"La schiva diva" - Hope Sandoval and the Warm of Invention - 25/05/2010/Bush Hall/London

Hope Sandoval fa parte di quelle poche cantanti donne che sono rimaste integre alla loro musica e lontana dalle luci della ribalta. Venni in contatto dei dischi di Hope Sandoval con il progetto Mazzy Star, nato dalle ceneri del gruppo Opal e creazione di uno dei chitarristi più importanti della scena del Paisley Underground nonché fondatore dei Rain Parade (uno dei miei gruppi preferiti in assoluto): David Roback. L’ultimo disco dei Mazzy Star uscì nel 1996 e da allora Hope Sandoval si e’ data da fare partecipando a vari progetti paralleli tra cui “Hope Sandoval and the Warm of Invention "which works with Colm O 'My Bloody Valentine drummer Ciosoig tonight show at Bush Hall in London. An evening so missed. "Tonight, the photographs are not permitted during the concert," and kindly 'pointed out the doors of the Bush Hall, reflects the idea of \u200b\u200bthe character of Hope Sandoval reserved. I do not wonder. The Bush Hall is a perfect picture for these kinds of concerts: crystal chandeliers, antique mirrors, and red drapes hanging from the walls. With a delay worthy of a diva takes the stage at ten along with Colm and four other musicians. The sound is nothing short of smashing two guitars, bass, keyboard and battery Colm for this small room. Hope Sandoval's voice you can not even feel and is lost in this chaos. There 's something wrong and feels. Hope Sandoval and a bit 'embarrassed, the entry is wrong with the harmonica and run continuously the stern look, his musicians, worthy of the photon beams of Mazinger Z. You hear a lot of tension on stage and Colm O'Ciosoig only seems to continue undaunted on his way, happy in her rollers and plates. And the darkness that envelops the room with only the projections of fragmented images on the screen, certainly does not help to create a more relaxed environment. At this point I really want to leave, a concert that makes me uncomfortable, but I insist. After Hope some piece jumps to xylophone and it seems a bit 'more' relaxed, there is a reversal of the rhythm and the pieces become slower and less cacophonous. I allow myself to waste time by Hope Sandoval's voice, almost subdued by these dark atmosphere and "lynchiane" and there appears a photographer on the stage that the machine gun on every corner, and horror! moves the musicians during the pieces to get a better angle of our diva. But the photos were not banned tonight? So Hope is not an artist does seem as shy, it seems rather a person who wants to have control over everything and everyone: his image, his music. There is no 'what to say, I am a bit' stunned. After fifty minutes of the concert the band disappeared backstage and returned with a stunning version of "Satellites" That alone is 'worth the whole concert and my twenty years of faithfulness to the creative' genius and Hope Sandoval.
