Black Pumas - Chronicles of a Diamond - new album from Adrian Quesada's psychedelic soul project with Eric Burton

When Black Pumas made their self-titled debut in 2019, the Austin-bred duo set off a reaction almost as combustible and rapturous as their music itself. Along with earning a career total of seven Grammy Award nominations (including Album Of The Year) and winning praise from leading outlets like Pitchfork and Rolling Stone, singer/songwriter Eric Burton and guitarist/producer Adrian Quesada achieved massive success as a live act, touring large theaters all over Europe and North and South America and delivering a transcendent show Burton aptly refers to as “electric church.” As they set to work on their highly awaited sophomore album, the band broadened their palette to include a dazzling expanse of musical forms: heavenly hybrids of soul and symphonic pop, mind-bending excursions into jazz-funk and psychedelia, starry-eyed love songs that feel dropped down from the cosmos. Wilder and weirder and more extravagantly composed than its predecessor, Chronicles of a Diamond arrives as the fullest expression yet of Black Pumas’ frenetic creativity and limitless vision.

Friko is yet another young indie band out of Chicago. Horsegirl, Lifeguard, Kara Jackson, Sharp Pins. And here comes Friko with their full length debut LP, "Where we've been, Where we go from here".

Austin Town Hall stated that they had a hard time pigeonholing the band. Agreed. Bands from Black Country, New Road to The Lemon Twigs to The Strokes, to some of the above mentioned Chicago bands can all be heard.

This is being released by ATO Records (New York)

[Album + Video] Adrian Quesada kündigt neues Album "Boleros Psicodélicos II" an!

Der GRAMMY-Preisträger und OSCAR-nominierte Adrian Quesada macht dort weiter, wo er 2022 aufgehört hat, und setzt seine Mission fort, die romantischen Klänge der Latin-Musik der 60er- und 70er-Jahre neu zu erfinden. Das Album des texanischen Produzenten, Multiinstrumentalisten und Mitbegründers der Black Pumas, "Boleros Psicodélicos II", erscheint am 27. Juni über ATO Records.

Die Fortsetzung von "Boleros Psicodélicos" aus 2022 ist ein zutiefst persönliches, aber auch gemeinschaftliches Album, das eigene Sounds mit neu interpretierten Versionen klassischer baladas románticas kombiniert. So wie "Boleros Psicodélicos" „eine aufkommende Stimmung in der lateinamerikanischen Musik aufgriff“ (The New York Times), so ehrt "Boleros Psicodélicos II" auch bestimmte Momente, während es einer breiteren Hörerschaft ein lebendiges Subgenre in all seiner Pracht vorstellt.

Produziert von Adrian Quesada und Alex Goose (Aaron Frazer, Childish Gambino), steigert "Boleros Psicodélicos II" die Intensität der Musik, indem es Cembalos, Gitarrenriffs und Bolero-Elemente mit Hip-Hop-Parts und schweren Grooves mischt. Auf den zwölf Tracks des Albums wirken eine Reihe von Latin-Stars mit, darunter unter anderem der Singer-Songwriter Cuco aus Los Angeles, die amerikanische Sängerin Angélica Garcia, der chilenische Singer-Songwriter Gepe, die kubanische Sängerin Daymé Arocena, das kolumbianische Ensemble Monsieur Periné, Ed Maverick aus Mexiko, das schweizerisch-ecuadorianische Duo Hermanos Gutiérrez sowie der puerto-ricanische Sänger iLe, der nach "Mentiras con Cariño" vom ersten "Boleros Psicodélicos" erneut mit Quesada zusammenarbeitet. Eröffnet wird "Boleros Psicodélicos II" mit dem schwermütigen und doch opulenten "Ojos Secos (feat. Cuco)", das bereits jetzt erscheint. “‘Ojos Secos’ is all about heartbreak”, ergänzt Cuco. “I wanted it to feel like an old bolero, something timeless and romantic.”

Tracklist "Boleros Psicodélicos II": 01. Ojos Secos (feat. Cuco) 02. Bravo (feat. iLe) 03. No Juego (feat. Angélica Garcia) 04. Cuatro Vidas (feat. Mireya Ramos) 05. Afuera (feat. Ed Maverick) 06. Primos (feat. Hermanos Gutiérrez) 07. Hoy Que Llueve (feat. Trish Toledo) 08. Agonía (feat. Monsieur Periné) 09. Te Vas y Yo Te Dejo (feat. Gepe) 10. El Diamante 11. Tu Poder (feat. Natalia Clavier) 12. No Temeré (feat. Daymé Arocena)

This One Song… Civic on Chrome Dipped

Tell you what – we love hearing from artists when things go right. We equally love hearing from artists when things go dreadfully wrong. A song that was a piece of piss, written in 20 minutes? Or years in the making and a bastard to write? Whether it’s a song that came together through great duress or one that was smashed out in a short amount of time, we’re getting the lowdown from some of our…

It's time for Beginnings, the podcast where writer and performer Andy Beckerman talks to the comedians, writers, filmmakers and musicians he admires about their earliest creative experiences and the numerous ways in which a creative life can unfold.

