Then after a proluvio sampling and noise, distortion and feedback, testing and alchemy indie-tronic (Neil Young and Sufjan Stevens, naming no names), is a normal - as Totti says: did you notice?, starts all the sentences with "it is normal ..." - who returns to look for the healthy and classic rock and roll, to duechitarreilbassoelabatteria, few frills and no ideas in your head.
So here we are served the third album by Canadian band the Black Mountain Wilderness Heart, and not too explicit homage to the masters of the original Led Zeppelin - in their most 'folk, to Tangerine - and Black Sabbath. More 'direct relation to previous work, we are pleased to duets and singing the sounds of sixties The Hair Song (videpclip remarkable, in heavy rotation on b n) and Buried By The Blues.
A proposal even more 'interesting coming from an area adjacent to Canada, ie Seattle, Washington, once a glorious birthplace of the grunge movement and now with the nearby Portland, Oregon (You fawning, Menomena, Decemberists in this regard, the release of their attessisima The King Is Dead has been postponed to early January) new mecca of the American indie scene.
Bizzaro haired band of seven musicians - even more often bearded -, Hey Marseilles to offer a fantastic orchestral folk with a great horn section, cello and accordion, mindful of the lessons of the masters Decemberists and Okkervil River.
Despite their name, which portends a taste a bit 'French, maybe retro, but they address the their attention to the great Celtic tradition is not by chance on their site you can admire them in a recent acoustic session at Doe Bay Fest 2010, held at Orkney Islands (http://www.heymarseilles.com/home/).
Their debut album, titled Travel To And Trunks, proves an enjoyable listen, which is over an hour of melancholic ballads revisited with an air of almost progressive (Cannonballs, Someone To Love) or songwriting style (You Will Do For Now ), the tone remains bucolic and naive, but resigned rather dark, still very far from the climate caciarone and often high alcohol content of the British indie-folk (Mumford & Sons).
