Kassel Jaeger - Zauberberg - VINYL LP

On Pure Music, Strange Ranger's new album out on Fire Talk, the band indulges an obsession with Loveless, but they infiltrate any comparison to shoegaze with overtures to disco, house, and experimental pop. The Talk Talk inspired pean to isolation InchWay OutInch features a moody saxophone, while InchShe's On FireInch is only a rock song until just after the midway point, when the drums throb, the snare skitters then snaps, and suddenly, you're in a sweaty pit of swaying bodies dancing as dual vocals harmonize, InchI would have thought the rhythm of the club might lead me somewhere. Pure Music embodies that manic state through interstitial interludes laced with YouTube samples that connect each track to the next so as to submerge the listener in it's world, one that rewards catharsis. The alienated might gaze through panes of glass eternally, without breaching the gap between the self and the destabilizing chaos of the world beyond. Riding the train across the East River in the early morning, one witnesses thousands of individual stories, each contained within a glowing square of light, and it's a comfort to know that soon, those strangers will emerge from their solitude to rejoin the city. InchMusic makes us transcend the feeling of being alienated from or trapped by the world,Inch the band says.

Vinyl LP pressing. InchAs a child, almost every Sunday, I was wandering in the countryside, and usually, I was finding myself in my favorite spot a swamp. Air was different. Trees were dead, but not really dead. Soil was swaying of clear water, and an everlasting mist was suspended all over the place. No one was there and nothing could happen even if some animal tracks were here to prove me I was wrong. Much later, one of my masters made always this joke about my music. He said I was composing swamps, I guess because of the lack of demonstrative musical shapes and articulations. At the same time, he was acknowledging that I was building a InchclimateInch. It took me then almost 30 years to understand why I was so fond of swamps. It's because a swamp is an intermediary space of the organic becoming and the blurry space suspending the cycle of the utilities, which is the cycle of history.
