for all of the hoopla this album is actually quite boring and doesn't really incite much of a reaction from me - it's not like terribly bad nor is it some next level shit, and it doesn't even sound particularly "new" or "groundbreaking" or "different" or anything, I'm just not getting it at all guyz.

the "worst shit ever" hyperbole is about their live show, not their recorded material

Was anyone else at the Salem show in Shoreditch last night? The venue (a church) was really cool.
― She Got the Shakes, Thursday, 25 November 2010 10:31 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, I really enjoyed it. Perhaps not as much as I enjoyed being sat in a Hawksmoor full of dry ice listening to a DJ playing Fad Gadget, TG, The Units... And the support (Becoming Real?) was amazing when this tall gothic girl got up and started body popping like something out of an Aphex Twin video.
I wasn't 100% sure that Heather was singing live, tbh. But Jay, Silent Bob's mate seems to have sorted his rapping out.
― Carl Jung Jeezy (Doran), Thursday, 25 November 2010 11:11 (thirteen years ago) link
It didn't seem like she was singing live. I still really don't like the rap songs, and found the performance of those songs pretty cringey. The other dude strumming the mega-gain'ed out guitar was kind of embarrassing too. The funniest thing to me was when the guy on the side of the stage would lean over and press a button on the smoke machine, and you heard the really loud "hisssssss" as it released the necessary 'atmosphere' into the room.
They only played about 8 songs, I think. It was entertaining in the end, I suppose; I just think they could put on a much cooler show. Even the description from the beginning of this thread from a year ago - Saw these guys play in Rome and they just stood on stage and shared a cigarette while car crash footage played behind them. I have a feeling David Lynch c. "Fire Walk With Me" would've loved them. sounds so much better than the reality!
I'm bummed out I didn't watch the opener now.
― She Got the Shakes, Thursday, 25 November 2010 11:56 (thirteen years ago) link
I enjoyed it, and they've obviously come a long way in terms of actually realising that you need some stage craft since the Fader Fort thing, that I'd go and watch them next year with a fair chance of it being better again. The big Hisssss fitted in with the music and reminded me of the idea of Martin Hannett using aerosol cans as part of the percussion on She's Lost Control.

David Tibet of Current 93 hops on the bandwagon ;_;
Thank you to Matthew Davies at Tangled Parrot for sending me Salem’s King Night and Mater Suspiria Vision’s Zombie Rave Mixtape, both of which I love. Matt introduced me to the Witch House genre, of which I hadn’t previously known, but which I find fascinating.
― Damn this thread seems so....different without ilxor (ilxor), Thursday, 10 March 2011 15:38 (thirteen years ago) link
The most depressing thing about that statement is that someone who has done so much to trash ideas about what 'genre' is supposed to be throughout his entire career has proceeded to talk about 'the Witch House genre' with a goddamn straight face!
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 10 March 2011 15:55 (thirteen years ago) link
Haw, just knew the revive of this thread was what I too just read in Tibet's latest newsletter. It's depressing precisely because of what Ned lays out here.

― deeznults (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 10 March 2011 16:31 (thirteen years ago) link
It's also depressing because Salem sucks.
If he'd been excited about that Creep/Romy XX song, it would at least make sense.

(I find it near impossible to believe that a band named "Mater Suspiria Vision" could possibly be any good, partially because I am no longer 16)

Salem baited into trolling Whiney:
http://soldout.squarespace.com/blog/2011/3/15/salem-getting-to-the-root.html
soldout: certain music critics, particularly chr1s w3ingarten, have accused salem of being racist for the pitched-down vocals jack uses on album. we think that's ridiculous, but we'd love to know how you respond tothat. JD: Im not even trying to be in a dialog with angry/upset 40 year olds but... that guy is an ass :( . We all use effects on our vocals. Chr1s should probably eat a salad and go to bed. Its an intense and serious accusation to say someone is racist, its clear he doesnt understand our work but to be so negative as to say all that is very sad. Sometimes I think older people can be intimidated when something new gets attention, I just googled him and it looks like he is tryna be in a band....maybe he is jelix???? I pray 4 him.JH: is chr1s w3ingarten white? Racial interpretation is in the ear of the beholder. i pitch down my vocals too, i wonder if he thinks thats racist too even though i dont rap? H: He's probably just another angry white man. We get a lot of reactionary responses to our music, putting energy into hating something is still giving your energy to it, it doesn't bother us.
