Siamese Dream (Team)
Theatrical and eccentric stuff from the Belgian duo of arch outsider Dennis Tyfus and percussionist Jeroen Stevens. One for fans of Ghédalia Tazartès and we don't say that lightly...
If you've spent any amount of time poking around the Belgian experimental world, you should have come across Dennis Tyfus. Based in Antwerp, the influential illustrator heads up Ultra Eczema, the legendary label that released classic plates from artists like Hair Police, Chris Corsano and Bill Orcutt, among many, many others. Each disc adorned with some of the best album art we've encountered, betraying Tyfus's wicked sense of humor and aesthetic mores. As Jeugdbrand, Tyfus approaches his music with the same mentality and resolve, chopping up phrases and vocalizations to express pure emotion rather than anything resembling coherent thought. He's met musically by Stevens' uncanny accompaniments made from drums, concert bells, organs and other soundmaking devices, dramatic passages of sound that capture a level of intensity that's surprisingly minimal.
'We mogen het toch vragen?' is unashamedly ragged, twisting Jandek's freeform expression with Ghédalia Tazartès' wild vocalizing. Tyfus is on peak form here, gasping and wailing as if he's completely isolated from view, while Stevens haphazardly stamps organ flutters over slow-moving sustained drones. It'd be easy to suggest a connection to South Asian musics but that's too obvious somehow - if Tyfus and Stevens are making a conscious reference, it's to parody its application in contemporary experimental music. 'Do you want to move in with all of us' is more ghostly and batshit, with deranged whistles, banged up piano and peculiar glockenspiel twinkles forming illusory walls around Tyfus's haunted house shtick. It all builds up to 'We hadden het haar al eens gezegd?' that sounds something a like a childrens' song played by an art brut school band fronted by the Judderman from the banned Metz advert. Think that was an obscure reference? Try listening to this.
