SPECIAL: Mulheres na Música (80's)


Seguindo a partir da década de 70, já começamos a ter ainda mais dificuldade em destacar os maiores nomes dentre tantas mais mulheres criativas na vanguarda da música moderna.


Nisso, pensamos até se uma Kate Bush caberia na década passada, ou estaria nos anos 80, quando de fato explodiu. Ou nomes que surgem como Björk Gudmundsdóttir no Sugarcubes,  Neneh Cherry no Rip Rig+Panic ou Aimee Mann no 'Til Tuesday, mas que alcançaram ainda maior destaque em suas carreiras solo nos anos 90.




Também há diversos casos de artistas que lançam discos de estreia ou por projetos/bandas muitos anos depois, mas que já atuavam desde cedo na cena, o que leva a pensar em qual década encaixá-las.

PLAY: Ambrose Akinmusire, Idris Ackamoor, Julian Lage, Laurie Anderson, Nicole Mitchell





2018 em beleza e sutileza:



AMBROSE AKINMUSIRE


"Acclaimed trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire breaks new ground with his 4th Blue Note album "Origami Harvest", a surprisingly fluid study in contrasts that pits contemporary classical wilding against deconstructed Hip Hop, with bursts of left-field jazz, funk, spoken word and soul, with help from the Mivos Quartet and art-rap expatriate Koll AD (Das Racist), along with pianist Sam Harris, drummer Marcus Gilmore and saxophonist Walter Smith III"

Ambrose Akinmusire
Walter Smith III (sax)
Sam Harris (piano)
Marcus Gilmore (bateria)


Ambrose Akinmusire - "Origami Harvest" (2018)








IDRIS ACKAMOOR


“I wanted to use folklore, fantasy and drama as a warning bell. The songs explore global themes that are important to me and to us all: the rise of catastrophic climate change and our lack of concern for our planet, loss of innocence and separation... but positive themes too, the healing power of music, collective action and the simple beauty of nature.”

Idris Ackamoor (vocal, sax)
Sandra Poindexter (vocal, violino)
David Molina (vocal, guitarra)
Skyler Stover (vocal, baixo)
Bradie Speller (vocal, congas)
Johann Polzer (bateria)


Idris Ackamoor And The Pyramids - "An Angel Fell" (2018)








JULIAN LAGE


"Modern Lore" finds Lage playfully flipping the script he followed on his acclaimed 2016 Mack Avenue debut, Arclight. That album - produced, like "Modern Lore", by Lage’s friend and collaborator, the singer-songwriter Jesse Harris - was his first trio set on electric guitar and found Lage inspired by the sounds and the attitude of the freewheeling, pre-bebop jazz era, when, as he puts it, "country music and jazz and swing were in this weird wild-west period." This time he incorporates the sensibility, if not the outright sound, of early rock and roll, a similarly hybrid form driven by rhythm, personality and a passion for the electric guitar"

Julian Lage (guitarra)
Scott Colley (baixo)
Kenny Wollesen (bateria)


Julian Lage - "Modern Lore" (2018)








LAURIE ANDERSON


"I’ve always been fascinated by the complex relationship of words and music whether in song lyrics, supertitles or voice over. In Landfall, instruments initiate language through our new text software, erst. The blend of electronic and acoustic strings is the dominant sound of Landfall. Much of the music in this work is generated from the harmonies and delays of unique software designed for the solo viola and reinterpreted for the quartet. In addition, there were elements of the optigan, a keyboard that uses information stored on optical discs."

Laurie Anderson
David Harrington (violino)
John Sherba (violino)
Hank Dutt (viola)
Sunny Yang (cello)


Laurie Anderson & Kronos Quartet - "Landfall" (2018)








NICOLE MITCHELL


“Imagination, especially black imagination, is a really vital and undervalued resource. It’s very clear that we can’t continue in the same direction that we’ve gone, but we need to return to the source of where imagination and creativity come from, because if we don’t have another vision then we can’t implement it, and we can’t make a different future. What makes us special as human beings is our ability to imagine things that don’t even exist yet.”

Nicole Mitchell (flauta)
Fay Victor (vocal)
Aruan Ortiz (piano)
Tomeka Reid (cello)


Nicole Mitchell - "Maroon Cloud" (2018)

PLAY: Mount Eerie, The National, Perfume Genius, The War On Drugs, The xx





Vamos a um apanhado de bandas deste século e que com certeza estarão em diversas listas de melhores do ano de 2017:



MOUNT EERIE



Já tratamos por aqui sobre a morte em forma de arte. Os últimos anos nos presentearam com belas obras, infelizmente baseadas em tragédias pessoais: Leonard Cohen e David Bowie trataram das próprias (e então futuras) mortes; Nick Cave tratou em seu último disco da terrível morte de seu filho no ano anterior; o elogiadíssimo álbum de Sufjan Stevens "Carrie & Lowell" (2015) acerca da morte de sua mãe, etc.

E em mais um ano, o tema se destaca com o líder do Mount Eerie, Phil Elverum, tendo perdido sua esposa e companheira de grupo, a artista Geneviève Castrée, vítima de câncer:



Mount Eerie - "A Crow Looked At Me" (2017)














NATIONAL



Tido como um dos melhores e mais importantes grupos do século, lançam o que pode ser seu melhor disco até aqui, e certamente um dos destaques de 2017:



The National - "Sleep Well Beast" (2017)














PERFUME GENIUS



Outro instigante grupo, aqui se tratando na verdade de um projeto do americano Mike Hadreas, chegando a seu quarto ótimo disco:



Perfume Genius - "No Shape" (2017)














WAR ON DRUGS



Também em seu quarto álbum, e também vindo de um destaque absurdo com sua obra de 2014, "Lost In The Dream", outra banda que se mantém em alta:



The War On Drugs - "A Deeper Understanding" (2017)














XX



Por fim, em seu terceiro disco, um grupo que transita pelo genérico indie até o eletrônico de maneira bastante única, bela e empolgante. Não à toa tiveram seus dois primeiros àlbuns muito elogiados, e com este não foi diferente. A obra conta até mesmo com participação de Laurie Anderson na parte instrumental:



The Xx - "I See You" (2017)
