You will hear Ful stop and My iron lung touched then and what separates the two themes is more than 22 years. You learn in mathematics that the relationship between two sets may contain or being is contained. In the case of Radiohead, it can be said that since, in 2003, started with Hail to the Thief the path that brought them here until tonight Friday that performed at the Promenade Algés maritime in front of a sold alive for months, are looked stay in this perspective that the past contains each new album and every concert, and how are contained by the past. That is, as with any band that gets a reasonable popularity, from the maximum point of this artistic recognition all that comes after will always be placed in the shadow of that past, measuring to what extent does it justice or leaves truly haunting.
When we speak of Radiohead, this measurement becomes even more thankless for the simple fact that, to Hail to to the Thief , there was no doubt that his route was made digging in the future direction, climbing barriers and challenges as if the music were a mystery always waiting to be unraveled. Today, the music of Radiohead is no longer made of this mystery, ceased to behave a real risk idea. Still, hear and see the group stage in 2016 is much more grateful than it had been four years ago. For two reasons: because The Moon Shaped Pool is an album that is not so mistreated when placed side by side with the first album and why this time the troupe of Thom Yorke forced under the new disk.
If for four years, by the time of presentation of the King of Limbs also in Alive, seemed an eternity before Radiohead awaken a comatose dream that met with intricate repertoire and less suited to the popular taste of festivals, this return to introduce the Moon Shaped Pool is made with a compelling opening sequence ( Burn the witch , Daydreaming , Decking dark , Desert island disk and Ful stop ) that ended in My iron lung and Talk show host , two classics of the group. Ful stop and My iron lung , therefore, to understand how Radiohead went from a band of guitars for a band with guitars, and as time has led to the genius Jonny Greenwood while triggering constant attacks on the harmony of the songs (from Creep that it is so) now brings an additional creative breath with string arrangements we hear make great songs like Burn the witch or Daydreaming disk but are absent from the concerts.
in its place, however, we find a final <> Talk show host threaten to transform the space in an unexpected ballad bastard funk, and the gloaming to let go for an outcome in which the whole song seems to be sucked into a key counter-hand, gurgling dissonance. Both in The gloaming in assailed pace by spasms the good way of afrobeat, as in Lotus flower , you realize well why Radiohead have permanently two batteries in stage, compensating for percussive power limitation in the implementation of some arrangements that would require an entire orchestra. Surrounded by Exit music (for a film) , Everything in its right place , Idioteque and Street spirit (fade out) , it is clear that the recent past only Lotus flower and Reckoner manage to generate a euphoric reaction in the crowd of 55,000 people.
and we talk 55 thousand because, being exhausted the second day in Alive, the band have asked if there were other concerts taking place simultaneously. The organization agreed, all roads were giving Radiohead and they reciprocated with two hours of concert culminated with a pair of encores that were part of Paranoid Android or There there first Creep and Karma police later. A clear demonstration that this is Radiohead more stimulating than it was half a dozen years, its performance now depends, above all, to dig into the past. A good concert, but without the previous feeling of being listening boiling music, require the public to follow them. Now is not accurate, we know where they are.
Australian psychedelia
The question of what to do with the past (own and others) is also present in people with much less historic. By early afternoon, the second stage of the festival welcomed the Jagwar Ma, author in 2013 of a Howlin ‘ that was all a portent of psychedelia of fiery hips, a version increased Madchester, bright when topics such as Come save me were a syncretic beaten Small Faces, Beatles and danceable electronics. Without losing this essence, Come save me now appears late daughter of disco sound, while the Australian trio seems to attend the church of Animal current Collective, where musicians take on the role of DJ, dedicated to shoot proven hits and rotating buttons. After an excellent pass by the Primavera Sound in 2014, Jagwar Ma seem now walk something lost in his own trip, sometimes embarking on these trips just because yes, without causing any kind of revelation (own or others).
Peek, therefore, his fellow Tame Impala on the main stage to see how you do this exercise to dump electronics for over a psychedelic primer. At center stage is the projected image of a spiral, obvious corresponding to the whole exercise of collective hypnosis that the group led by Kevin Parker tries to carry out. And it will have achieved it, judging by the “competition” that has taken place among the female audience whenever their presence was chosen by the service director to appear on the big screens flanking the stage, what was taken as a challenge to nudity and that led Parker to drop an “Oh, if your parents to see you”, to then correct for a “we’re at a festival, do whatever you want.”
on the part of Tame Impala, the same almost impossible revenues plunging the voice of the instruments to make wonderfully diffuse any song that put hands (magnificent Let it happen , Elephant , the less I know the better or Feels like we only go backwards ), managing to cross a progress Motorik with a song as the T.Rex in Elephant or sound strangely close to Air Sexy boy the less I know the better now living in the realm of synthesizers. Another excellent passage of Tame Impala by Portuguese stages, after editing a Currents that was far from consensus.
A room with world size
on Friday especially Australian, inevitable highlight even for the presence of Courtney Barnett – who together with Father John Misty, walked the Stage Heineken to prepare and feed the cult. With an air misaligned, who got out of bed directly to the concert, the triangle that appears to make clear move: the same glow melodic Julianna Hatfield in the 90s, the narrative fall of Bob Dylan today and always, a certain casualness even with teenager aftertaste and closed in their own world that recalls the Moldy Peaches.
with a small crowd in delight and letters on his tongue, Barnett went through topics such as An illustration of loneliness , Debbie downer , Depreston or Pedestrian at best , shot their existencialismos with the size of a quarter and the scope of the world, walked guitar to his knees, he came and went as if only by accident someone could have given her. Exactly the opposite of Father John Misty, a man who takes the stage as if to celebrate a outdoor mass. Among ballads that try to be gospel and songs of a southern classicism Bulletproof (lots of country lurking) is allowed to give airs possessed here and there but quickly back to its primordial condition singer with the heart to jump through the mouth, remembering the good legacy of Lift to Experience. . Popular worship forecast for the coming years
The journey also included with the hectic Funk Da Chick – which began honor Prince a passage by 1999 – or the meeting North- South of the national hip hop starring Sam the Kid and Second World. But nothing like getting the afternoon in the hidden scene on a street behind the restoration. A stage that is especially the recreation of a fado house where Helder Moutinho sang and directed a series of small concerts with Ricardo Parreira (Portuguese guitar), Marco Oliveira (viola of Fado) and Vanessa Alves (singer). Already the day before the space filled to hear Raquel Tavares and returned to prove that the growing international interest in the In Alive find this little showcase a discreet but fair gimmick to fado, able to charm the audience with a Fado ballet or what remains of the Moorish quarter . After all, even fado is rock’n’roll.
