Dianogah
Baru tahu soal band ini, Dianogah, ngeliat beberapa song clip Dianogah di YouTube
Cool sounding band, w/ some lo-fi,but laid-back, old-school punk/hardcore sound.
banyak lagu2 mereka pake bassline mereka ngingetin gue lagunya Fugazi "Long Division" dari album Steady Diet of Nothing.
2 albums yg gue denger beberapa lagu consistenly good:
1. Battle Champions (produced by Steve Albini, who produced some of my favorite albums Pixies "Surfer Rosa" gigantic...gigantic...gigantic..., Breeders'Pod" , Helmet "Meantime" some songs only apparently)
2. As Seen from above
lagi nabung dulu buat beli CD2 Dianogah.
anyway, check them out..
a review of Dianogah' As Seen from above album in "Top 11 Rock Albums of the ’90s You Probably Never Heard"
At an utter loss once for the words to describe this magnificent trio, I blurted out to a friend, ìImagine Television if Lloyd and Verlaine played bass instead of guitar.î Lyrical, fluid, intricate-but-not-showy, this almost entirely instrumental band quite simply does everything right. The dialogue between the higher parts that Jay Ryan coaxes from his Rickenbacker and the more traditional low-end counterpoint that Jason Harvey holds down on his Fender is just stunning — there is a playful complexity here that is rarely heard in rock music. Add to this Kip McCabeís skilled, syncopated accompaniment on the drums and the interplay of these three at times approaches the level of sophistication of jazz. Dianogah make some of the most inspiring, fun music I have heard in a very long time, and this is accomplished without electronic effects or any sort of schtick or bombast — a tribute to the virtues of pure musicality and resourcefulness within fairly narrow formal parameters. If all of this sounds daunting — the kind of stuff only sophisto music professors might enjoy — allow me to assure you that it is not. There is an energy and a swing to this music that makes it a pure joy to listen to — if it is cerebral as well, it is in a way that keeps the proceedings fresh and only adds to the pleasure. Possibly my favorite band of recent years.
did I mention that Jay Ryan plays bass dan juga vocalist di Dianogah? Yes, that Jay Ryan, screen print & poster genius...
