Theme - Valentine (Lost) Forever | 14:54 |
Style: Industrial, Illbient, Abstract, Krautrock, Psychedelic Rock, Ambient, Experimental
Release Date: 14-09-2009 Label: Heart & Crossbone
Theme are essentially presently a trio based in Krakow (Poland), Leicester (UK) and Paris
(France). They began life when (the recently reactivated) Splintered, their previous band, reached a standstill in a generally typical 'Rock 'n' Roll' sea of foul tempers, ego-trippin', loss of sanity and narcotics sometime around the end of 1997, following a short European tour partly designed to promote the fifth and what at the time was deemed the last CD album (an eponymous collaboration with Germany's wonderful RLW). The debut album by Theme then took a painstaking amount of time and travelling to put together and finally appeared in 2000, titled 'On Parallel Shores Removed', on both founding member Richard Johnson's Fourth Dimension imprint and Tremor Recordings. At the time, and until 2006, Theme were a trio comprising Stuart Carter and Hassni Malik besides the aforementioned Richard Johnson. However, following the release of the second CD album, 'Our Angels Dislocated' (on Lumberton Trading Company), during mid-2006, Hassni Malik departed from the band to focus on his involvement with Brighton collective, The Vitamin B12, some solo endeavours and his paintings. In May 2007, Jeanne Boyer then replaced Hassni Malik as a (part-time) member helping with both live and recorded work. The music Theme play utilises a blend of real (often stringed or eastern) instruments, field
recordings and found sounds in a digital environment which neither confines them or loses sight of the organic sources. All of the instruments which can be heard are real and, likewise, nearly all other sounds are generated by Theme themselves, or occasional collaborators. Always moving and evolving, Theme attempt to explore all the possibilities which unfurl before them whilst simultaneously trying to avoid becoming too clinical, methodical, cold or detached in the process. The idea being to either channel or evoke the spaces Theme feel (un)comfortable in themselves; the state where perhaps calmness and numbness collide alongside too many convoluted thoughts, reflections and barely formed dreams. The space between consciousness and subconsciousness... A third album will appear in August/September 2009 on Israel's HCB Recordings. Unlike the
previous two, it features more in the way of vocals and voices. Titled 'Valentine (Lost) Forever' it is a richer affair concerned with bitterness, abstract thought and those lines between past and present where all notions of the 'self' can feel abandoned, lost or without meaning or purpose. Created from personal experience, late night recording sessions obscured by plumes of green smoke, the continued bouncing around of ideas prodded and poked at for at least two years, contemplation, and a little inspiration from Scott Walker's 'The Drift', it's the most 'song'-orientated work Theme have done so far. A remix by Steven Severin also features. At more or less the same time, Theme appear on a limited edition album on Lumberton Trading Company called 'Autumn Blood (Constructions)' with a piece titled 'Nothing Here'. Other contributors include kindred spirits such as Peter Christopherson, Volga, Steven Severin, Lawrence English, Birds Build Nests Underground, Human Greed (with LeeDVD), Formication, Sion Orgon, Zenial/Banabila, Andrew Liles and Colin Potter. | |
