Salem + Witch House

[AFX]

sì condivido in piene Neve qua sopra

[AFX]

s'era detto che...

nel 1692 la città di Salem, nel New England, fu scenario di tutta una serie di processi per Stregoneria?
Città di Salem menzionata poi nella cronologia di Lovecraft del Necronomicon di Abdul Alhazred...

[Decades]

Beh sì, il riferimento era chiaramente quello. Loro però avevano detto di averlo scelto soprattutto perché gli suonava bene

[Pilgrim]

Già, Salem è sinonimo di strega da sempre. Anche per Stephen King

[Kqueg]

Io ci ho messo due tre ascolti...Ma ora lo lascio girare e trovo più interessante King Night che il buonissimo omonimo dei CC che mi sono piaciuti da subito perchè più immediati.


Gli spunti ci sono...Per me l'importante è quello.

[Sobieskiego 7/6]

a me sono oiaciuti molto i white ring di quelli che avete scritto la recensione, molto + ascoltabili secondo me comunque nella disfida fra witch house e glo fi come migliori nuovi generi, finisco x preferire la witch house d'inverno e il glo fi d'estate

[AFX]

in generale, penso che nella seconda ondata ci saranno i veri capolavori di questa scena...

Hello, how are you?
I am good. It is 4:04 AM I just woke up from sleeping a disgustingly long time. Around 18 hours.

What are you currently listening to?
"Heavy Water/I’d Rather Be Sleeping" by Grouper

Who/what inspired you the most when you began writing for this project?
When I was a kid I had really bad nightmares. Really bizarre, trippy stuff that would freak me the fuck out. I remember these dreams really vividly, too. They weren’t so much about spooky things but were more about bizarre and uncomfortable situations. I also had pretty bad anxiety as a kid, which I feel were a direct result of these nightmares (or maybe the other way around…). Anyway, those dreams I had as a kid are something I try to convey in my music. The more technical answer is that almost all of my songs are based around one sample and a lot of time I try to see how much I can manipulate a sample or how far I can stretch it and mold it into something new.

Is it safe to put you in the Drag/Witch House genre?
Maybe. The triangle in the name doesn’t help. Honestly, I don’t listen to enough Witch House to know whether or not my music falls under that genre. I suppose some of it could be considered Witch House, especially the first two EPs. A lot of my favorite artists are hard to classify with one genre and that is something I am trying to do with my music.

What do you do for a day job?
I am currently unemployed. I did used to teach senior citizens how to use computers, though, which was beyond frustrating. Right now I am in my second year of community college. Next year I will probably be going to Columbia or some sort of liberal arts school in Chicago.

What was your favorite album of 2010?
It’s hard to say since this year was sort of a dud in terms of music. I am terrible at picking favorites but I really enjoyed "Halcyon Digest" by Deerhunter.

Whom you would you like most to collaborate with?
Boards of Canada. It’s the cliché answer for any aspiring electronic musician nowadays, but the fact that they are so allusive and almost mythical is reason enough to want to work with them. It would be amazing to see how they work to create such beautiful music. I would also love to collaborate with a rapper but I don’t listen to any rap music so I don’t know which rapper like to collaborate with. Jay Z maybe? Kanye West? I don’t know.

What’s next for Lake R▲dio?
No idea. I have a few songs I am working on. I might do a remix album where I remix a bunch of my friend’s music as well as some mainstream songs but I haven’t started that yet. Lately I have been spending most of my free-time finishing up an EP with my band Heavy Ghost so I haven’t had a chance to work on any Lake Radio stuff. The next thing I release is probably going to be an EP. I want to start adding more melody and also vocals. The songs I am working on are pretty Shoegazey.

You can only keep/listen to ONE album for the rest of your life
..which album would it be?
"Loveless" by My Bloody Valentine.

Are you living your dreams?
Not yet. Soon.

Thanx Caden!

A proposito di witch house, diciamolo che si comincia a intravedere un'evoluzione di confine ... e che nel prossimo numero forse avremo un personaggio che decades ha scovato in una località molto particolare degli States, forse evocata da un certo scrittore di cui abbiamo parlato recentemente... vabbé vedrete, ma preparatevi perché c'è un bel disco in arrivo!

Preannunzio... a breve compilation witch house
