Teri Gender Bender has all the rage and love in the world in her petite frame. If anyone, in these times of life where so much artificial music is playing everywhere, She embodies the true spirit of rock rebellion; this Mexican woman continues to make headlines with her band. Le Butcherettes, even more so with his new album A raw youth.
This album, produced by Omar Rodríguez López (The Mars Volta, Bosnian Rainbows), We could define it as a necessary revival of seventies sounds, adapted to modern times, coupled with a well-cultivated punk spirit that feels more in the exasperation of the vocals than in the instrumental intentions. Although it retains the rawness of other recordings, A raw youth It's a more experimental album, where the construction of unusual textures is allowed, along with an unconventional use of keyboards and A curious processing of some vocal tracks allows one to enjoy a strange elegance in the darkness of the result.. This is an album that doesn't submit to any market rules and still manages to satisfyingly captivate the listener with its electricity. Highlights include John Frusciante's outstanding collaboration on... My half y Iggy Pop's striking vocal performance, who sings the only song written in Spanish, The Grape.
Le Butcherettes' lyrics inspire a desire to fight back, to shake up the system, to break free from the oppressive mold. Their message becomes credible by transcending the obviousness of the wounded cry and crafting perfect melodies that resonate deeply with the listener. The words, which speak to and acknowledge all those who fight for their lives every day, powerfully empower the listener. Le Butcherettes invites us to reclaim the fury of adolescence and use it wisely in the years to come. It is about avoiding falling into resigned adulthood, the kind that accepts covering itself with complicit silence in exchange for mere survival.
A raw youth It's an inspiring, raw, and powerful album, with extraordinary moments in tracks like Witchless C Spot, Stab my back y They fuck you over. We are facing an essential album to combat discouraging times. One of the best musical productions of 2015, without a doubt.
