"Boston Tea Party" is "tattooed rose"

Group "Boston Tea Party", the leader of the Moscow rock decadence and movement "Velvet Underground," the work was completed on a new album, "The Rose Tattoo". Elements of mysticism, was eroticism inherent theatricality "Boston Tea Party", vivid and fascinating. Also notable dive of the Gothic aesthetic, as proven by the names of some of the songs, "Dance of the Dead", "Vampire Love". The music intensifies features dark cabaret and symphonic rock and jazz and rock 'n' roll drive is still biting and snooty. The release of "The Rose Tattoo" is demanding a boon for lovers of art and indie-rock, and aristocratic decadence and general trends in the underground music and art, and more rare and valuable real aesthetes be. "Boston Tea Party" album presentation in Moscow on 11 November will be held at the club Mezzoforte - along with the presentation of the new edition of "aesthetes". The leader of the "Boston Tea Party", a journalist obozrevatelm international journal "Aesthete" Vladimir Preobrazhensky told "Showbiz News NEWSmusic.ru" about the new album. - How was the album "The Rose Tattoo" If written material What a? concept combines these songs - the album began with the video for the song "Ophelia", which was filmed two years ago by director Alexei Nevolin, but never saw the light. Specially for the occasion, we sat in the studio and recorded "Ophelia" properly with good sound. Then I thought, now that's still in the studio, we do not write one, but three songs. So there was still "Vampire Love" and "The Rose Tattoo". It took three or four months, and then it hit me: three songs, plus three other songs - it is usually the album. Such a large-scale work began defined contours that did not compromise at first. A shot clip - very surreal, with Ophelia, floating on the asphalt, the gravedigger, bathers, Hamlet foundling, and other colorful characters - oh, was stopped at the time of installation and computer graphics, and the outlook is still uncertain. The album adds two songs archive, which I think I was a karmic debt. They had to finally see the light after appeared on the album. Wrote the songs "Crazy Artist" and "Painted World" in 1993 and has become the absolute concert songs from "The Flying Dutchman", my first rock band that I dedicated five years. But only now, thanks to the skill of the musicians, "Boston Tea Party", songs were heard on the part of the agreements in the form in which were written. In the song "Painted World" Flute played legendary Russian musician, member of the "aquarium", "Nautilus Pompilius", "Yu-Piter" and head of the "band Sakmarov" his own project Oleg Sakmarov. Terrific musician and an incredible human soul. Many thanks to him for everything! By the way, the clip was removed to one of the songs on the album - "thin cigarettes." The thing is usually the "fresh", was added in the same breath, and I think musicians "Boston Tea Party" still undergoing significant transformation. A video shot of two beautiful girls fighting positions - Director Natalia verbs and operators Alina Boudin. Incredibly talented and dedicated to the art. In the role of the protagonist in "slim cigarettes" here .... a young man named David. Shooting just nice (or not) would be a girl too banal and vulgar. Given the texts and their "tsirkacheskuyu" music. Therefore, there were two possibilities: either molodyaschuyusya Dame Invite 50-60 years very bad form, or ... The choice fell on David, he's incredibly artistic and expressive, and the image of women (especially in the scene, which we unfortunately could not reflected in the clip) is just perfect. Thank you and this circus jugglers Timur and Angelica, who kindly agreed the main role in the film. All in all, enjoy! - The album "The Rose Tattoo" visible Gothic slant. Was there a certain mystique in the recording of the album? - Oh, yes! The songs "Crazy Artist" and "Painted World", written three years ago, has been copied by several institutions as a whole and potrekovaya. If the question of their inclusion on the album, it was found that it is not write a copy of the draft Only mp3 version. They were the ones who end up thoroughly mastered and were included on the album. Percussion on the plate for "Dance of the Dead" at some point in itself played on the audio track out of nowhere, the drums had some taken with their shamanic figure. Strangeness was repeated several times. And the money to purchase the strings in the "Dance of the Dead" I found ... literally on the street. Yeah, went straight on the day of recording at home, walked a hundred yards - and here is a nice piece of paper with good