sick of all that over-produced, over-hyped et over-thought music out there? well don't fret, i've got the perfect solution for you, here's a deliriously ultra no-fi, stripped back, hip hop-tinged track, Soon The Moon from Athens, Georgia-based experimental/psych hip-pop outfit Pretty Bird off their fantastically experimental album "Rules" (2011).
Soon The Moon is a euphoric, jubilant, rowdy, spontaneous happening, it has the exciting feeling of a work in progress, Pretty Bird's music is an ongoing experiment into stripped back, percussion-driven, distortion-laden, vocally improvised pop music. the raw, free-style delivery is reminiscent of early Beastie Boys which gives the track a sense of nostalgia, it is a call to get back to basics, a 'return to zero'. Soon The Moon delights in old brain, no-fi technology, just a bunch of voices et whatever object nearby that makes a cool percussive sound, this is pure unadulterated noise-making et joyful experimentation, first thought, best thought, no editing, no self-censoring, just let it spill out, just scream et shout, for better or worse. Soon The Moon is the kind of track that comes out of a bunch of like-minded people gathering together et deciding to make some music, spontaneous et unfettered, making music for music's sake, not for fame or fortune, you can't help but wish you were taking part, they're having so much fun it's hard not to get caught up in it. whatever you want to call it, or however you try to describe Pretty Bird's music, you can't deny that it is full of passion et jouissance!
to fully enjoy this track it is recommended that you turn your stereo up to full, strip-off your oppressive clothing et dance around the room stark naked! enjoy!
i have to say i really dig the cover art, the composition et clever use of colour is just right, it totally captures the group's aesthetic et personality perfectly!
