AMPLIFEST 2012: Six Organs of Admittance
Six Organs of Admittance é o projecto mais fértil com o cunho do compositor norte-americano, e, por isso, o mais versátil. Sob a sua égide está do psicadélico mais alucinado ao folk mais directo e, no mês de Agosto, pode-se contar com um regresso ao rock duro com Ascent, o novo álbum. Prestes a ser editado pelo selo da Drag City, o sucessor de Asleep on the Floodplain promete ser uma força demovedora, capaz de quebrar as montanhas mais duras e a concentração do filósofo mais disciplinado.
É, de resto, com esse novo registo e sob o formato trio que Six Organs of Admittance se vai apresentar no Hard Club do Porto a propósito da segunda edição do Amplifest. Dispensam-se sapatos com sola aderente – a ideia é que todos possamos voar com Chasny.
O projecto também tocará em Lisboa a 26 de Outubro.
Ben Chasny is definitely one of the most prolific musicians of our times: besides releasing records with Comets on Fire and starting new collaborative projects every now and then, he has a steady solo career under the moniker of Six Organs of Admittance, a large umbrella for his endeavers and experiments on composition and guitar playing. Six Organs of Admittance is due to play at Amplifest’s Hard Club sessions as a trio.
Releasing under Six Organs’ moniker since 1998, Chasny hasn’t stopped putting out new music every year, raising his bar with every record and every song. Each time, a new record is better than the other or just points to a complete different direction. Right now, Ben Chasny is preparing a new record, which he’ll bring to Porto. Ascent is expected to be a new powerful rock effort that will most likely lift your feet off the ground.
Six Organs of Admittance is whatever Ben Chasny wants it to be. It could be a psychadelia nightmare, a hard rock trip, or a folk outfit. However, bad is something Chasny doesn’t do, so the best way to describe his music is just saying it is seriously awesome. And that’s the least to expect for Amplifest.
