Info
RIP KC recorded their fifth LP in summer and fall of 2006, in the forgotten village of Quintanilla de Somoza, León, Spain. The songs on “Spinguolf” (Alone Records/Influx) are as stylistically free as its title suggests. Burying any labels and classifications and allowing the subconscious to flow, RIP KC have always had a clear objective during rehearsals as well as during recording: preserve on tape the musical crossroads where, halfway through this decade, they are currently standing.
The strategy is this: place microphones to hear, among bells ringing and the barking of known and unknown dogs, the outcome of the sessions of a group liberating its own sound. There’s no catch, morning, noon, and night, at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, their songs emerge with a necessary closeness for the process to capture the moment and as the experimental vehicle, in a way that the recording is synonymous with reality. It’s about capturing this directness and spreading it everywhere.
Half times, recited passages, on “Spinguolf” the tracks follow one another without complexes to celebrate frames of mind. Sweet guitars, airs of keyboards, winding bass, and free drums are the instruments for a trip to faithfully transmit who these three musicians from Vallecas, Spain, influenced as much by Eskorbuto as by John Coltrane, really are. It’s about giving free rein to the primitive instinct that turns music into that something that is so difficult to describe.
“Spinguolf” does not go beyond its previous work “Obvious and Bleeding.” It is simply a continuation, reflecting what we already knew: RIP KC reinvents itself with every recording. Refusing to remake their previous album, praised by critics and fans alike, on “Spinguolf” the band reforms a new incarnation of their punk spirit, an attitude towards music that does not require saturated guitars to reflect that musical and emotional freedom which led to the invention of rock and roll so long ago.
