Dragontears – Turn On Tune In Fuck Off!!

The record do start out with the song "Two Tongue Talk" which could have been a song from the Baby Woodrose catalogue with added psychedelic effects en mass and almost excessive use of theremin. Next track "No Salvation" continues in the rocking way and may probably be the closest Dragontears will ever get to an actual radio friendly hit. The song is so darn funky and swinging it could freak out a dance floor. Besides having hit quality there's also some of the records greatest acidic guitar work and phenomenally cool female background vocals by Emma Acs. After this rocking start it's time for the slow and semi acoustic ballad "Myfriend" - a melancholic tale about friendship and ... well, life in general?! And then … well, let the chemicals kick in. "Time of No Time" is a musical trip of dimensions. It's a matrix of swirling sounds and vocals and the slightly salted tears do incept your cortex. This song is without doubt one that shows off the blueprint of what this collective is all about. "William" is the only really extended track on this record and complete with all the lysergic effects one could want - and expect! The song has a nice slow groove and a steady almost tribal drum beat that gives it the perfect monotonic and hypnotic feel. The strong and well written lyrics are in Danish and tells us a story about the haunted mind of painter William Skotte Olsen. Last track "Mennesketvilling" is another dream catching and surreal song that strongly underlines that this is Dragontears and not just another semi-psychedelic hipster band.

Psych is the new black

There's an article in the Danish newspaper Politiken about the new wave of psyche in Denmark. Yes, well come again - they also wrote about this new wave two years ago in Berlingske Tidende - and there was this story in Mojo mentioning Causa Sui some years ago. Anyhoo, read it - not much new, but that's just journalism - jump the wagon ...

Syre's Syrekanon

I'm listening to C.A. Quintet : Trip Thru Hell and thats some crazed psychedelia from '69. Very, very strange record with hints to both paisley and dark, hauntet lysergia. A very varied record and a true gem. I got it thru Rockadrome mentioned earlier.
I had to do a search at Svingninger to see if Magnus had mentionen the record in "The New Obscure Psych" tread. And then there was Lorenzo Woodrose's list of essential acid rock records to go get. Fantastic list!

Dragontears - New Album ...

The album is musically quite similar to the first - 2000 Micrograms From Home from 2007 - but the band used a larger amount of electronics and the eternal quest for hallucinatory experimentation has made the music span a slightly wider range, transcending musical styles like neofolk, psychedelic, space rock and electronica. Hell, it must be the first album in 20 years to include a bona fide drum solo!
Dragontears has a fluent line-up and this time around it includes:
Lorenzo Woodrose - (Baby Woodrose)
Fuzz Daddy - (Baby Woodrose)
The Moody Guru - (Baby Woodrose)
Manoj Ramdas - (ex-Raveonettes, Spektr)
Janine Neble - (Alive with Worms)
The Hobbit - (On Trial, Spids Nøgenhat)
Aron - (Aron, Spids Nøgenhat, ex-On Trial)
Ralph A. Rjeily
The Twilight Princess
The tracklist includes the ten minute drug fantasy “The River,” which involves an impressive eight verses of illuminated spiritual delerium (and is not a Bruce Springsteen cover). Also, another eight verses of righteous anger and loathing in “Masters of War,” which is in fact a Bob Dylan cover. Other highlights are a 16 minute dark hypnotic journey titled “The Freedom Seed,” which features Danish punk diva Janine Neble from Alive with Worms - and the electronic experimental track “Dreamweaver 2,” which features delicately noisy circuit bends from ex-Raveonettes Manoj Ramdas, absolutely molesting an out of date drum machine and some Japanese toy keyboard.

White Denim get bad reviews - I dig it ...!

Anyway, bare with me 'cause I have severe hangovers after last nights garage/psych blowout at Pusher Street in Christiania. On Trial and Baby Woodrose for sure did what they could to fight the society with music.

The Woodrose familie ...

Baby Woodrose at Myspace
So whats the fuzz about a Woodrose family? Well, opening for Baby W tomorrow is Aron. Aron is the solo work of former On Trial guitarist Morten Aron who also played guitar with Spids Nøgenhat. He has released a couple of solo albums and tomorrow is actually the release gig for his new album "Djævlens Horn". On stage tomorrow Aron will be joined by Nicolai Vilhelm Tell and Hobitten who plays guitar in On Trial and freaked with Lorenzo and Aron in the one-off project Dragontears.
Aron at Myspace
Dragontears was all about making an album in short time and record the stuff right away. Kind of a session like Desert Sessions or Swamp Sessions. Everything was mixed by Lorenzo and soundman Ralpf Rjeily on acid (so they said). The record "2000 Micrograms from Home" gained high critcal acclaims and was named as one of the best albums in 2007 by Walter from Roadburn.

Beside all this Lorenzo also produced and played drums in The Setting Son who released the selftitled album earlier this year. The record is recorded at Black Tornado studio by Ralph and is out on Bad Afro Records as well as Baby W, Dragontears and the live record by On Trial.

A live record with On Trial? Yes, after they almost blew the tent out at last years Gutter Island Festival at Masnedø Fort the recording by Danish National Radio was streamed and thereafter circulated in the trading society. On Trial chose to release the recording earlier this year as a vinyl only limited to 500 copies. Gutter Island is an institution in Danish underground music and also Baby Woodrose has put out a "Live at Gutter Island" vinyl only.

To round everything off, also the psyhfolk'ish Nicolay Vilhelm Tell is out with a record called "Mushroom Town" under the name of Nicolai Vilhelm Tell and The Teacompany. Nicolai previously played with Aron and the record is out on the label Orpheus Records which is run by - well, Morten Aron ...
