Comment: I have
a good and a bad new to announce. The good new is today is the
birthday of Kevin Shields, the mastermind behind My Bloody Valentine,
the most creative and inspiring combo having existed after the
break-up of The Smiths. The sad announcement is related to Glenn
Branca who died on the 13th of May (today I just got aware of the
fact). Both these men showcased the noise music can be truly
ennobling and truly artsy and truly fascinating. Thereafter all the
guitar music would turn into history. They did not care of the
opinion of other people they behaved like mad professors by following
their own sonic obsessions and alchemical drives. The same can be
admitted about the Yankee Adam Sigmund who had been excelling at
creating a template of weird pop music. He has issued music under
such labels as KomKol Autoprod, 20kbps, Proc-Records, and
Sirona-Records. The recent, 4-notch issue is out of the discography
of 20kbps and is an uncanny reflection upon mutant slacker pop and
warped Americana and roots music. In some sense
Jamboree Train
can be compared to Beck's
Odelay (1996) though Adam Sigmund
has made even more steps forward. His fun seems to be more buried and
morbid through the effect loaded compositions propelled by stomping
drum programming and artsy guitar handling and evocative tuning. In a
word, the result is truly impressive.
