Sabe aquele tesão em ouvir algo que já nos primeiros momentos te suga pra dentro, seja o som, suave, caótico, denso, viajante, o negócio é a sensação de arregalar os olhos e pensar intimamente, "caralho isso é foda demais!".
Esses momentos descritos acima, acontecem ainda nos dias de hoje, acreditem ou não, e comigo, vira e mexe acontece, e nos primeiros momentos de "Noise", música de abertura de "Saf" primeiro álbum do Bur, quarteto de Chicago, eu fiquei meio olhando pra tela do computador, desconfiado, o som é um white noise instrumental arrastado de pouco menos de dois minutos, até aí ok, mas aí meus caros, quando começou "Help Yourself", meus olhos ficaram esbugalhados, aquilo gerou um frissom desgraçado em mim, e a sequência foi mais catártica ainda, "Rumination" é pra sair do chão e dançar, pular, se jogar sem medo de ser feliz, como nos velhos tempos da adolescência.
Um esporro, assim é "Saf", com doses generosas de fuzz, barulheira incessante, conexões com Medicine, Swirlies, J&MC, Nirvana, Flaming Lips, fase inicial, ou seja, barulho, barulho, barulho, daqueles bons pra cacete, mas que sempre desaceleram e dão aquela sensação de leveza, aquela coisa de pairar no ar sem sair do chão.
Uma coisa eu digo, Bur é foda, é a melhor nova banda da atualidade, e foda-se.
***** Interview with Bur *****
A: I started bur i think November or December of 2015. My buddy Eric and i had been playing music together just doing covers of songs at his house for a while so i asked him to play guitar then we found Justin our drummer and we’ve bounced around with bass players but that’s pretty much how it started.
Q: Who are your influences?
A: My favorite band ever is nirvana who i got into when i was in the 8th grade or so so they’re a big influence. I really like Elliott Smith and the beatles and of course my bloody valentine and velvet underground. Pixies were a big influence when we first started out also a local band called Liqs influenced us a lot
Q. Make a list of 5 albuns of all time…
A: 1. psychocandy-Jesus and Mary chain
2. Either/or-Elliott Smith
3. White light/white heat- velvet underground
4. In utero-nirvana
5. Magical mystery tour -beatles
Q. How do you feel playing live?
A: Playing live is alright. I kind of see it as a necessary evil to having any sort of success with music. If i could I’d just keep recording albums. It’s not that i hate playing live but i find more excitement writing a song and recording it well than performing it well.
Q. How do you describe Bur sounds?
A: We’re just a pop band with loud noises going on. We don’t do anything too special. That’s another reason why playing live doesn’t go so well for us because we just make noises and i can’t imagine it’s too pleasurable for a lot of audiences. Hopefully some people like it. But i just write basic pop songs and we play them loud so they sound cooler than they are
Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
A: I’ll just write the song and record it at our little studio we have whenever i can. We share the place with our best friends that play in a band called Daysee so whenever they aren’t recording we are
Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
A: daysee, gal gun, hair, Wayne’s shoelace, lazy legs, pussyfoot, funereal
Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
A: Oasis because we are rockstars
Q: What are your plans for the future?
A: Hoping to make this album something nice and just keep playing shows and having fun
Q: Any parting words?
A: if you are near Chicago IL come see us:-)
