6MAJIK9 - WHNZ:20:MICE

2011 (Self released)
impro-noise, weird-folk
by Francesco Nunziata
5

Avevo perso un po’ di vista gli australiani 6majik9, recensiti nel 2007 quando pubblicarono il discreto “Your Friends Are A Photograph Of Your Future”. Oggi li ritrovo grazie al solito miscuglio di impro-noise e weird-folk di “WHNZ:20:MICE”, disco molto meno riuscito perché viziato da un’eccessiva dispersione. Le strambe jam free-form che compongono il disco (soprattutto la lunga “Heterotophia Manor”, “Spray Saw Patterns” e “In Search Of The Divine Vegetable”, quest’ultima con il moog che zampilla in bella evidenza!) fanno pensare a dei Rake. depotenziati, privati del genio.

Insomma, l’ennesimo esempio di “facciamolo strano a tutti i costi”. E non se ne esce…
