Saturday 06.21.08: THESE NEW PURITANS / MEHO PLAZA / YOUNG PUNX (DJ set) @ Echoplex
Posted by samantha - filed in events
Firstly, I bow down to them, their way with rhythm and words, and their superiority to almost every other band ever. They carry a rare approach that it’s not the music itself but EVERYTHING that matters… all or nothing… playing music is no different from Renaissance science or 18th Century architecture… you can choose to draw influence on the whole of history or you choose none. With this attitude it is impossible to make bad music; the worst result could only be incoherence… with too many ideas, too much to experiment with that proper articulation becomes impossible; and even that’s a result superior to any of today’s generically bound fashionistas. TNP are exceptional purely because they cannot and will never belong to any scene, even though their release on the Digital Penetration lumped them in with the ‘new rave’ crowd. They recognize that drawing from the same narrow influences as your contemporaries is tantamount to incest; the gene pool narrows… weakness is exaggerated… the genetic flaws become clear to all… extinction is inevitable… musical Darwinism in perfect order. TNP are one band with ideas above all this. One listen to ‘En Papier’ or ‘C 16’ from their debut EP reveals as much. – Drowned in Sound
