115: The Heliocentrics // Infinity of Now
Tumblr media
Infinity of Now The Heliocentrics 2020, Madlib Invazion (Bandcamp)
Music increasingly eats its own tail—I read a review that (correctly) notes how the Heliocentrics’ sound feels like the raw material for RZA beats, only this stuff has already been run through a RZA filter, pre-darkened and pre-chopped for ya. A jazzed up Portishead was the act that I first thought of, for the brooding grooves, cinematic dust, and singer Barbara Patkova’s nightshift chanteuse vocal stylings. Whatever comparison you personally choose to assign to them, the pleasures of the Heliocentrics are in how they fuse (rather than synthesize) a bunch of cool influences (some Afrobeat here, some Beat Konducta there) into throbbing, protean jams. It’s music I could imagine being played by some hideous, sunglasses-wearing ifrit with too many limbs in a jazz club in hell.

I snagged Infinity of Now on a clerk’s recommendation, and haven’t listened to anything else by the band, so I can’t speak to how it stacks up to the rest of their catalogue. On its own merits it is a supremely vibey piece of work that seldom loses the listener despite wandering down many garden paths. Even for extraordinarily gifted players, as these guys are, that’s no small accomplishment: it’s easy for self-consciously retro-cool stuff like this to start wafting top notes of premium light beer commercial electroswing. I think I’m most partial to “Venom,” a bass-led creep that keeps teasing a complete loss of structural integrity before it manages (just) to not.

"oh so you're spiritual but not religious" no actually I am deeply religious in alarmingly carnal and esoteric ways. If you even care.

Absolutely criminal that nobody told me that Sherlock Holmes canonically doesn't know how the sun works.

I never see this line mentioned with other funny ones from Pentiment but it is. My favorite.

Flashback to 2019 when i was entertaining myself by figuring out how gravity falls (the cartoon) worked entirely via secondary sources (this is fun for me) ((i knew it was a kids' cartoon with probably no major canonical romances so i could stick to genfic, which helps enormously when trying to sieve for canon and not get suckered into elaborate parallel realities))
and the bit where i got briefly bogged down in how clearly we (the audience) ((not actually we i'm not in that category am i now)) received almost 0 information about the third Pines sibling from the grunkle generation, who logically had to exist to produce descendants (the main characters of the show), but how odd it was that almost everyone I'd seen register an opinion agreed on the basis of what really seemed to be None Data that it must be a brother, who'd had a son, and the one dissenter had given their Grandma Shermie OC an elaborate angsty backstory for no apparent reason.......
....and then i remembered the patriarchy is a thing. And that because of it, if they all had the same surname, it was very likely they were linked by bonds of agnatic kinship. Because that's how my own goddamn civilization works.
Whoops! Fancy forgetting a thing like that! 😂
