[REViEW]
This is the most fun CD I have heard in a long while.
Built upon a rich tapestry of uniquely Australian
samples, Spoonbill has created a modern Australian
masterpiece. One of the standout tracks, 2 Spoons,
incorporates all manner of Australian colloquialisms
weaved into a catchy swing sax melody over a bouncy
rhythm.
What more could a Koala Bear? (Sorry, but I could not
resist!)
Other tracks range from jazz infused sonic explorations
(Sneaker) with its bluesy double bass and Rhodes,
to full on sample-edelica, such as Gum Tree and
Gnocchiwok, the latter reminiscent of Frontier
Psychiatry by the Avalanches in its completely sampled
based structure.
The Red Queen Effect, which I think is a song about a
turtle, but please donÆt hold me to that, incorporates
Eastern tonalities and a gentle rap, while Celticruise
has a languid swing interspersed by many other interesting
elements.
Spoonbill is the alter ego of Jim Moynihan. Getting into
sample based music after a previous life playing drums and
percussion in a Ska band, he has brought a musically
balanced sensibility to his music. The tracks provided
here avoid an over-reliance on complex percussion to the
neglect of other musical elements that sometimes is apparent
in contemporary electronic production. The is complex
percussion programming, but much more than that.
And he does not take his work too seriously, keeping a
strong humorous element in most tracks. And he is exploring
Australian samples, not samples from the US or UK, sources
that dominate sample-based music. For example, Gumtree
samples the old Australian bush song, Kookaburra Sits In
The Old Gumtree and incorporates an enormous symphony of
other Australian samples: broad accents, AM radio, musical
snippets.
It is quintessentially Australian and it is a lot of fun.
Interestingly, Spoonbill performs live, with synchronisation
between the sound and music. This is wonderfully and
humorously illustrated by a video on the CD of Gumtree, one
of the highly sample-based tracks on the album. The video
matches the style of the music perfectly with its sampling
of visual images of Australian culture û Vegemite, Cinetone
news reels, Holden cars, and all manner of funny essential
Australian icons. Throughout all of the heavy Australiana,
it never gets cloying or clichΘd, but uses clichΘd sounds
and images to move beyond that and just have fun!
The CD finishes with samples of beautiful bird song. Ah yes,
if you want Australian musical fun, check out Spoonbill!
And check out the CD cover art work - its wonderful fun too!
