Lydia Lunch and Cypress Grove previously unsettled the conventionally calm and respectful world of the cover song.
Lydia Lunch and Cypress Grove previously unsettled the conventionally calm and respectful world of the cover song with a number of fractured productions. As you might expect the choice of songs on this collection is a disconcerting array of material ranging from the hugely popular to the wildly obscure; from Jon Bon Jovi to Nashville troubadour Aaron Lee Tasjan, Doors and many others.
Lydia Lunch is both a prodigious collaborator (Nick Cave, Sonic Youth, Rowland S. Howard et al) and a remarkable interpreter of other people’s work. It may therefore come as a surprise to learn that “Under The Covers” is her first album to consist entirely of songs by other artists.
This album also marks her third collaborative effort with British guitarist Cypress Grove, building on the success of their previous albums, “A Fistful Of Desert Blues” and “Twin Horses”. Grove is also something of a serial collaborator, having worked with Nick Cave, Mark Lanegan and Jeffrey Lee Pierce, to name but a few.
Lunch and Grove have previously unsettled the conventionally calm and respectful world of the cover song with a number of fractured productions. These include a controversial take on The Eagles frequently reviled ’70s anthem “Hotel California”. Their version of the song so dramatically realigned the central narrative of the song that many listeners were forced to rethink their hostility towards the original composition. Lydia Lunch is a self-confessed contrarian who delights in reinterpreting the songs people (including herself) love to hate.
As you might expect, the choice of songs on this collection is a disconcerting array of material ranging from the hugely popular to the wildly obscure; from the bombast of hair rocker Jon Bon Jovi to the introspection of emerging Nashville troubadour Aaron Lee Tasjan. The roster also includes a harrowing reworking of Bobbie Gentry’s Southern Gothic classic “Ode To Billie Joe” – a thematically obscure tale of love, death, abortion and suicide.
In a typically oblique move, Lunch also decided to cover one of her own compositions. “Won’t Leave You Alone” is a song she co-wrote with James Johnston (Gallon Drunk/ PJ Harvey/ Bad Seeds). Here we see the song mutate from blues rock prophecy to haunting folk lament.
Whether it be original songs penned together or the masterful interpretation of classic material on “Under the Covers”, Lydia Lunch and Cypress Grove continue to delight with the warped beauty of their unconventional coupling.

First video from 3DFLY, a new project featuring Dirk Da Davo (The Neon Judgement/Neon Electronics)
Who thought that Dirk Da Davo, after pausing The Neon Judgement, would lean back and rest on his laurels is wrong!
Besides regular releases of his solo project Neon Electrics the TNJ man is also working on a brandnew co-operation in his studio. From this we can expect a full album in September of this year.
The name of this new project with singer/producer Make Makena, who worked with The The, Screaming Trees, Bootsy Collins and many more, is already known: '3DFLY'.
The album will be released on the man's own label Dancedelic D.
Here you can watch the video of their first ever single!
Wie dacht dat Dirk Da Davo, na het op rust zetten van The Neon Judgement, op zijn lauweren was gaan rusten, heeft het mis!
Naast regelmatige releases met zijn soloproject Neon Electronics is de TNJ man in zijn studio ook bezig aan een gloednieuwe samenwerking. Daarvan mogen we een full album verwachten tegen september dit jaar.
De naam van dit nieuwe project met zanger/producer Make Makena, die gewerkt heeft met The The , Screaming Trees, Bootsy Collins en nog vele anderen, is al bekend: ‘3DFLY’.
Het album zal verschijnen op 's mans eigen label Dancedelic D.
Hier kan je de video bekijken van hun aller eerste single!
Ever since his first big hit with Tubeway Army ‘Are ‘Friends’ Electric?’ in the 70s, synthpop-pioneer Gary Numan never fully disappeard. Solo he scored a big hit with ‘Cars’ and in 2013 he released his last album ‘Splinter’ (Songs From A Broken Mind).
This year sees Gary Numan back on intensive tour with his new and shortly to be released album Savage.
His new songs bring scraping sounds and synthesiser play, often leading to dramatic sounding violin parts, heavy guitar work and a fat bass. Throw in Numan's strong vocals and you get a spectacular live show with a frontman that pounds, glides, dances and floats accross the stage as if he is playing an immense stadium.
Feeling like a small new-wave revival? Then Numan is the artist that will provide you with dark, compelling, swift and above all nostalgic music. Come and see!
19 Oktober Gary Numan @ Het Depot - Leuven
Sinds zijn eerste grote hit met Tubeway Army ‘Are ‘Friends’ Electric?’ in de jaren ‘70, is synthpop-pionier Gary Numan eigenlijk nooit helemaal verdwenen. Solo scoorde hij een grote hit met ‘Cars’ en in 2013 bracht hij zijn laatste album ‘Splinter’ (Songs From A Broken Mind) uit.
Dit jaar gaat Gary Numan weer intensief toeren met zijn nieuwe, binnenkort te verschijnen album, Savage.
Zijn nieuwste songs kennen schrapende geluiden en synthesiserspel, die vaak ontaarden in dramatisch klinkende vioolpartijen, zwaar gitaarwerk en vette bassen. Gooi daar nog het ijzersterke zangwerk van Numan bovenop en je krijgt een knallende liveshow met een frontman die beukt, glijdt, danst en zweeft over het podium alsof hij staat te spelen voor een immens stadion.
Zin in een kleine new-wave revival? Dan is Numan dé artiest die u van donkere, meeslepende, zweverige en vooral nostalgische muziek kan voorzien. Komt dat zien!
