!!! & The Field [Video]

http://pitchfork.tv/node/796

It was buffering like hell for me, but it's a fun watch. I'm a fan boy of The Field, what can I say.

This is lovely.

If this is anything similar to what his three-piece band tour was supposed to sound like, then I'm incredibly pissed; this is fucking great. I had the chance to see them twice on the west coast but they had to pull out due to visa issues. Goddamnit.

That drummer really has some stamina, god damn.

Yeah, I'm barely half-way through and he's still kicking ass. Yebus.

Yeah I read about them having some issues on RA.

I am making it my mission to see Willner within the next year.

Saw him live last year when he was touring by himself, and it was a solid performance. I'll have to upload my videos from the show in the next couple of days.

The way it develops is "sublime" haha. I love how The Field provides the loopy basis and !!! revolve around it playing various riffs and distorted effects, creating an ever-changing minimalistic maelstrom of music, re-creating a kind of 60s-70s crazy psychedelic acid rock session. I love how after the middle of the video !!! come with some really nusty punk-funk-riffs,and also after the ambient break and the crazy exploding drumming that follows it. At times, the looped quitars brng to mind the excellent post-rock duo that is "El Ten Eleven" who actually work in the exact same way, taking loops from analogue instruments, building repeatetive emotional trips which actually end-up quite "maximal" (with many evolving loops playing at the same time). Drum-work is also very intense. This could also be Daft Punk in a psychedelic minimal trip. Oh fuck it, this could be the future of music!

I really liked this. So dreamy, yet so danceable.


Posted by Ek0nomik on May-09-2008 20:05:

Hm, I should make a mix with just The Field tracks.


Posted by Neon Sky on May-09-2008 20:11:

this is awesome.


Posted by TranceArmstrong on May-09-2008 20:18:

cool

I saw !!! live in a big stadium gig a couple of years ago and they were immense. I really like their live sound, which (from what I've heard) is very far from what they sound like on record. As I recall they used two drummers and a third percussionist and just laid down endless funky big beats that just boomed out in the open air. Fantastic.

The video's pretty cool, but it's a bit toothless compared to that gig.

nice video


axel is wearing the same shirt he was wearing when i saw him last summer here in brooklyn..

i wonder if this was earlier that day.


it was a pretty sick show too but on a wednesday night unfortunately.


Posted by SMC on May-09-2008 23:50:

That was very nice.

Not this "dreamy" - but if you like this see Xploding Plastix live

edit; I have no idea if they do liveshows any more though.

wow thanks for posting, I rarely hear something that just captures you but this is it, haven't heard something like it in ages especially the beginning, fantastic.

i personaly think axel willner is one of the best things to happen to electronic music recently.
