Thé We Are The World isn't the unbelievably lame charity-song of Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, recently remade by some "great" artists like Justin-I wanna be black-Bieber for Haiti.
Thé We Are The World is an Über-cool experimental electro-band from L.A.
Some months ago they released the extremely awesome track Clay Stones, with one of the best music-videos I've ever seen. Also the Turbotito remix of Clay Stones was superbe.
This month, on 6 April, their début album, also called Clay Stones, was finally released.
Clay Stones is full of dark and mysterious rhythms with many tribal influences and amazing beats.
The darkness reminds me of Fever Ray and also the artyness of this band is to good to be true.
However the album is 100 times wilder than Fever Ray. They use experimental electro to power up the very tense rhythms and vocals.
Somehow, this is fine track for a sort of arty horror-movie,...about drugs or so.
Anyhow this foursome convinced me of their genius talent.
Clay Stones begins with Foot Follows Foot (great title), a crescendo of tribal drums ends into a smooth beat and a very The Knife-like melody and vocals.
Fight Song is full of aggressive electro and freaky lyrics. Nice!
But the electro becomes even wilder in Afire, my ears almost can't follow the high-speed beats.
And also the rest of the songs are dark as hell and the weirdness of the electro sounds incredibly dangerous but in a very positive way.
We Are The World ends with a spooky Lord Have Ass, and that's it for their fantastic début album.
Although I'm not a huge fan of all the songs (by example Goya Monster is not a highlight) I'm still very much impressed.
Their gigs are said to be great too, they like to dress up and stuff. I hope I'll be able to see them one day!
Enjoy the wild dark world of WATW.
