(asp03/EAN 8032644745032) Portland/Oregon-Sacramento/California:
580 miles. One of the longest trip for the first Jennifer
Gentle North American tour. Jennifer Gentle is an Italian
act, and in february 2004 they became the first Italian band
EVER to be signed by the legendary American label SUB POP
Records!
They play at the Academy of Fools, a sort of garage converted
into an Art Gallery: a big open space, low ceiling, completely
empty, walls without anything, no stage, no audio system,
just a microphone. It seams the beginning of abad night, n
the contrary due to the wonderful view e the beautiful Californian
Sun, or just for themselves and their
funs, the Jennifer Gentle decided to play anyway; not their
usual repertory to much noisy but just an improvisation made
by their instinct. The result was a hypno jam session, relaxed,
honeiric. The day after Jennifer Gentle play at the Davis
KDVS radio, where they propose and records the same jam of
the previous night, which became the “Sacramento
Session”. Back home, working on Marco’s improvisations
with different sounds, manipulated, mixed and remixed, they
found the specular image from a distorted mirror of the “Sacramento
Session”: “5 of 3” is the perfect B side,
the balance andoverturn of that Californian night. We would
also like to point out, that "Sacramento Session / 5
of 3" is not the new studio album by Jennifer Gentle,
but is instead a combination of a jam session with a later
studio manipulation. |
