Espers, oui ! J'aime énormément. Il m'a d'ailleurs été difficile de m'acheter leurs CD, qu'on ne trouve même pas chez les gros disquaires aux USA.
Les autres, je ne les connais pas. Quant à
Joanna Newsom, je te comprends fort bien ! J'avais déjà parlé d'elle en des termes très négatifs, mais je pense que c'était sur l'ancien forum. Intriguée par toutes ces critiques dithyrambiques la concernant, j'ai écouté ses deux albums. Et j'ai bien failli abandonner en route ! Une voix parfois stridante de petite fille capricieuse !
Espers: c'est étonnant car nous en Europe, on a aucun mal à les avoir: max 3 jours (faut dire qu'ils sont en stock)
Et bien POG Six est fort similaire à Espers, du moins les deux premiers albums. Le Myspace que je donne ne met en écoute que des trucs du dernier qui est plutôt Fairport. Donc ne pas juger
Ci dessous la bio que j'ai écrite pour ProgArchives
P.G. for Pat Gubler, a veteran nowadays of the Wyrd/freak/Pagan folk scene, who started with upstate New York’s TOWER RECORDINGS collective that recorded some six albums before he left them in 2001 to start a solo career. He was their UK-Brit folk conscience and his solo recordings have indeed taken the same direction, often eyeing towards BERT JANSCH (of Pentangle fame) or The INCREDIBLE STRING BAND. As a matter of fact since Pat left TR, the collective’s general output has seriously taken a downswing curve, quality-wise.
So PG formed his (more or less) solo project P.G. Six and in 01 released “Parlor Tricks And Porch Favorites” on the ultra confidential Amish Record label. The music developed is a progressive folk that relates strongly to Brit folk and is now regarded as an underground classic album. The following “Well Of Memory”, released three years later, is an even more mature and has an eerie feel! This is generally seen as Gubler’s best album so far!
The all-instrumental “Music From The Sherman Box Series & Other Works” released in 06, still on Amish Records, is more axed towards chamber music, as it contains mainly harp-only works (much like the recent little wonder of Joana Newsom, minus her irritating vocals) under different settings. Most impressive in this album, is a 12-mins rework of his 95 single The Book Of Rayguns for six electric guitars.
His most recent album, “Slightly Sorry” was released on Drag City (the growing label in freak/pagan folk, and housing the similar-sounding ESPERS as well) is more axed to singer/songwriters folk and late 60’s folk rock groups like ISB, PENTANGLE and FAIRPORT CONVENTION.
