Save! - Monsters And Fairies

SAVE ist das neue Projekt von Colder, dem Kult-Darkwaver von Trevor Jacksons Label Output. Mit Craig Louis Higgins Jr. (Paranoid London) am Mic. Erscheint auf Ivan Smagghes (a.k.a. Black Strobe) Label Les Disques De La Mort. Prima Namedropping für eine Platte, die Spoken Words mit seltsam transluzider Musik verbindet.



The music world waits a decade for more music from Marc Nguyen Tan AKA Colder - and then along come two albums at once. As Colder, Marc released two acclaimed, cult darkwave, post-punk albums on Trevor Jackson's taste-making Output Recordings in the mid 00s ('Again' in '03 and 'Heat' in '05). His new musical vehicle is SAVE! and their record 'Monsters and Fairies'. On this one he steps aside as vocalist and collaborates with American poet and singer Craig Louis Higgins Jr. Last year Craig contributed his unsettling spoken word to the acclaimed dub-acid trax by Paranoid London (recording under his Mutado Pintado moniker). The world they have created together, with Craig recording in London and Marc in Spain, exists in a dream, suspended between the two locations. A creeping, creepy Lynchian-world, where acid-dub work-outs combine with stream-of-consciousness monologues to make one of the strangest records this side of Serge Gainsbourg's reggae albums like 'Aux Armes et cætera'. The record warps and shimmers as if seen through a heat haze, a confused existential daydream or a dark wave mirage.
