1 - BATTERIE, LA
- FIREMEN'S PARADE ON MAIN STREET - (CD)
CAKE AND COFFEE
The Berlin based band La Batterie wrote and recorded "Firemen's Parade On Main Street" (named after a song by the American composer Charles Ives). With this, their third album, despite availing themselves of pop music's instruments and structures, they once again diverge from classical songwriting and successfully elude categorisation in any particular genre. La Batterie don't emanate from the idea of a band, but rather from the idea of the song, which is conceived from the outset as an open structure, a domain in which to batten ideas. The fact that in the end these ideas add up to a song appears before the astonished listener as a kind of miracle. The songs are images in which divergent spaces, moods and colours confront and play off each other without ever fully coalescing. In so doing and without quotation, elements of avant-garde and pop history shine through in their music. Each song opens the door to a unique universe of constructivist eccentricity. La Batterie write songs with the understanding that melancholy can only be opposed with ideas. That the struggle of this process remains audible and is flaunted with relish, accounts in some small measure for the allure and special charm of La Batterie.
