Thu 9th Thursday 9 February Upset The Rhythm presents JACK ROSE + Chris Corsano + Yellow Swans - Doors 8.00, advance tickets £7 via WeGotTickets or Upset The Rhythm Drink a couple of shots of neat Kentucky whiskey and see if you don't slur 'raag' and 'rock' into the same guttural syllable. While we can't comment knowledgably upon Jack Rose's substance intake during the sessions that comprise 'Raag Manifestos' (Eclipse) - his third LP of acoustic steel-stringed guitar music - he certainly managed to mash those sounds together so solidly that they bond into an entity heavy enough to exert it's own gravitational pull. That he does this with neither an amplified instrument nor any formal training in Indian classical music only heightens his accomplishment. With each successive record, Rose has stepped further from the Mount Rushmore-sized shadows cast by John Fahey, Robbie Basho and Sandy Bull. Without a doubt the most important drummer in the world right now. There's plenty room for utter hyperbole when discussing Chris Corsano conjuring claustrophobic thunder one minute and dynamiting rock moves the next. The kind of linear-ferocity generated on his kit is nothing short of staggering. Check out his incredible work with Vampire Belt, Cold Bleak Heat and Sunburned Hand of the Man, and of course his countless collaborations with Paul Flaherty. Yellow Swans are a San Francisco-based duo that mix ass-shaking, fucked-up disco with Wolf Eyes-styled metal, cheap Casio beats, digital hardcore and the kind of wired hypnotic circuitry deployed by Coil circa Love's Secret Domain. From pummelling air-raid codes through basement-nasty electro noise. RSS |
