the very least, we would make that track available as a download. We were thrilled. Trish was a consummate artist.”

 

“The mood of the ‘In The Attic’ song seemed to fit perfectly on the album, just before an old snippet of Wendy and Bonnie, which I’d found on an ancient reel-to-reel tape”.
