Description

Døre kl 19 / Koncert kl. 20

Amerikanske Horse Lords skulle have indtaget ALICE 9. maj med deres distinkte blanding af freejazz, ørkenblues og vestafrikanske rytmer, men var desværre nødt til at aflyse hele deres Europa-tour på grund af den vidtfavnende situation med corona-virus. Heldigvis kommer de i stedet til København 8. september og indhyller ALICE i deres skæve og fængende univers. Danske Assegai leverer support og DJ Et levende menneske aka Anton Rothstein står bag pulten. Købte billetter kan bruges til den nye dato, men bemærk venligst ændring i aftenens tidsplan, således at dørene åbner kl 19 og koncerten starter kl 20.

Ægte musiknørderi udfoldes i en alsidig blanding af freejazz, ørkenblues og djent-inspireret polyrytmik, når Andrew Bernstein (saxofon, percussion), Max Eilbacher (bas, elektronik), Owen Gardner (guitar) og Sam Haberman (trommer) mødes under navnet Horse Lords.

Allerede ved deres første udspil ’Horse Lords’ fra 2012 blev de et kendt og velanset navn i de progressive og alternative musikkredse, hvilket sikrede dem turneer med navne som Matmos, Guerilla Toss og Guardian Alien. Det var dog Horse Lords tredje album, ’Interventions’, fra 2016, der for alvor gjorde dem til et ombejlet navn i alternative musikkredse. Albummet blev flere steder udråbt til et mesterværk, med dets særegne crossover af improvisation og komposition, elektronik og håndspillet rock, og var at finde på mange lister over årets bedste plader.

Horse Lords imponerer dog ikke kun på plade. Deres ry skyldes ikke mindst en række overrumplende koncerter samt flere stærke live-videoer, som i dén grad har slået deres navn fast som et band, man ikke skal snyde sig selv for at opleve live, hvis man får muligheden. Det fik København i 2017, da Horse Lords gæstede Jazzhouse.

Horse Lords har netop udsendt den længe ventede opfølger til ’Interventions’, 'The Common Task' (2020). Bandet skulle have spillet på ALICE 9. maj, men måtte aflyse grundet coronavirus. Derfor er vi glade for at de i stedet kommer til København 8. september med support fra danske Assegai og Anton Rothstein bag DJ-pulten.

Sagt om Horse Lords:

"...hypnotic, fluid and vocal-free: rhythms and tones achieving trancelike effect through repetition and discipline." Noel Gardner in The Quietus

"On “Interventions,” fast, repeated riffs become collaborative acts, over drones and strong skeletal grooves that stress the upbeat, and the whole thing is held together by concentration, timing and willpower." Ben Ratliff in the New York Times

Assegai:

Flere forskellige musikalske og geografiske hjørner mødes i et vitalt center, når Aarhus-baserede Assegai spiller op. Bandet består af Thomas Nørgaard (bas), Markus Sollid (saxofon), Kristian Obling (guitar), og Jesper Moeslund (trommer), der sammen skaber en skæv instrumental rock, der lugter ligeså meget af lynghede og egeskove som af savanne og ørkenlandskab. Rytmisk og tonalt motiveret af øst- og nordafrikanske artister, men alligevel med deres helt egen særprægede lyd. Bandet kunne opleves sidste år på ALICE og skulle også have spillet på årets Roskilde Festival, der som bekendt blev aflyst. Derfor er vi glade for at kunne offentliggøre dem som support til Horse Lords til september.

In English:

Due to the widespread global situation with Corona virus/COVID-19, Horse Lords has sadly been forced to cancel their Spring tour. Nonetheless, we are very happy to announce that their concert at ALICE has been moved to a new date – from May 9th till September 8th. Tickets can be used for the new date.

Grafting the relentless repetitions of modern minimalism onto the propulsive engine of rock and roll,Horse Lords create an ecstatic forward thrust driven by dueling polyrhythms that curve endlessly past one another. The Baltimore quartet, consisting of saxophonist/percussionist Andrew Bernstein, bassist/synthesist Max Eilbacher, guitarist Owen Gardner, and drummer Sam Haberman, employs arcane tuning systems to achieve their otherworldly harmonies, made possible by guitars refretted by Gardner. The resulting sound is at once stark and lush, tightly interwoven and threatening to fly apart, making their live performances spellbinding and utterly thrilling affairs.

Their 2016 full length ‘Interventions’ on Northern Spy Records showcases this visceral approach to live performance, as well their interest in crafting studio compositions that pull apart and reassemble the constituent parts of their music into more abstract forms. ‘Interventions’ was featured on several 2016 year end "best-of" lists, including Red Bull Music Academy and The Wire magazine.

The band visited Copenhagen in 2017 with a powerful concert at Jazzhouse. Now they are ready with a brand new album and should have played at ALICE in May, but will be back in September instead.

Support will be delivered by Aarhus-based band Assegai. Assegai consists of Thomas Nørgaard (bass), Markus Sollid (saxofon), Kristian Obling (guitar), and Jesper Moeslund (drums), and together they create an odd type of instrumental rock-music, that is just as reminiscent of moorlands and oakwoods as of savannahs and deserts with plenty of rhythmic and sonic inspiration from North and East African artists.
