The Samurai/"Samurai" EP Review
Indie | Saturday 26th June 2010 | Osh
by Lolita Polaris
The band began life somewhere near
“Hai ragione tu” (“You’re right”) opens the ep doors, getting us stuck in a sensual, mischievous and spicy atmosphere, where voice and sounds touch each other sexually and defiantly and with a lyric as : “you get dressed better than me...I’d like to be the same as you...anyway I wouldn’t fuck you”, which doubtless makes it the most perverse ep song and it’s charming how the voice unexpectedly and with nonchalance, clips sluggish and lacking rhythms with ruddy vocal outpourings.
The second track, “Neptunes” is a mirage of 3 minutes and 57 seconds, a liquefied and blurred hologram which draws with a pristine white, a rejection, a flickering disgust, : “...I’ll lose the contact, I’m cold and 1000 alive tongues draw the passage ....I don’t want to be with myself anymore...” and where a drenching and fidgety bass arpeggio, sounds almost as an hallucination.
The Samurai play pain, love, anger, misunderstanding, joking with viral synth effects, fighting guitars, a mostly angular bassline, and a cheeky, creamy and bittersweet voice which is a frame of an alarmingly different artwork.
The apparently last ep track “If” is an instrumental hypnotic trance which follows after 10 minutes the ghost cover track “Vitamin C” by Can, the well-known experimental 70’s German rock band.
Rarely a cover song gets over the original one, but I have to admit that I got more Vitamin C from Samurai than from Can!
Waiting for the Samurai LP to come soon, strip yourself from every kind of shape and let’s wear on every chunk of your skin and soul the Samurai ep, a kimono stitched with stoned spirals, caged poetries, flower waterfalls and wheezy sweat, hanging downwards between hell and dream.
As well as the lyric of the fifth track “ Triplo Secco” sings, “...like get lost being firm” you will understand how it feels just after looking out for it!
