With their second album, Larvae strip their music out of the
genres they had been associated with, and focus on a sincere
reflection on their musical roots, their position as a band, and
their place in the musical landscape.
Integrating guitars on most tracks and vocals (by Jessica Bailiff,
Shadowhuntaz, Hope For Agoldensummer and Scalper), Larvae give
here birth to a very soulful and wonderfully produced album which
can not be overlooked, a work of great substance and talent.
"Dead Weight", Larvae's second album, is a work of deep
introspection and the result of a long reflection about the
origins and the paths threaded by the band so far. Following the
appraised "Fashion Victim", several successful tours in Europe and
North America and the important stir caused by the "Empire" 12",
Larvae approached this album more as an indie band than an
electronic music project, and walked out of most paths they had
been known to thread. Having proved themselves on record and on
the road and worked with highly regarded musicians and friends,
Larvae decided to measure themselves to a new challenge.
A lot more acoustic-sounding than its predecessor, this album
combines therefore the longing of artists constantly on the road,
the powerlessness towards the way their work is reflected in the
media, as well as their peculiar position as a part acoustic, part
electronic band in the southern United States. With this new work,
the band's purpose is not any more to pay homage to cultural
entities or to measure the group in the light of a precise musical
genre, but rather to extirpate the superfluous and to reduce the
sound to a direct expression of the musician's experiences and
tastes.
Mixing the song writing of Jessica Bailiff (Kranky, Anticon) and
of the local singers Hope For Agoldensummer with the twisted
rapping of the Shadowhuntaz (Skam) and Scalper (2nd Gen's live
singer, Novamute), and venturing in a territory inhabited by long
guitar tracks and electronic percussions, "Dead Weight" is not
only the album with which the masks are taken down, but also the
purest and deepest portrayal Larvae could give of themselves.
Honesty is the key word of "Dead Weight". Stripping their music to
its core, and separating it from any genre-related expectations,
Larvae's sophomore album is a passionate and authentic one. More
than a year in the making, the result of the collaboration of very
talented musicians and a highly detailed production, "Dead Weight"
is an album Larvae can be very proud of, and one which will leave
its mark.
