Dean Roberts - And The Black Moths Play The
Grand Cinema
Slow, pensive, immaterial: those are the words
coming to mind when listening to And the Black
Moths Play the Grand Cinema. First released by
Ritornell in 2000 and reissued by Staubgold
four years later, this album consists of a
single anti-epic 40-minute piece. Dean Roberts'
guitar provides the backbone of the piece, but
all around it instruments come in and out, move
about, disappear on the threshold of
audibility, and then trade places with one
another. Percussion (mostly hi-hats, a favorite
apparatus in Roberts' set-up), piano, viola,
organ, harmonium, cello, bass and various forms
of analog and digital processing shape the
delicate textures and evanescent grooves of the
album. Whenever singing is involved (three or
four times over the course of the set,
sometimes in very short bursts), Roberts
delivers his lyrics in a murmur, as if he was
aiming for the ghost of a song format.
Supporting Roberts are Tim Barnes, Charles
Curtis and Matt Valentine. Curtis' cello is the
easiest contribution to pinpoint, his creative
textural playing providing highlights at
various points throughout the piece. The
artwork lists seven titles, but these are
barely indications, as the piece itself is
presented in a continuous flow, without even
movements being detectable. The trading of
hi-hats between Barnes and Roberts and the very
discreet role of Barnes' drumming keep the
piece in a state of quiet indecision and
stasis, while the other instruments clearly
indicate a strong level of planning and
songwriting. But this songwriting has the piece
slowly revolving around the listener without
taking him or her someplace else. It exists and
it lingers, ever-refining its textures but
never expanding on its initial proposal - "The
Fake and Detached," after which everything has
been said and done. This opener is also the
closest we get to a bona fide song. And the
Black Moths Play the Grand Cinema offers a
mesmerizing listen and establishes a very
singular atmosphere, but it is as if the music
comes from another plane of existence and is
refusing to materialize (or is prevented from
materializing) into our plane - which will be
frustrating to some listeners.
