Post-rock\'n\'roll

The post-rock'n'roll is a musical genre derived from the Rock.

Description

The term “post-rock'n'roll” is used for the first time by Simon Reynolds in the musical magazine English The Wire in May 1994 in connection with the first opus of Bark Psychosis. It describes a Musical genre “using instrumentations Rock for a result which moves away from the rock'n'roll and where the Guitare S are used to obtain stamps and sound textures rather than of the front S”.

Initially employed to qualify groups such as Stereolab, Disco music Inferno, Seefeel, Bark Psychosis, Moonshake, Pram or Labradford, name extend little by little to all the groups from independent Rock influenced by the Jazz or the Krautrock and which privileges the instrumental pieces, but also, starting from 1994, with the groups integrating of the electronic influences.

Groups of beginning of the year 90, like Slint or of the Years 1980 such Talk Talk, even 70 with Neu!, contributes to the emergence of the kind. As often, the denomination has its limits: thus, the term is applied to groups as different as Tortoise and Mono, which has few joint things if it is not the instrumental side their compositions.

Tortoise figure among the founders groups of the movement. After the exit of their second LP Million Now Living room Will Never Die in 1996, the group becomes an icon of the post-rock'n'roll. Good number of groups, influenced by the sound of Million Now Living room Will Never Die , record then in the wake of Tortoise, and are thus labelled post-rock'n'roll. Towards the end of the Years 1990, Chicago (Illinois) became the stronghold of the new tendency and shelters good number of groups, produced by John McEntire (beater of Tortoise) or Jim O' Rourke (producing, inter alia, of Brise-Glace or Gastr del Sol). At that time, the post-rock'n'roll widens its horizons by integrating influences going of environments of the groups of slow fox trot-core into the electronic rates/rhythms of groups such as Stereolab.

This style is in perpetual evolution. The label Constellation of Montreal (Quebec) precedes today as one of the most innovative labels because it knew to bring new blood to the kind. Deeply anti-capitalist and altermondialists, it signs varied groups which share the same political convictions. One will retain especially groups like Godspeed You Black Emperor! - renamed Godspeed You later! Black Emperor - which adds a dimension Politique to the kind, Do Make Say Think with decorated sonorities more jazzy planing tablecloths magnets, or Hanged Up (duet Violon/battery).

Starting from the beginning of the Years 2000, the term of post-rock'n'roll is employed less. The emergence of very diverse tendencies indeed caused a profusion of new terms which little by little emptied the name of any direction.

The scene post-rock'n'roll Frenchwoman is rather confidential. She gathers groups of very different kinds, but does not seem to seek to categorize them. All are often joined together under name Post-rock'n'roll or instrumental Rock.
