Interceptors Review - Disco Ninja

If you were to combine Mario Bava, Dario Argento and John Carpenter, with Slowdive, Jesus and Mary Chains, and My Bloody Valentine, the result would be a kind of "shoegaze B-Series" and more or less will get you Screen Vinyl Image, a group formed in Washington in 2006 and this year we are presenting their debut album "Interceptors", a record that shows the taste of those for the B-Series and not by the classic shoegaze sound, of course it is also aimed at achieving krautrock sound rather peculiarly, even I would say that they already achieved in their first album (Midnight Sun) a sound that is a breath of fresh air and that is sure to anger fans by adding as time goes on. Songs like "Asteroid Exile" is shoegaze on the dance floor, "Synthetic Apparition" is of the future and the Goblin styled "Fever" is where you may look for a theme, make "Interceptors" a small delight that perhaps at this moment will pass unnoticed, but within a few years will surely be in demand.

 

Live Review - One Way Richmond

It’s not everyday a band from out of town comes in and destroys Richmond. Washington D.C.’s Screen Vinyl image did just that. I do mean destroy in a good way. They put me on the same level as TV ON THE RADIO did a couple of weeks ago at the National. Sorry, but this ain’t no bullshit. What is even more remarkable was the fact that they played in front of 10 people at Ghostprint Gallery. I would have thought they were in front of a sold out 9:30 club. Wow they just kept coming at me and the other 9. Obama is swatting flies? Fuck it. I’d rather hear beautiful songs like ‘Fever’ ‘Black Leather Jacket’ and the show stopping ‘Cathode Ray.’ One thing though, the bass player should at least pretend she gives a shit about playing in RVA.

Here’s how I came to know these fabulous Washingtonians. I went to Lift Coffee Shop to get an overpriced sandwich, as I waited; I picked up a Brick Weekly. After I vomited, I perused the classifieds for a job. Of Course, there was absolutely nothing for a college graduate. (Fuck you VCU for taking my money) Anyway, I left Lift and went by Ghostprint. I noticed the flyer for the night’s show. As I usually do, I investigated the bands. I checked out their Myspace sites. However, I don’t do social networking in case use gave a fuck. The millisecond I heard the headliner, Screen Vinyl Image, I was in love. I later told as many people I could to come to the show. They instead wanted to go to bars where guys wear pink shirts. I on the other hand went to the show and was blown away. Please see this band Richmond. 

 

Finally, our amazing photographer friend Chris Becker took some shots of us at the NME show we did last week with The Vandelles, The Vacant Lots, and Black Horse. Check them out here.

Daydreaming Blog - Interceptors
By Leonardo (Translated by Google)

It's cold here in Rio now. An unusual cold even for the city, always so warm. And it seems appropriate that the soundtrack to the thermal sensation is the first full length album of the band (a couple actually) Screen Vinyl Image, called "Interceptors", launched this year.

The disc was recorded in their own apartment, mixing guitars, textures created by old analog synthesizers, samplers and drum machines. Besides the obvious influence of the shoegaze sound (typical of the former group of which both were part of the Alcian Blue) on the work, the band returned to the daydreaming that even groups of old hip-hop like Public Enemy, Erik B and Rakim and Run DMC served as inspiration.

The opening instrumental impose the first impressions about the work, that show is present throughout the hearing: fear, tension, darkness. As the title suggests one of the tracks ( "Lost In Repeat"), the band seems to want to make their listeners get lost in the cloud of guitars, distortion and beats, and distant vocals that permeate "Interceptors."

Over time, it is easy to understand and establish relationships among the other references cited by the group to daydreaming: The Stooges, Suicide, Silver Apples, Loop, Giorgio Morodo, Patrick Cowley, Kraftwerk ... rock with electronics and eighty tons, a condensed form at its most raw and dark. But if fools who think it's just the way that musical ideas can emerge. As the word, the singer Jake Reid:

"One of our major influences outside of music is the film. We work and record even films playing in the background. Some of our favorites are directors Dario Argento, Jean-Luc Goddard, David Cronenberg, Jean Cocteau, Mario Bava and John Carpenter .

So, restating what I said earlier, nothing more appropriate than treating the Screen Vinyl Image as a track for those days when neither you nor the sun, want to leave the house. The music of the double, and the station may also be warm. And we are talking about sound and image, I feel obliged to finish the post with the video of the song "Fever," the fourth track "Interceptors."

Now give me back the license that covers ...
