| april 2010 release ; ... killer group-session triply helmed by the indefatigable ghédalia tazartès (sounding fantastic here ; largely on processed vocals & associated cut-ups) & opéra mort’s él-g & jonathan “jo” tanz (procesz) ...
... lots of noises abound (toy sampling instruments ; crackling “cracked” effluvia) do buzz & moan throughout, but it’s the “deer in the headlights” zones (i.e. listen to the sound-sample to your left) where they lock into rising soul-voids that make this one of the better latter-day tazartès outings (up there with “repas froïd”) ... |

reines d'angleterre
les comores
lp hand numbered ltd 400 copies
reines d'angleterre is inexplicable ethnic residue, the prince of all taste, a stripped back smear on the blight of genre. the music of reines d'angleterre's feasts on duality: chaos and order, narrative and anti narrative, erection and destruction, dread and comedy. the voice rides alongside electronics: cracked beaten, weathered and bruised.
él-g met ghédalia via a radio show which resulted in high frivolity. following this jo was asked to join them in the band which manifested in 2008. to the public, they first surfaced playing a live set at the esteemed colour out of space festival in brighton, a welcoming bed for all idiophonics. reines d'angleterre made friends with a damaged conglomeration of live concrete, sound poetry, faux ethnicity and sincere eccentricity. subsequent shows allowed the outfit to explore and refine their discovered terrain as it unfolded. a recording session resulted in the unique concoction 'les comores' (a reference to the island off the eastern coast of africa which france still administers as an 'overseas collectivity'). a band made up of ghédalia tazartès and a couple of hyperactive young buck parisians jo and él-g. both of these humans are steeped in unsavory operations covering grounds of pop, electronic hallucinations, damaged pyramids and hurled comedy (él-g) and the tanzprocesz label and placenta popeye duet (jo). they also both perform under the moniker of opéra mort.
