La tripletta di inediti e rarità consegnata dai Residents in vinili a tiratura limitata in tre distinte occasioni del Record Store Day è finalmente riunita in più ampia collezione presentata in doppio cd da Cherry Red Records: Leftovers (1970-1988), con molti documenti a suo tempo scartati o trascurati ora invece accolti a pieno titolo nella brillante serie pREServed.
Combining new RDX mixes produced by The Residents using their original multitrack tapes under lockdown conditions during 2020, and a number of tapes placed by Hardy Fox in a part of the band's storage complex re-discovered in 2023, Leftovers brings together the Leftovers Again?! Record Store Day trilogy, alongside extra leftovers which The Residents couldn't fit onto those vinyl-only releases. Featuring alternate versions and lost tracks from The Residents' "classic" 1970s period, the lost Man album music, Mole Trilogy outtakes, alternate versions of God In 3 Persons material and even evidence of a brief "jazz phase" Leftovers is a treasure trove for fans of this remarkable, chameleonic band at their best pREServed for future generations - this is The Residents as we've always wanted to hear them.
Acuti accostamenti di parole escogitati per dar titolo a ogni singolo brano - chiamando in causa Putin, Netanyahu, Meloni, Erdogan, Bolsonaro, Xin Pin, el-Assad, Kim Jong-un - e oblique strategie musicali per implicare Can, Nino Ferrer, Françoise Hardy, Frank Zappa, The Residents (soprattutto Eskimo), Robert Wyatt (con Matching Mole e Soft Machine in loop) nelle trame di un gioco volto a disvelare il torto marcio di autocrazie e dittature: Denis Tagu (Tagubu) e Christophe Petchanatz (Klimperei), con massima rabbia: Dis qu’t’as tort.
Dis qu’t’as tort is the new project from Tagubu, in collaboration with Klimperei. This album was created as a reaction against current and rising autocracies and dictatorships, in a world that is not merely transitioning but rather derailing. In French, "Dis qu’tas tort" phonetically resembles "Dictator", but actually means "Admit you are wrong". This is an oxymoron, as a dictator would never admit being wrong. This anger is expressed through instrumental tracks - no lyrics or speech are needed to unleash the message. Chaotic drumming, electronic sounds from vintage synthesizers, distorted guitars, and broken structures are more than enough to convey the sentiment. It’s like spitting out disgust - an outcry from humans trapped in the madness imposed by a small number of inhumane rulers.
