ORCHESTRE TOUT PUISSANT MARCEL - VINYL 7-ODD MARY [VINYL]

Popis - 7-ODD MARY [VINYL]:
OTPMD was created in November 2006 within Geneva's alternative culture. Famous underground club, the Cave 12 offered a "carte blanche" to the double-bassist Vincent Bertholet (Space Heads, Hum of Life). After some changes, the band solidified into a core line-up of double-bass, singing/violin (Liz Moscarola) and marimba (Anne Cardinaud). In 2009 they were joined by Seth Bennett from Bradford (trombone, ex-Headache), Maël Salètes from Lyon (guitar) and Wilf Plum from Brussels (drummer of the mythical Dog Faced Hermans, The Ex Orchestre). It is no coincidence that the band uses the name of the most famous surrealist. Like him, it is unconventional, mixing post punk, afro-beat, urban trance, tropicalism and experimental pop. Led by their extraordinary vocalist, the band captivates his audience with spasmodic noises and enlightened loss of control, in addition to surprising intimate and minimalist moments. The unusual instrumentation can unfold in squats as well as festivals, taking the audience to unknown lands and exotic, jubilating bazaars. Far from Dadaism, its name and dancing energy also come from legendary African orchestras OTP Konono No. 1, OTP Poly-Rythmo, le Tout Puissant OK Jazz...).
