Trophies is a trio, I'm sure those of you who have an interest in experimental music will recognize the name of Alessandro Bosetti among the other players. On this cd Bosetti on voice, electronics and behind the mixing desk, his comrades in Trophies are Kenta Nagai on guitar and Tony Bruck banging the drums. The result is quite singular somehow and that itself should grant a listening and believe me after having listened to a millions releases all sounding the same, it's a beautiful surprise to find something like that. I'm not saying this cd will change your life but sure, after a few seconds of listening, you will agree with me it's not your ordinary release. How does this "become object of daily use" sounds like? Hard question for a firm answer, let's say it's one of the few work that reminded me of Harry Cow for real, a possible 2011 version of Fred Frith and friends? Maybe...Trophies follow the same weird and personal path. This release pays an homage to the Canterbury sounds, but it's mostly avant-jazzy music with a weird electronic edge, quite often the soft light singing of Bosetti follows guitars not while the drum pulse in swinged jazzy way. The music is not odd not even dark, it's simply strange, but as I have said the combination and the use of electronics here and there is strange. Nice work guys!.
