Narda: welcome punk
2.0 |
|
By Rome Jorge
DISCO punk revival is all the
rage, but most dudes just don’t get it. They rip-off the riffs,
ape the fashion and steal the sound. It’s like a theme park jingle
for them; welcome to New Wave Land with faux 1980’s sound replete
with retro sound synthesizers, drone guitars, eyeliner and other
cosmetic effects. Few capture the fierce vitality of a culture
rebelling against the self-indulgent heavy metal culture and the
failed hippie idealism of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s with
do-it-yourself aesthetics and sonic violence. Instead of world peace
and pot on a field of flowers, they wanted anarchy and coke on the
dance floor. That was their reality. Fewer still capture with
maturity and insight the pain of fleeting relationships in a
nihilistic and hedonist world of bright nights and dark deeds. That
was their life.
Narda, with their album
Discotillion, distills the essence of those heady days and serves it
to us straight in a shot glass. They got it right. And they got it
tight. What they got isn’t a put-on. They’ve jettisoned the
sweet pop sound of past efforts. This is punk 2.0 for 2007.
