Free Music Notes for Mi Media Naranja
Free Music Review: Soul Music for the Jilted Generation
Hit: 5 Stars
Labradford have never exactly followed musical convention too closely but in their own roundabout way the Richmond trio have developed their music and reached a pinnacle with their last 2 records. Mi Media Naranja (My Orange Half en Ingles) is quite simply stunning. The music is haunting and minamilistic, recording in texture rather than notes they conjure up dreamscapes in the listeners mind and intoxicate the mind. Inhabiting the realms between asleep and awake the music flows and entwines around itself, utilizing an array of instruments on the way. On 'I' cellos gently flow around eachother, soaring up at the end of the track breaking free from the earlier mantra like refrain of Nelson, "did you bury it, deep enough?". The other tracks (seven in all) are equally minamalistic and sparse, usually built around fragile guitars and organs with the occasional murmour from Nelson. Perhaps best described as a soundtrack rather than an lp but i for one can't even begin to imagine a film cpable of doing the music justice. Music that bypasses the ears completely and becomes only emotion and nostalgia, truly beautiful.
Mi Media Naranja Poster
Listening to Labradford's Me Media Naranja is like eavesdropping on the dream music of the American cowboy. Echoing, watery guitars float over the open, dusty range of the mind. A waxy organ and percussive bells flesh out the atmosphere while each song seamlessly carries on the soundtracklike tradition of its predecessor. The small, whispering voices and relaxing, risqué melodies survive in the soul long after this eerie music has ceased. An absolute ambient classic. --Karen KarleskiWith slippery, twangy guitars that would make John Barry or Ennio Morricone smile, LaBradford have always suggested the cinematic rather than the bombastic. Eschewing drums, their latest Kranky release pits their spy-guitar aesthetic against long repetitive loops of retro-jazz keyboard, lazy cello, droning church organ, and sampled machine noise. The tunes are titled quixotically as well: Track one, "S"--an aquatic journey through a spaghetti Western oasis--leads into track two, "F"--an eight-note mantra that repeats as glassy slide guitar and a hushed, backwards voice intimate the David Lynch of Lost Highway and Twin Peaks. Never losing a sense of mystery and what Gaston Bachelard called "the poetics of space," LaBradford is the rock band most likely to succumb--to the fever of the unknown, the madness of the infinite. --James Rotondi
