dälek (Die-a-leck). Далеками назывались диковинные роботы-инопланетяне из значимого английского телесериала «Doctor Who» – и два хмурых человека из города Нью-Джерси, конечно, выбрали себе это имя не без умысла. dälek – это собственно человек по имени Далек (постарайтесь не запутаться) и человек по имени Октопус; первый отвечает за слова и интонации, второй – за звук; вместе они делают тяжелый, ползучий индустриальный хип-хоп. Отметки в резюме говорят за себя (записывались с великой группой Faust, числятся постоянными почетными клиентами лейбла Майка Паттона Ipecac), и собственно песни подтверждают предположения: они сумрачны и резки, мрачны и убедительны, с урбанистическими шумами и параноидальной лирикой.

Dälek has rightfully gained iconic status as one of the finest alt-hip hop bands of our time. Until recently resolutely “underground”, Dälek methodically undermines every idiotic idiom perpetuated by mainstream rap, choosing instead to blend assaultingly hypnotic rhymes with a corrosively atmospheric, electronica-inflected hard rock sensibility. Combine all this with an undeniable lyrical intelligence and absolutely no illusions about the world we live in and you’ve got a duo that effortlessly embraces genres--from hip hop to jazz, from jazz to metal, from metal to punk, from punk to noisecore, from noisecore back to hip hop. Think My Bloody Valentine + Tool + early Wu Tang combined with Massive Attack and Aphex Twin and you only begin to wrap your brain around what Dälek has unleashed with each album release, each collaboration, each remix…

Dälek’s first release, NEGRO NECRO NEKROS (Gern Blandsten 1998) was released to overwhelming critical acclaim, artfully combining elements of Faust, the rock grit of The Velvet Underground, shoegaze-like density of Ride, and electronica beats with incisively lyrical social commentary. Dälek's second album, FROM FILTHY TONGUE OF GODS AND GRIOTS (Ipecac Recordings 2002) established them firmly alongside hip-hop innovators such as the Antipop Consortium and cLOUDDEAD. Come 2004, Dälek released their dense and dread-filled album ABSENCE (Ipecac Recordings 2004), which brought them their broadest critical and public attention to date. Then, early this year, the band released what is perhaps their greatest work: the eloquent and brooding ABANDONED LANGUAGE (Ipecac Recordings 2007).

Для тех, кто не переносит хип-хоп, этот альбом может стать настоящим открытием: НЕпафосный (честно!) речитатив, плотный индастриал, нойзовая приправа (приятная уху, совсем не режет) и МУЗЫКА, а не просто биты. Да, ещё альбом атмосферный(!) и по-настоящему мрачный (чего вообще с хип-хопом я и представить не мог). Теперь, по иронии, данный хип-хоповый альбом входит в мою 10-ку любимых. Может, кому-то показателем будет то, что он по большей части приходится по душе экспериментальщикам и вообще не-хипстерам, чем предполагаемой публике.
Есть ещё альбом 2007-го - кому понравится этот, выложу. Там на порядок меньше нойза (очень мало), поэтому он не такой плотный и по звуку, и по атмосфере, но всё равно классный. Плюс имеется сборник того же 2007-го, на котором есть несколько вкусных треков.
Творчество до 2004-го и после 2007-го больше подойдёт любителям обычного хип-хопа. Альбом 2009-го - эдакая смесь предыдущих двух с креном в традиционный хип-хоп, а первые два даже не помню, как звучат - совсем недолго их слушал до удаления)).

     Gutter Tactics

     “I think we’re moving forward further and further into the
     back of our minds,” reflects producer okt0pus, one half of
     hip-hop duo dälek (pronounced dial-ekt). With the group’s
     fifth album, Gutter Tactics, dälek has closely packed
     intensity with consistency, rallying banks of saturated grit
     over the fractured insistence of New Jersey’s boom-bap bricks.

