A few years ago, Dima T. Pilot, guitarist of the Russian band
Pilots Up In Smoke, decided to have his own solo project
Bosch's With You, which over the course of the years turned
into a real band. On their third album Defamiliarisation,
Pilot was joined by A.B. on guitar, Bubble on bass and Bad_C
on drums. As far as I understood, the five lengthy tracks are
not entirely new, but comprise together a one-hour suite of
improvised material and elements from the band's older songs.
Fortunately, the improvisation factor doesn't really show on
the CD, as the music has such a slow development that the band
doesn't sound unsure of itself at any moment. This is best
illustrated on the twenty-one minute long opener #1 - As It Is
Bird, where the first ten minutes or so are only the guitars
interplaying before the rhythm section slowly joins the party.
Bosch's With You clearly have listened to second generation
post rock bands like Explosions In The Sky or Mono, and it
shows. They lack the symphonic grandeur of Godspeed You Black
Emperor, instead the Russians rely on the typical rock
instruments: guitar, bass and drums. The very long songs and
the sparsity of mood changes make the album probably very
unappealing for people interested in concise song structures,
but instrumental post rock fans will find much to revel in
these psychedelic ambient soundscapes that combine
effortlessly driving guitar moments with pastoral beauty.
Defamiliarisation is neither original nor a milestone of its
genre, but the uncompromising way with which the artists
pursue their artistic vision is rare these days, and make this
one of those albums you best enjoy in a dark room, with your
mind open for intimate sensations and your phone turned off.
Allow yourself a journey into the depths of your mind!
