do not know if it is true that is said to Magnus Nielsen on the site of his label, Audio Metronomicon - that our program for six months a year working in a cemetery in Oslo six recorded his songs - but if not, the bizarre charm (but by no means decadent) of his artistic creation, Magnus Moriarty , it is clear also from his records. Kodachromerockopera , latest work of violinist and eclectic singer / songwriter Magnus and his companion Ergo, since called us into a world aesthetically and elegantly retro, chronologically between the end of the sixties and seventies of the half, along a thin, glittering and fragile connecting the first English psychedelia to prog mannerisms. Keeping away from it wisely, Magnus Moriarty moves with fun skills along the colorful streets and convoluted, pop, rock and folk, once drawn by Syd Barrett, dall'Incredible Strng Band, the Pentangle, the Soft Machine, mixing a spirit of simplicity and synth violin in a series of squares more or less bewildered and always pleasantly ironic. When Magnus begins to sing in the fascinating piece that opens the album, the delicate and oblique A great waste of time, the impression of being faced with a new production of enough praised Welsh Gorky's Zygotic Mynci (90 bishops at the beginning of an eccentric and pastoral psychedelic folk-revival with ascending Gaelic) is surprisingly strong, impression which is reflected in many subsequent pieces (# 1 No surf, surf No # 2) and in particular voice of Magnus that the sparkling melodic structure of the songs animated by rhythm changes, complex and unexpected instrumental contributions (after hearing work as woodwinds, strings and organ in the move Citadel etc. ), fast riffs à la Belle & Sebastian ( F # and so on D Minor) profumi folk medievali ( She lingers in the grandest of fields , I've been purcelled! ), corali e acidi divertissements ( Knightscryrockettears ), impressionistici rallentamenti ( With regards to her royal lateness ) e vigorose scampanellanti accelerazioni ( Darjeeling firts flush, Ticho? ). Il tutto in nome di una leggerezza di tocco che poco ha a che fare con il vistuosismo psichedelico dei connazionali Motorpsycho e che invece si può trovare in altri gruppi norvegesi di sicuro talento come Je Suis Animal o Professor Pez.
Album senz'altro da ascoltare, e se vi piace cercate gli album precedenti.
