Love Motel
|
Après le paradis.
Techno beat for Love models.
The latest production of Love Motel re-examines the late eighties
sounds whose sombre sensuality now reaches us freed of its
deceptive glitter.
This is no slavish revival seeking authenticity through faithful
imitation.
The vintage sound is only one of the many fragments put together
to complete this shuffling post-disco assemblage (a Lynch
soundtrack with acid house samples woven into Princesque rhythms
? !).
The irony in this collection of
tributes only renders them more sincere and this post-heavenly
journey is also a multitude of contrasts for instance, between
the darkness of metal and the sensuality of the soul voices
or, between the overloaded guitars and the elegance of house
music.

"après le paradis les anges
auront des sexes des souliers vernis et des ailes en latex"
We are invited to freely wander
through the velvety meandering corridors, to open the doors
and discover the twelve songs bestowed by this private motel
you can check out any time you like but… you can never
leave.

a few words about Kazemi:
Born in Teheran and raised in La Chaux-de-Fonds
(Switzerland).
I played in several bands which were designed to bring us
lots of female attention (although the results of this plan
proved to be rather disappointing)
I moved to Geneva and played in A Girl With a Gun and
Easy ! A 3-track CD is released on the Hearwego label
and the proud band even acquires a groupie (Nancy) who faithfully
attends every concert.
The band splits as does the groupie. A new leaf is about
to be turned – New York, the city of hope, here I come
with my brand new sampler.
Collaborations made on various projects with a (crazy) Japanese
NY underground bass player and NYU film students.
Back to Geneva, recording a 3-track CD, written whilst in
NY, entitled Love Motel. One of these tracks is chosen
to be featured on the Swiss "Hosomaki Mix"
compilation. Collaborations made with various dance and
theatre companies and as well as with a russian artist (who
is known to be keen on blowing up garden gnomes !)
"après Le paradis..", the second
Love Motel CD, was released in the beginning of 2003.
