Birdy Nam Nam
|
|
|
Alternately gloomy or funky, shot through with electronic acids and
methodical cuts, the Birdy Nam Nam sound doesn't give a damn about plucking a guitar or belting a cord on a Rhodes. It's able to decapitate the trumpets and slash the pianos, and its records contain the entire history of music. Pushing back the limits of that raw material, these merciless crate-diggers deliver temperate music, a jewel of vinyl composition that owes as much to DJ Shadow as to Sun Ra, as much to the electronic experts of the 1990's as to the 1980's rap producers. Those four no longer play records, they play music. Revelation of the 2004 Winter Music Conference and DMC champions, those 4 turntable wizards have been touring worldwide, including Europe, Asia and America. |
