PHILIPP GORBACHEV - Silver Album - Cómeme

Russian-born dance avant-guardiste Philipp Gorbachev is in self-exile - from Moscow to Berlin - due to his political views and his purpose to join Cómeme in 2011. This collective of musicians and artists, operating between Latin America and Europe, is known for a killer instinct in producing forward thinking dance music beyond any standards of contemporary music industry.
Focusing on serving dance music audiences all around the globe, Philipp Gorbachev composes, produces and performs music in a way that resembles the heritage axe of Russian avant-garde and Moscow’s Conceptualist movement rather than following any current dance music tradition.

Based on a unique performing and recording technique - created and tested together with his buddy Matias Aguayo in “The District Union” studio in Berlin - “Silver Album” is a well-collected music piece consisting of nine live performed arrangements, crafted with insurgent Russian lyrics that are fable-like inventions, fairy tales that deal with spiritual vibes, using the sound of the Russian language in order to form a new alternative music.

Musicians like ex-Helmet-and-now-Battles drummer John Stanier, as well as co-producers and mixing engineers like Butthole Surfer’s guitarist Paul Leary; Mexican Cómeme brother Daniel Maloso; or Non Standard Productions head honcho and Ostgut Ton artist Tobias Freund, have been welcomed by Philipp Gorbachev to take part in the production of the record.

The first single of the Silver Album, called „Arrest Me“ is a dedication to the imprisoned people around the world, a journey starter towards freedom of spirit, pioneering in never before expressed sounds, timing and space control.


Tracklist:

01 Arrest Me - Песня Для Арестантов
02 Push The Gaz Pedal - Дави На Газ
03 Distance - Не На Ты
04 Europa (feat. John Stanier) – Европа
05 It Could Be Good - Ох, Бывает
06 Come On Let's Warp - Давай Разберёмся
07 New Sound
08 Silver Symphony - Серебряная Симфония
09 What Do You Need - Что Тебе Надо

Battles | " Gloss Drop" release | live in Milan 15.04.2011

Sono passati quasi quattro anni dal primo album dei Battles,  quattro anni di lunga attesa che ci portano ad assaporare il loro nuovo lavoro Gloss Drop, pubblicato sempre su Warp. L' uscita è prevista intorno al 6 giugno 2011 per il Nord America e pochi giorni dopo all around the world.
Sarà il primo album come trio, dopo la partenza del grande multi strumentista Tyondai Braxton.
I Battles però non hanno perso tempo rimpiazzando la grande perdita con collaborazioni eccellenti: dall’ eroe synthpop Gary Numan al cantante Kazu Makino dei Blonde Redhead, fino all’uomo del momento per Kompakt Records, Matias Aguayo, con cui si presentano al pubblico con il primo singolo “Ice Cream".
Un album tutto da godere in questo clima già estivo, un album da ascoltare a volume massimo con il classico braccio fuori dal finestrino, immaginando di attraversare i grandi Stati americani coast to coast.


Per tutti i fans dei Battles residenti in città e per i clubbers nomadi, la Band si esibirà durante la Design Week di Milano (12/17 Aprile 2011)  all’Headquarter dell’Elita Festival.
