MP3 Gangi - A
9 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Experimental Rock, FOLK: Psych-folk
Details:
Gangi uses dissonance, contrasting sun-shining optimism with a harsh reality by juxtaposing dream-like vocals, guitar playing and melodies (at times echoing fractured pop of the 60''s and 70''s) with darker toned samples. Some of the samples are appropriated from news sources and others are sounds or musical elements that often give the song a harsh edge.
Gangi''s lyrics are loose narratives and ponderations that involve a random variety of situations, cohered by what''s ostensibly a politically significant tone. As mentioned in an earlier post, "in a world of excess and of constant interconnections, psychedelia can be more easily found within the kaleidoscope of this intricately fragmented reality than in the complete abstraction of imagined, subjective form that lent itself more to the purist mind-set of modernism". Gangi''s music achieves a transcendent abstract quality not by disorienting the audience to the point of incomprehensibility or complete subjectivity (which is something many other contemporary experimental bands do), but by sophisticatedly disorienting through avoidance to define era, instrumentation and source.
Eclecticism is being even further pushed and explored in the music with the recent introduction of new instruments, including the African drum and saxophone, at their CMJ showcase performance. Excessive eclecticism to the point of abstraction is clearly the new psychedelia.
