Rae Spoon and Alexandre Decoupigny : U Bahn MP3
To say I liked Rae Spoon’s Superioryouareinferior is an understatement. I loved that album and still currently listen to it every now and then. Anyway while reading some fellow blogs, specifically Canadian music blogging friends, Herohill and Quick Before It Melts posted this and while I have yet to hear the full release… Rae Spoon teamed up with German Alexandre Decoupigny an electronica artist to create something pretty cool. What Are You Waiting For? Or Worauf Wartest Du? is definitely an album on my to check out list.
Perhaps not far from Spoon’s work, Decoupigny and Spoon create music that builds off of Rae Spoon’s outworldly vocals while Decoupigny adds in subtleties with loops and soft yet effective sounds. Decoupigny adds in spoken word in German on this track. Sonically the track is really good even if it’s minimal, it just feels like music that works with Spoon rather then against him. Which in my opinion is important as music in the opposite direction takes over the vocals.
While I can’t understand any of the German, well I definitely don’t know what U Bahn is (U course according to Babelfish – I thought it could be a U turn? Or perhaps a U Road?) they both make it sound like a wonderful language. Good song.
U Bahn by Rae Spoon and Alexandre Decoupigny
Even though I don’t like Superioryouareinferior and Worauf Wartest Du? (but I still love his earlier releases) I can tell you what U Bahn means. U-Bahn means Untergrund-Bahn and you would call it underground railway or just subway.
