londonÆs red snapper are back with their second warp/matador
co-release, and the first to be released simultaneously worldwide.
co-produced with hugo nicholson (primal scream, david holmes),
theyÆve created a new dark funk for the year 2000 and onwards.
with their 1996 debut prince blimey, red snapperÆs savage display
of traditional jazz instrumentation in a comtemporary context ù
and, most importantly, the band's ability to pull it off live ù
was largely responsible for the influx of dance artists fusing
acoustic instruments with electronic sounds. theyÆve since mined
their own territory, creating hybrids no one thought possible,
culminating in the intensely visceral, libidinous heat of æour aim
is to satisfy red snapper.Æ
a little history ù back in 1993, drummer richard thair joined
double bassist ali friend and guitarist david ayers, sharing a
mutual appreciation for breakbeat precision, rockabilly bass and
surf-punk guitar. red snapper's first vinyl came out in 1994, and
is a murky gumbo of dubbed-out jazz and subterranean bass which
sounds like nothing else of the time. two more eps followed before
warp records signed them up and re-released the singles on the
compilation reeled and skinned.
red snapper distinguished themselves from the outset by perfoming
live, not relying on studio wizardry to reach their audience.
during a period when most ôliveö music consisted of artists
sweating over a sequencer in a flightcase, here was a group of
gifted musicians who took their studio material and bettered it on
stage. by processing the raw nature of their instruments, the band
invalidate the dichotomy of ôman versus machine.ö
this promo release of red snapper's same titled album features an
exclusive track called "rake ii" which was not part of the album.