tsiferkami is literally at your feet. What is it if not a sign post, and all that do not worry! Literary listeners find the album a number of cultural "otsylochek" allusions ... Can you give some of them to leave a comment? - In fact, "The Rose Tattoo" - the game of the famous American playwright Tennessee Williams. The themes of the songs and plays, but overlap is very disturbing. "Hymn to the Night" - a famous collection of poems by the German poet Novalis, a brilliant representative of romanticism in literature. "Crazy Artist" in 1993 could be considered on the basis of the later stories IABunin the genuine Russian Gothic literature written. A few words of the song "Girl reading Fowles' ... John Robert Fowles - the famous English writer, the author of the novels." The Magus "," The Collector "," The French Lieutenant's Woman ", the song was supposed to return to the first album, "Spies of glamor", published in 2009. But then the musicians "Boston Tea Party" is not satisfied with the quality of the played and recorded material. But now "Girl reading Fowles' blooms in all its glory. - How did you determine the style in which a "Boston Tea Party plays - you know, the fundamental weakness of modern music is firstly this manic obsession sound that often masks the lack of melody, lyrics and pretty hideous complete absence? ideological content of the material. peered closer and you realize that people have to just say nothing. Secondly pomeshannost on newfangled kinds of music, the desire, at the same time because now they say, "the trend" and the desire to step " . in front of the other, "So, if we are asked to define your own style, we say:" courtly decadence "- because the aesthetic is not the first place I the festival" created Velvet Underground "define even better. ". extreme sentimentality" our style as you have not seen this musical direction (Laughs) Where is -? "ahead of the rest", or behind? I think it is. The album "The Rose Tattoo" I see a certain parallel to the history of Russian rock music of the late twenties. I think what we do in the spirit of rock caught directly over the mid to late 80s. It's no coincidence we liked the music Oleg Sakmarov, and he, by the way, a man with a conservatory education, professional musicologist. I terribly arrogant to say this, but we have something to say. And we are as an artist, we take every opportunity: the words and arrangements, and sound and stage persona technique. Everything is important. - The importance of all the elements for the visual side and the album? - Sure. Album for us - an integral artistic artifact, a work of art. At least, we look forward to. Although the format of the CD today, it is no secret, quickly release its relevance, we lose the album "The Rose Tattoo" in such a vehicle, with a deluxe 12-page booklet. And all of this is important! We not only want to produce a series of music tracks that can be on a flash drive Download corny - all. - Were you able to create a "Boston Tea Party", creating along the lines of the great decadents and etetov past their "ivory tower"? - The process is endless. But a cultural oasis where we are good and interesting, we have created. And with us, it is good for the people who are close to the aesthetic of decadence and dandyism philosophy, those who find their worlds Wilde, Edgar Allan Poe, perhaps, Tim Burton and David Bowie, and Igor Andreev Severianin, definitely - Baudelaire and Huysmans, those who live in multiple worlds and times. It is no accident the activity of "Boston Tea Party" and the related art projects eventually transformed into a festival "Velvet Underground". - Who is he - a man breathing machine "Tattooed Rose"? How do you imagine your ideal audience? - Of course it is a gourmet and esthete. Picking up the album "The Rose Tattoo", it will not open it right away - have fun guessing anxiously wait for what he sees and hears in, "under cover". Then he slowly reveals the envelope, enjoy exciting crunch wrap, open the brochure will breathe the fresh smell of ink, eat rich colors. Thoughtfully read a few texts, domyslivaya: how they are to the music, and for what. And only then, turn off the lights, sitting comfortably on a chair, buffet, incense or scented candles, a glass of fine drinks filled, he puts the disc and push the "Play". So every esthete always with music, "Boston Tea Party" is involved in the creative process. And the result is magic. I am confident that with the first touch, you will feel a slight scent of this music and the lyrics, and only the second, third dive into the world of courtly decadence they unfold, blossom, is the same as "The Rose Tattoo" .
