Video: Arrington de Dionyso's Malaikat dan Singa- "Mani Malaikat"

Il y a un mois, Arrington de Dionyso était venu présenter son nouvel album Suara Naga aux Instant Chavirés, à Montreuil, le temps d'une performance fulgurante dans tous les sens du terme. Accompagné ce soir-là par le groupe d'Angelo Spencer, le concert tenait de l'oracle, de la danse sabbatique, de la transe, du théâtre - yeux exorbités, corps demi nu et arc-bouté sur une guitare qui semblait être un étrange prolongement de son ventre, chorégraphie serpentine, ponctuée par des cris et des grognements -, et du concert de punk-rock, mais du punk rock le plus frontal et le plus [...]

MP3 : Kedalaman Air Old Time Relijun frontman Arrington de Dionyso freaks me out, but in that haunted-hospital-hunting way, or reciting-Bloody-Mary way: things you do because they taunt danger. Shivers up the neck and all that. His mystic-psych solo project Arrington de Dionyso's Malaikat dan Singa is at Bourbon Street in Columbus this Monday, October 4-and if the urgency of last year's K Recs LP is any indication, it'll be a hell of a night.

MATT POND PA, WINTERSLEEP, THE LONELY FOREST (Doug Fir, 830 E Burnside) BIG FISH, SMALL POND -For the past 12 years or so Matt Pond PA has had little difficulty writing and singing glorious little pop songs, so it's not surprising that his latest, The Dark Leaves , continues this tradition. The pace is tempered, the guitars jangle, and Pond's voice sounds as warm as ever-proof that sometimes change is a very bad thing. EAC BATHS, THE GREAT MUNDANE, [...]

Sorry, something unexpected came up this afternoon, so no clever writing for today. Arrington de Dinoyso Darktown Strutters Final Club Drug Mountain (Rubber Gloves)

You may know Arrington de Dionyso from his other alter ego as the front-man of Old Time Relijun. When I saw the band open for HEALTH at SXSW back in 2007, it was one of those special moments - the kind you never forget. Shows like this, ones with wild stage antics, are the best to photograph and the best to watch. Grabbing a bass clarinet, an instrument whose presence is odd in virtually all forms of music with exception to classical, de Dionyso crafts breathtaking chaos. As he [...]

Dionyso, in taking us on his own journey into the mystic, has provided one of the most fascinating and bewildering North American releases of the year. This is not so much Future World Music as Parallel World Music. Listening to the new album by Arrington de Dionyso is not unlike playing one of the fascinating, visceral releases from maverick world music label Sublime Frequencies. Like the SF roster -- which includes Saharan guitar groups Group Doueh and Group Bombino, Syrian dabke star Omar Souleyman, and numerous compilations of radio-sourced pop music from Southeast Asia, North Africa, and the Middle [...]
