CHEVREUIL / Science
STIFF SLACK/STSL18 CDEP
'06 05.14発売
定価 1365円 (税抜 1300円)

フランスのポストロック/マスロック/アートロックバンド"CHEVREUIL"（シェヴリル）がSTIFF SLACKからリリース！様々なサウンド/形態を模索するシーン内にて2ピースという最小限の編成で無限大の可能性を秘めた、もはやフォーマットやカテゴライズを超越した芸術といっても過言ではありません。1ギター/4アンプ+ドラムで紡ぐそのサウンドは架空のギタープレイヤーをアンプ上に擬人化させ、重ね合わせるループの絡みで構築、しかもノットオーバーダブ、すなわち一発録りで音源/ライブどちらも同時構築します！今作ではキーボードを導入し、ギターとの同時演奏も披露した新機軸もあり。

STIFF SLACKからの5曲入りEPとなります、オリジナル作品ですのでUS/FRAのライセンスリリースはありません。プロデュースはSTEVE ALBINIです！この相性の良さは既作で確証されています、その為彼らはわざわざシカゴまで飛び録音しました。同時期にフランスはRUMINANCE、USはSICKROOMから4THアルバム"CAPOEIRA"のリリースもあります。SCIENCEとCAPOEIRAはコンセプトで繋がっていますので是非両作品チェックしてください。

音源同様にライブでの音構築もどうやらとんでもなく凄いらしく、淡々と演奏しない奇天烈なパフォーマンスを披露するとのこと。ですので来日公演も早く実現したいところです。

When Tony C (Touch guitar) and Julien F (drums) started the band Chevreuil in 1998, nothing could augur the unique musical atmosphere that would come out of their meeting and that would result in a first 7inch split with ULAN BATOR (sport 2000, Ghetto Blaster 2001 CHATEAUVALLON 2003) As well as in a unique way of conceiving the stage system.

In 2003 they record “chateauvallon” with Steve Albini who will carefully take up the sound of the “touch guitar” on 4 amplifiers and this mechanic drums with which they create organic, sophisticated and spatially unprecedented pieces.

The music of Chevreuil mixes sample parts guitar, that spins its web, catches melodies between its strings, briefly changing into sharp “riffs”, while the drums gets alternatively wild and metronomic without losing its strength to gain fluidity.

It’s through the stage (Europe and USA) that the band could turn its music into “art” as well as “rock”, that one beholds, amazed, without really understanding its language. The tours and successive concerts, with oxes, us maple, rumah sakit etc…proved that their language was universal.

The question that arises now is: what does this 4th album “Capoeira” & the EP “Science” brings after so much achievement?

If we live in a 3 dimensions world, Chevreuil creates a 4th one. The synthetizer combines with the guitar to make the music penetrate the body still deeper. A kind of guitar mutation. Each piece leads-through a lot of subtilities-to a more rock “riff”. It’s no longer a guitar or a synthetizer, but both at the same time connected to four amplifiers, becoming a magnetic guitar, a hybrid instrument with one foot in the rock universe, and the other in the atmosphere of electronic music.

The melody goes deeper, and each piece, constantly on the verge of collapsing, has the accuracy of movements of an assembly line. Chevreuil never gives way to “free” outbursts, each note is always skilfully measured. So Steve Albini produces here a rock album & EP that gives drums, touch guitar an unprecedented dimension and sphere of activity, as to open a new field and create a new form of music.

Ep “science” is strongly related to “Capoeira”.
"SCIENCE" & "CAPOËIRA" was recorded without "overdub", in a "live" situation..
