Speaking of Micha Acher, i was at the Morr music night in London last
night - Styrofoam, Ms John Soda + Isan.
Really good night, not a genius night, nor a night to talk of for years,
but definitely a good one. It was sort of running late, supposed to open
the doors at 7:30, but they weren't opened till at least an hour later.
By the time i had grabbed a beer, i had missed the first 10 or 15 minutes
of Styrofoam, who was pretty much the act i wanted to see most. Arne was
accompanied on stage by someone on guitar - blindingly good music. I don't
think he seems completely comfortable on stage, probably more due to him
now singing on a lot of tracks, so i would imagine slightly nervous, but
completely satisfying. The new album 'I'm What's There to
Show That Something's Missing' hasn't been discussed on here, but i think
its fscking genius indie-pop-electronica. The track 'Forever, You said
forever' hits you right in the stomach each time - sweet melodic clicky
electronica but with the overdub of a couple having a fight, giving the
impression you can hear them fighting through the wall, slightly muffled +
disturbingly voyeuristic.
Ms. John Soda was a lot of fun, just incredibly simple clean shoegaze
inspired pop music, carried off really well live. They played a few new
songs at the end which really rocked out, sounding sort of like the
No-Wave inspired sound of The Chap.
Isan ... Two guys on stage with their matching Korg MS-2000s, looking
kind of awed that the crowd were so rapturous for them. So good - big slow
bass + kick drums, childlike melodies playing over rising washes of synth.
They looked like they really enjoyed it and the crowd totally dug it.
Their set was squashed somewhat short because of the late running and the
venue putting the lights on 11pm which was a bummer, but still a decent
length.
