Non Plus Temps—Desire Choir (Post-Present Medium)

Desire Choir by Non Plus Temps

There’s never enough time, so let’s start at the end with the thunderous skank of “Book (Dub),” a cut that low-rides into view on a bass line so thick that it buzzes through your bones, and not just the ones in your ear canal. Non Plus Temps takes its cue from the early 1980s alchemy of one Adrian Sherwood, the knob-twisting, reverb-sculpting wizard of On-U Sound. It’s most obvious on this largely instrumental cut, but once you’ve heard it, the thread runs all through Desire Choir, under breezy girl-pop ditties and nattering, percussive anxiety attacks. It’s all about that bass.

Non Plus Temps, out of Oakland, is a politically engaged duo, concerned with consumerism and labor exploitation, but in a crazily danceable way. The two core members include Sam Lefebvre, whom you might know as a writer for Pitchfork and the Guardian, and Andy Jordan, who has done time in a slew of Bay Area bands, including Andy Human and the Reptoids, Naked Roommate and the Cuts. 

This project doesn’t sound anything like the Cuts, whose fizzy garage pop licks made the early Aughts hum. It’s a little more in line with Naked Roommate’s robotic grooves, but hunched lower to the ground, growling, where Naked Roommate floated. But really, it’s its own undeniable thing, a post-punk jungle mash of hard rhythms and muttered diatribes, with more Clinic-y bounce and groove to it than you could expect or deserve. 

Take “Endless Jetty Nights” with its bounding one-two rhythm, its tick-tocking woodblock beat, its buzzy, trebly chorus, its rapid thump of low-end, like your heartbeat when you’ve just run for your life. It’s a gas, this song, a total pleasure, but just antic enough to keep you on your toes. “Warm Launderette” (surely a reference to Normal’s “Warm Leatherette”?) is slinkier and more decadent, with bursts of loose-skinned tom rolls and blares of distended saxophone. Jordan speak-sings in a nervy cadence, spitting out non sequiturs like “the bicycle fulcrum in my bony palm.” What does it mean? Who knows. But it scrambles and clatters in the most engaging way, just this side of utter chaos. 

The dub vibration lurks just beneath the surface, always, and rises occasionally right up to the top. “Five Birds Named California” lurches in heavy boots, a Frankenstein’s monster of a nodding groove. “Laika the Mongrel” dreams in deep space, paws scrabbling in doggy R.E.M. sleep. “Facts Sound Like Myths” has the bouncing, whistling, hard-edged sensuality of an ESG cut, while “Reversible Mesh” surrounds post-punk in a thick shroud of echo. 

It's all quite good in an end-of-the-world-dance-floor sort of way, where hedonism meets uncompromising principles, and the clangor of punk sinks into a soft undulating foundation of reggae bass. “It’s electro for the rioters,” as Jordan observes in “Continuous Hinge,” and it thumps, bumps, gallops and hits home. Sherwood would be proud.

In Market Square Records I trust.  I’m willing to place my hand on a Bible to affirm this opening statement. 

Jackson Politick is from Oakland, CA.  However, in my mind, they sound like they are from Australia.  Perhaps this is due to the fact that Mikey Young, et al, have an American home base in Oakland.  I mean, the 2nd song is titled “Well-Adjusted Australians”.

Jackson Politick is Andy Jordan - he also is in Andy Human and the Reptoids. The first song sounds like it was influenced by Total Control.

Neil Morris, speaking to Alan Lomax in 1959:

“Well, when I was just a small boy, Old Uncle Milt Oldfield…Billy Oldfield, the Congressman from Arkansas for so long, it is his father. He and my father are awfully close friends. And they were discussing music. They were music teachers both of them.

“And uh, and they said, dad did and Uncle Milt sanctioned what he said, that MUSIC HAD NO END. That you could learn all the other guy [or girl] learned, and after you got that done they would then, something else would crop up. That uh, that you, that was the reason why that uh, music advanced. That’s why that you would get a better music in one generation maybe that is, uh, IT WOULD FIT THE TIMES IN WHICH THEY LIVED.”

[Lomax: “What about music on the grapevine?”]

“Welllll, they said that MUSIC GREW LIKE THE GRAPEVINE THAT IS NEVER PRUNED. That each year it’d…it’d put on a little bit more. That was what they said, now, about it. Any further questions?”’

[clangoring]

The Vernal Equinox may be taradiddle but the new episode of the Smashin' Transistors fake radio show has things from Writhing Squares, Red Mass, Celebrity Handshake, Low Life, Primitiv Parts, Andy Human & the Reptoids, The Cowboys and a whole lot more!

[dealgemeneverwarring]

The very first episode of De Algemene Verwarring was broadcast yesterday June 3 and you can listen to it by clicking on the Mixcloud link above. It features lots of new music, some old music, some punk, some postpunk, some singer songwriting, a guilty pleasure, and a slab of noise. Pictured below is the UK based short-lived postpunk band Rema-Rema. I played a track from the recent 4AD compilation “Fond Reflections”, and I advise you all to pick that one up. And beneath the photo you can find the playlist for the show. Enjoy!

So So Punk

23 contemporary unleaded punk rock tunes that are so, so good they will put a tiger in your musical tank.

I like toilet love, you like toilet love We both like toilet love, yeah, yeah – Wayne/Jayne County, “Toilet Love”

An eclectic selection of 23 contemporary unleaded punk rock tunes that are so, so good you’ll want to fill ’er up even if you don’t own a car. Featuring the internally combustible talents of Amyl and the Sniffers, Tommy and the Commies, Erik Nervous & The Beta Blockers, Andy Human & The Reptoids, School Damage, Lithics, the Coathangers, Bad Hombres, Priors, Abjects, and 13 more high-octane fossil-fueled punk rock acts that will definitely put a tiger in your musical tank.

Apologies to CBGB, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the corporation formerly known as Standard Oil of New Jersey. Special thanks to Singaporean garage punks Urgent Matter, whose song “So Punk” leads off the mix, helped inspire its title, and provides the soundtrack for our promo video.
