The National Fanfare of Kadebostany
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009I can’t recommend this guys music enough, and if you ever get a chance to see his live set do not sleep on that !
If your feeling that be sure to check out his releases on Freude am Tanzen and the 10″ series on Fenou. Theres a new one out on November 9th, entitled the ‘Vodka Wedding EP’
I’ve also just learned that he has recently joined with 6 other musicians to start a new band known as ‘The National Fanfare of Kadebostany’.
Taken from the myspace;
After this vodka-influenced conversation, Mat Schulz, the curator of the Krakow Unsound Festival, sent Kadebostan directly to Eastern Europe to the little-known capital of Minsk, to meet a band that would become the musicians for his new Fanfare…
Rational Diet!
6 bloody musicians coming from different parts of Europe: Romania, Kazakstan, Russia, Poland… playing violin, cello, piano, accordion, horns, guitar, banjo…..A couple of weeks of seamless recording/rehearsal and multicultural bonding sessions between Minsk’s “Vodka delight” and Geneva’s “Red wine paradise” have given birth to a unique organic/electronic middle eastern band.
Under the spell of their common love for discovering new ways of expression, Kadebostan and his new-found orchestra have composed a new blueprint for non-electronic techno, hard-hitting yet welcoming like a village feast, cutting-edge yet simple like a long-anticipated hug. Violin, cello, piano, accordion, saxophone, bassoon, guitar, banjo, boom boom boom, it’s definitely a party in the county of Kadebostany, a hypnotizing experience whose epiphany might well be a return to the traditional party spirit.The warmth, power and high energy of this organized chaos translates best on stage where the 7 piece band celebrates life with smiles & sweat inducing performances. Their aim on stage:
Make the people sweat as if a massive traditional Kadebostany village feast. Hypnotize them and turn everybody into a state where they will all buy a one-way train ticket to Kadebostany… Witness the live premiere at the Unsound Festival in Krakow, Poland, 22.10.2009.PS- The band doesn’t necessarily need electricity to play…so don’t be surprised if you bump into them playing in the streets. The compact version of the band is Kadebostan and 2 musicians, and that rocks. The full experience is, well, the full band, and that’s 7 people on the road…it rocks even more!
You can catch them playing the following dates;
17.10.09 THE NATIONAL FANFARE OF KADEBOSTANY LIVE! @TBA/MINSK
22.10.09 THE NATIONAL FANFARE OF KADEBOSTANY LIVE! @UNSOUND FESTIVAL/KRAKOW
23.10.09 THE NATIONAL FANFARE OF KADEBOSTANY LIVE! @SOMEWHERE IN BERLIN TBA
18.12.09 THE NATIONAL FANFARE OF KADEBOSTANY LIVE! @ LE ZOO “L’USINE”/GENEVA

King Midas Sound LP
Monday, October 5th, 2009Taken from Cargo Records website…
Waiting For You
After two singles on Hyperdub, and a release on Soul Jazz, King Midas Sound’s ‘Waiting For You’ is the debut album from Roger Robinson and Kevin Martin’s new group.
In previous collaborations, Roger performed as a highly respected poet, but when he opened his mouth to sing in a fragile falsetto, everything changed and King Midas Sound was born. The signature intensity of their previous solo projects remains, but the mood and feeling is radically different. As opposed to Roger’s spoken word pronouncements and The Bug’s fierce battleground dancehall, King Midas Sound is more like an opiated aftermath.
‘Waiting For You’ is all about intimacy. Roger’s falsetto is fragile and vulnerable, a sound somewhere between Gregory Issacs and Vincent Gallo, nestled inside an intimate blanket of bass and vertiginous atmosphere. On three of the album cuts, the duo becomes a trio, as the bittersweet backing vocals of Hitomi (from Dokkebi Q) add a further disorientating swirl around the mix like memories gatecrashing the present.
Two years after Hyperdub released Burial’s ‘Untrue’ it is still rare to find albums packed with such intense and honestly exposed feelings. King Midas Sound often deals with a similar strain of musical melancholia, but instead of hyperemotional haunted garage, ‘Waiting…’ is absolutely song based, and generates the spectral bliss of a jilted lovers rock, a sublime, heartbreak reggae. We learn quite quickly that the opening fresh breeze of sound system nursery rhyme ‘Cool Out’ was actually the back draft of an emotional apocalypse. As we move from the yearning title track, to the ital ecology of ‘Earth a Kill Ya’, to the elevation of the lunar ‘Outer Space’ and ‘Miles and Miles,’ the emotional geography opens out into full, dread soul glory, a wasteland populated by songs of psychic meltdown, the sweet toxicity of love, echoed lullabies to the departed and an acidic undertone of resentment – (“I wish you luck with a capital F, boy”).