On today's episode, I talk to musician Niko Kapetan AKA one-half of the band Friko. Originally from Evanston, IL, Niko had been writing songs since he was a teenager and formed Friko with his bandmate Bailey Minzenberger in 2019. After self-releasing a number of singles and EPs, the band signed with ATO Records, and in mid-February, ATO released their debut album Where We've Been, Where We Go from Here, and it's a delight!

Friko Live Preview: 3/1, Metro, Chicago

Photo by Pooneh Ghana

BY JORDAN MAINZER

Chicago's Hallogallo collective is remarkably sonically diverse: There's the sneaky art rock of Horsegirl, the chaotic noise of Lifeguard, and, playing tomorrow night at Metro, the communal, orchestral indie rock of Friko. The duo of vocalist/guitarist Niko Kapetan and drummer Bailey Minzenberger have more in common with the earnest likes of Los Campesinos! and Black Country, New Road than with Pylon, Gang of Four, This Heat, or other bands generally lumped in as inspiration for the crop of young post-punk bands to come out of the Windy City and London. Friko's fine-tuned debut LP, Where we've been, Where we go from here (ATO), is as reflective and all-encompassing as the title suggests. On the album, they find fulfillment and solidarity through connection in a world that tries to prevent you from flourishing at every turn.

Where we've been is, in and of itself, a mish mosh of genres, sounds and arrangements inspired as much by Chopin as rock and roll. The opening sort-of title track and pseudo band theme song juxtaposes orchestral swells and circular guitars with group vocals, building up to the all-out desperation of punk as they sing innumerably bleak lines like, "Four feet between a wall and a window make your wife a widow" as if they're life-affirming mantras. On the anthemic "Crimson To Chrome", Kapetan sings, "I'm sitting here writing the same sad song / With the cogs on fire / Spinning on and on / Till I'm old and tired / Even then, I'm on fire," the final line recalling in spirit the Bruce Springsteen song of the same name. Friko might be generations apart from The Boss, but both have the ability to make anguish sound massive.

What's most impressive about Friko, though, is that they know when to pull back. "For Ella", "Until I'm With You Again", and closer "Cardinal" are on the softer side, the first two of them piano ballads. "For Ella", in particular--which features Macie Stewart on violin and Alejandro Quiles on cello--has some of Kapetan's strongest songwriting. Wistful and melancholic, it was inspired by a visit to a graveyard in Wisconsin, and you can imagine Kapetan looking at a marked grave and imagining the current lives of loved ones and the past lives of the folks who now lie beneath. "You were running through the backyard / Said the puddles were the ocean / Now the smell of rainy days always remind me of you," he sings. "Statues", meanwhile, is a slice of moody indie rock, alternating between cleanliness and distortion, as Kapetan again imagines a world long after he's gone: "Someday we'll lay statues of our own / For now, we'll bow to memories made of stone." Pretty wise for a band just getting started.

Opening for Friko at Metro are two more bands from Chicago: synth rock dreamers Smut and alternative indie rockers Neptune's Core. Tickets still available at time of publication. Doors at 7:00 PM, show at 8.

Intempéries

A beleza se limita a saliva É um recorde que reluz Em seu passado Feito um escafandrista

Em meu peito se abriga Uma convenção de trezentos cavalos A todo instante, batendo seus cascos Por hábito e simpatia

Você não escuta, você supõe A terra é fachada a sua cavidade Seu corpo escaldante está fechado A cada vã tentativa de viúvas

Minha boca afirma o que é dúvida Meu gesto firma-se ao lado da inquietude Minha cabeça desenha cenários Para que sejamos pervertidos pelo desejo

Tórrido amuleto, seus dedos de prosa distópicos Se entrelaçando na minha garganta A ponte tramada pelo teor alcoólico De suas palavras me embriago

E de tão etéreo, eu digo: Eu já disse tudo o que queria Perceba agora cada ato meu O amor ingênuo e perdido

Cada saudação tem seu subtexto E cada despedida que deixei ancorar Fez da minha própria tez um brilho Para que sempre me encontre pela noite

Eu aperto você antes de ir Pois quero eternizar Cada trejeito teu antes que o Encanto que possuo desapareça
