Leila Arab Mettle

A few weeks ago I saw Bjork at the Hammersmith Apollo, on what appears to the 20th leg of the Volta tour. In valiant support was Leila Arab. Many may know her, most don’t. A quick history she has played and toured with Bjork, released  2 albums one on XL other on Rephlex’ her third is out on Warp soon, four tet mentioned her in a song title on ‘Pause’,

Leila’s set was basically a mutated noised fest, with a dj-ing slant. The noticeable trax played where by Snoop Doggy-Dog, Bowie, Iggy Pop, and her own stuff with a smig Autechre to the assist in the onslaught of bass and loudness. I liked it. I loved her attitude. The way she just moved in behind the machines.In a one woman tango. She was great. The crowd booed. God where they hacked off by her; she flipped them the finger.

Leila Arab Mettle

That was just the best night ever despite the godawful DJ who bored us for an eternity.

quote from bjork website

Now on to her current 10 inch & dig-it-al download, Mettle on Warp. The title track is a mix of primal spiders, oscillating bass, fx-ed guitars, al-la-fugazi-gang of four. by god it is loud. Heaven Sent, the next track sounds of creaking and slo-mo doom bass, and heavenly vocals from Luca Santucci. Finally, Ode to Mr. Herman, is a polite diddy, which could find it’s home on a Colleen record.

Single of the year.

After the news via Pitchfork Media that Stereolab have moved from Too Pure to 4ad. Then they have a new opus called ‘Chemical Chords’ in the can, and are gearing up for a mid august release.

Then comes the news of a new track called Three Women been released via iTunes. The track is a wonderfully poppy avec French vocals, ooodles of glockinspeil, hammond organ, a sprinkling of brass, and semi funky bass.

A wonderful delight.

So we are told by someperson in yesterday’s observer that ‘The YYYs have made a vital album’, so I listen to the new remix of the soon to be hit single ‘Gold Lion’ by Diplo..Guess what ? it is woeful.

I had to listen to his Hollatronix remix for Gwen to make that feeling of disappointment, vanish.
