The Ganjas are one of the best exponents of Chilean Space Rock and a fundamental-must-listen to understand the new Chilean psychedelic scene of the last decade. They began 25 years ago with long jam -kind -of-playing, with steady drum beats and simple basslines, but adding innovative and colorful lyrics and synths, without never losing the song structure. On the other side of the Andes, the eclectic by nature Nairobi laid the groundwork for a new style in Dub.

Recorded and mixed by Jason Simon at Tekeli-li Sound. Mastered by Howie Weinberg \"World Destroyers’ Pleasure Club is a musickal order formed during the great plague of the 20’s in Los Angeles in thanks to a constellation of fortuitous alignments. In the midst of the isolation that connected all people across the globe, in that unsettling quiet, a vision was obtained of community, ecstasy and revelry. The vision took on a life of its own as the band found each other and continues to propel the unit forward in their journey toward its realization. When asked to describe their strange, mutant music some fans and even members have found it difficult to do so. For this reason they have chosen the term Polywave as their designated genre which they envision as including other forms of expression besides music, a tendency to be hyper-eclectic and bearing the distinguishing mark of a commitment to continual, intentional self-transformation. WDPC has performed at venues such as Permanent Records Roadhouse, Zebulon, Lodge Room and more, both headlining and supporting artists such as The Intelligence, The Black Lips and The Nude Party. Nicknamed The Mysterious Party Band, they’ve been told they sound like a “Gospel Devo” by DJ Al Lover (Fuzz Club Records), and drawn comparisons to Talking Heads, The Fall, Butthole Surfers and Peter Gabriel. As influences they cite artists as varied as Hailu Mergia, Psychic TV, Scott Walker, Fela Kuti and Red Crayola but these influences don’t necessarily reveal themselves sonically as much as resembling the spirit in which they were conceived. Artist Neight Trion, the principal songwriter, spends as much time on the lyrics as composing the music, aiming for both to be strong enough to stand on their own.

Old teammates Chris Millstein and Jimy Seitang (Psychic Ills) join the ride, delivering a poignant, earnest haven of yearning songs. ‘Vincent’s Playlist’ began when Davis had the idea to make a record for some songs that had been hovering around, with the intention of honing a more personal sound which, in the end, translated into straightforward pop tunes with a rough edge. After a couple of sessions throughout the spring of 2019, Millstein and Seitang came along for the rhythm section and quickly went on to record at Second Base studio, with RJ Gordon engineering and mixing the album.

Stgo - Chile. August 26, 1970”, noted there on that day by Juan Pablo Orrego's father. In some sense it is a spontaneous birth certificate, not the starting point (Los Blops were already formed in 1964 in Santiago de Chile), but still somehow the beginning of the major chapters in their history. That LP, called\u003ci\u003e Blops\u003c\/i\u003e, is the first of the three that they recorded between 1970 and 1973 and made the band a primary reference for rock and popular song in Chile. Then it was Eduardo Gatti on voice and guitar, Julio Villalobos (uncle from DJ Ricardo Villalobos) on voice and guitar, Juan Pablo Orrego on voice and bass, Juan Contreras on transverse flute and keyboards, and Sergio Bezard on drums and percussion. The evidence of the qualitative leap they took from playing covers to creating their own music is in that first vinyl which appeared in 1970, a year marked by social, cultural and political transformations in Chile. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased under Dicap label, a historic record label founded in 1968 by the Communist Youth Organization, the album was self-produced. As Eduardo Gatti points out: “We were the only producers. That's how that bouquet of rather strange flowers came out. In Blops there’s also a synthesis of the musical influences of the time, including rock of course. Eduardo Gatti goes back to that point: “We had already researched the playing of (Bob) Dylan, Keith Richards, Clapton, so making an interesting weave with guitars was quite fascinating. And there came a time when we didn't play any more covers because it didn't make sense: it was time for our stuff. As we all mature, all this information that we had processed decanted in Los Blops ”. And Orrego agrees: “We had all those aspects, but a very own musical language began”. For the year following this album, the Blops were all living together in a house baptized as Manchufela in Ñuñoa borough in Santiago. There they deepened even more the intense vital and musical construction of the group, which also coincided with the bustling years of the UP (Unidad Popular, the left-wing political alliance led by President Salvador Allende from 1970 to 1973*): all experiences cut short by the Pinochet military coup in 1973 and by the terror that followed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGatti looks back at those previous years: “I think we were very happy. I think the fact of living in a community gave us such a different vision, like we put together a mini-society within this society that was dismantling itself, in which we continued with tremendous energy, very luminous in our case. And that made us somehow able to survive everything that came after. \" And they are elements that add to the group's ultimate identity and the significance of its music, as Eduardo Gatti concludes: “It never ceases to amaze me. We were not in the Nueva Canción Chilena, in the political song. We, along with Los Jaivas and Congreso, were unclassifiable. And we were unclassifiable the entire time we recorded and played. I think that also gave a freshness to all this that people have appreciated more and more over time.

This Saturday we want to bring you a Chilean band that is born from transversal rock and its variants. We talk about The Cruel Visions. The Cruel Visions is the name that Pablo Giadach (founder) proposes to imagine a luminous and nostalgic interior landscape, expressed in songs of subtle composition and evocative beauty. The guitarist and musician in the bands Casino, Trancemission and The Ganjas, brings with him an album weathered by the passage of time in nightly improvisations and his recording studio, influenced mainly by the sounds of the early 80's, new wave, paisley underground, post punk and dark wave. The Cruel Visions was born from the idea of 5 grouping together different recordings that Pablo made in parallel to his work with The Ganjas between 2015 and 2017 at different times and formats. Most of the album is a collection of demos and improvisations with a Rickenbacker 12-string guitar, an echo chamber and a drum machine, which were then worked on for almost 3 years in the free time at Estudio Lautaro, where he also performs. as an engineer and producer. His authorial present discovers the ethereal and light sounds that bands like The Cure or The Jesus and Mary Chain decanted, who left the initial rawness to give way to a more atmospheric and personal repertoire, which, although luminous, maintains traces of the darkest noise of the post-punk era. This time the path taken in other formations where Pablo provides precise sounds, completed with effects such as reverb and distortion, gives shape to a more personal list of songs that sails with the wind in its favor through foggy waters, already known to listeners of English 80's alternative music. Vocals and some arrangements were done at Woodbine St Recording by John A. Rivers, who has produced records by Love and Rockets, The Specials, Nikki Sudden, Close Lobsters and Dead Can Dance, among many others.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BYM Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50875264598347,"sku":"2228010","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/The_Cruel_Visions__The_Cruel_Visions_ef7e7433_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1732254480"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_358319cf_thumbnail_4096_b11bd5c6-6c6c-48e0-8c4a-a966639b7ea3.jpg?v=1726577586","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/bym-records.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