     “Our debut EP Negro Necro Nekros and From Filthy Tongue of
     Gods and Griots were about us starting out, sometimes getting
     sounds more than songs,” says okt0pus. “Absence was the book
     on how extreme you could go. Abandoned Language had more
     ambient moments, and was the end of that chapter of writing it
     all either heavy or mellow. Gutter Tactics is more us
     continually doing some early hip-hop shit but with the
     attitude of the Melvins or Black Sabbath.”

     Not that dälek has ever been anything but hip-hop, even as the
     group claims contemporaries from Techno Animal to Mobb Deep,
     Kevin Martin’s the Bug to Isis. A group whose intense lyrics
     would clear the air even as its sonic density threatened to
     clear the room, dälek has spent a decade-plus voraciously
     consuming leftfield influences and spitting out sonic
     altercations that have seen the group garner tremendous
     European support even as dälek stays true to its members’ East
     Coast origins.

     “I’ve always just said that it’s hip-hop, because that’s my
     culture - everything I do is hip-hop,” says dälek, the group’s
     namesake MC. “And more than that it’s a philosophy on how
     music is made, it’s the philosophy of diggin’ through crates
     to find sounds you make your own regardless of genre. Afrika
     Bambaataa sampled Kraftwerk, while we draw on the essence of
     Faust, or My Bloody Valentine...”

     For Gutter Tactics, however, dälek drew from more than just a
     cultural, spiritual and philosophical home. Having spent the
     last two years building a commercial studio by hand, the group
     similarly constructed Gutter Tactics from the ground up on
     newly minted home turf, surrounded by patch bays of analog and
     digital means located just outside the Lincoln Tunnel in Union
     City.

     “Since I started my ‘studio’ was always my bedroom, and now I
     live nine blocks away from the space,” says dälek. “There is
     no rolling out of bed and working on shit right there, but I
     like the fact that I need to motivate. I was always making
     beats constantly, but it’s nice to have that provision - 1000
     square feet of playground that inspires me to work even
     harder.”

     Once the beats were collected, okt0pus invited members of the
     group’s Deadverse massive into the studio, laying down sample
     banks of ghosting tones from musicians such as Destructo
     Swarmbots, recorded while tweaking effects live to erase any
     human performance element. Absence could be equated to a Glenn
     Branca aggregation of harmonic mêlées and atonality pushed so
     far it verges on pop, and Abandoned Language approached a
     British-style hypnotism of encompassing more than overly
     aggravated passages. The 11 tracks of Gutter Tactics, however,
     work off the immediate grid, lyrics and loops informed by
     arena-ready dynamics and electronic addling. The sound marches
     forward even as it pays tribute to a time when Gang Starr fans
     wore Bad Brains t-shirts and the Bomb Squad could make Slayer
     seem childish.

     Old school compression tricks were then used to slam the shit
     out of signals, driving things into the red, getting sludge to
     keep it from being empty, soulless, overly focused. “I’d
     rather have that David Lynch lighting - shadowy,
     claustrophobic, but shoved with detail,” says okt0pus.

     “This album isn’t pummeling you, though,” observes okt0pus.
     “It’s got that heavy, but it takes a few listens to realize
     just how substantial it is. We were guilty in the beginning of
     having everything so focused and compressed, and this record
     shows you can still be loud and retain the room dimensions
     that make records really great to hear.”

     Lyrically, the socio-politically minded Gutter Tactics is
     equally measured and insurgent. “I don’t make records for
     shock value ... this is a collection of who I am at this point
     and what I see around me, so it’s a dark album, full of anger,
     maybe some fear, and also hope. It’s the state of the world
     where I, where we are at right now. I just think in America
     it’s not always as safe to speak truth anymore. So, while our
     music may be abstract, I want the thought process to be more
     straightforward.

     “Except maybe this album’s title,” concludes dälek. “Instead
     of having an absolute meaning the title ‘Gutter Tactics’ is
     about the overall feel. It’s an album that’s raw, heavy, but
     full of clarity.”

Очень и очень прикольно после первого прослушивания. Кстати, периодически вспоминаются Трики и Портисхед.
