If there's one album you should judge by its cover,
Beefolk's Place Dramatique does a deadpanned good job of
living up to its image of affected histrionics. Once
defined as a "crossover Austrian folk-jazzy chamber
orchestra from Graz", the bee boys have added an
Icelandic accent to their vowel and extended themselves
far beyond the genres into their own dramatic space. If
their 2002 debut album, Orka, reprised traditional tunes
and the compositions of Astor Piazzolla and John
McLaughlin, the music of Place Dramatique is all their
own. Beefolk is a collection of mad individualists, whose
insolent personalities are branded into every bewildering
track. The most entrancing of the lot are composed by
minimalist-orientalist Georg, at the mouthpiece of the
saxophones, bass clarinet and flute, who does his thing
with the dizi on Banyan, which carries jazz into zen
territory. Co-founding member Klemo is artfully
francophilic, weaving his mandola, viola and violinic
mandolins into violent romances around the "wall of sound
arias" of lyricist-vocalist-trombonist Icelandic Helgi -
see Klemo's Anna ("rage against the belcanto") and the
lyrical Plast Dramatφk. Anarchist accordionist Bako is
the foundation of Austro-Balkan folk amidst the fury of
strings and brass, but his compositions Caleo and BourrΘe
betray his lust for tango with lively flair. The newest
members of the twenty-something bee-band are electric and
double-bassist Chris and percussionist-drummer J÷rg, who,
while they dutifully play along in all the right places,
occasionally slide into the spotlight. Watch your step,
these bees know their dance.
