BRONZE

“The West Coast’s weirdest hidden-treasure trio, Bronze, has plied their molten composite of serpentine metro-gnomic drumming, oscillator raga, hash-oil free verse, and pendulum bass patterns for seven shaded years, but sonic documentation remains sparse. The new decade, thankfully, has seen them reversing this deficit, first with 2011’s Copper LP, and now with World Arena, which unfolds another octagon’s worth of their signature spellbound, smoke-ringed, psych-fusion explorations.
Tracked at their Trojan Cavern studio / bunker in San Francisco and mastered in Amsterdam by Ruud Lekx, the record freewheels from tranced, polyrhythmic sequencer meditations (“Played,” “Quality”) to burnt chrome post-punk electronic experiments (“Almost”) to jazzy, decadent mystery rituals (“Dulcinea,” “Golden Handcuffs”). The way they weld home-wired circuitry modulation with lofty poetics and intuitive, live-band dynamics feels finessed and fully-formed—and unusually liberated in today’s world-gone-solo landscape. Live, they’re even more baffling, seesawing from fluid, fog-machine narratives to mesmerizing electro-modal jams, owning all zones. Future intercontinental tours should further bolster their standing in metallic arts communities. The Bronze Age is dawning.” World arena Lp review (not not fun)

“Bronze is an exercise in impulse. Bronze is also the San Francisco based trioof Brian Hock, Rob Spector, and Miles Friction the latest addition to the RVNG Intl. family with their debut album, “Copper”. In early 2006, Hock moved back to his native San Francisco from Berlin and took up residence with Spector in the warehouse / show space known as the Cave. The two conspired to start a new live project and enlisted the help of Friction to for Bronze. After preliminary attempts to find the right environment to house the Copper Club, the Secret Society of the Bronze Age, Miles founded the Trojan Cavern in San Fran’s Dogpatch neighborhood. From this outpost, Bronze undergo disciplined training exercises in various weaponry, sonic hypnosis, horticulture and all-important copper talk. It’s also from the Trojan compound that “Copper” was created. Stream-of-consciousness lyrical cooing and restrained analogue trickery rest atop constant cog rotation grooves on “Copper”. These elements yield a truly conductive album, abundant in compositions that beg for a listener’s oxidising ear. Commencing with “A Showroom Of Sorts”, the record assumes a vague narrative aided by the allure of Tuxedomoon / Ralph Records-y exoticism, albeit less claustrophobic. “Showing Them” staggers into even Wierd-er territory, with eye flashes and spots of Legendary Pink Dots. “So Slow” and “The Rouge Became” are sister tracks fallen not far from the same Silver Apple(s) tree. “Wits” and “Fumes In Suits” counter clockwise like a high pressure Units track and place “Copper” in the lexicon of San Francisco synthesized and syncopated anti-stardom.” Copper review (rvng intl)

COÀGUL

“Industrial folk invocations, electronic drones, hipnotic and perturbating minimalism … are just a few words to describe the atmosphere COÀGUL creates.”

” Coàgul es el proyecto en solitario …del artista Marc O’Callaghan creado el año 2009. Sirviéndose únicamente de sintetizadores, voz y campanas, crea invocaciones industriales de procesiones-drone épicas, hímnicas y minimalistas, a veces tocadas al ritmo de un navío de esclavos romano. A la vez su música parece medieval, incluso rural, con cánticos y proclamaciones de letras de poemas esotéricos oscuros en catalán.

Con una estética a caballo entre el black metal y David Tibet, su temàtica está plagada de simbología Mediterránea ancestral, referencies al Tarot, surrealismo y viejos secretos. En los últimos años ha participado en numerosos conciertos y festivales dentro y fuera de Cataluña, entre ellos el MEM (Bilbao, 2010), ((Gargall)), (Manresa, 2010), 7ª Mostra Sonora i Visual (Barcelona, 2010) y el Festival Konvent.0 (Bergueudà, 2010). El dia 13 de junio tocará en el Festival Sónar 2013 .” Reseña de Magia Roja
