Detroit was the perfect location for Crime & the City Solution to record their first album in 22 years. They couldn't have been framed by a better metaphor than setting up in a city consumed with the fight -- often against itself -- for survival. Founder, lead vocalist, and lyricist Simon Bonney is joined by longtime collaborators violinist Bronwyn Adams and guitarist Alexander Hacke. They are accompanied by drummer Jim White (Dirty Three), David Eugene Edwards (16 Horsepower, Woven Hand), visual artist Danielle DePicciotto, and Detroit natives Matthew Smith (Outrageous Cherry) on keyboards, and Troy Gregory (Witches, Dirtbombs) on bass. Everybody sings. Co-produced with the Motor City's Dave Feeny, American Twilight retains C&CS's trademark senses of cinematic drama and dynamics, but the sound is meatier, denser, and grimier, and Adams' violin has a much more prominent role than it has in the past (a real plus). "Riven Man" is a sonic collision of basic Detroit rock and expansive Motor City funk (courtesy of Gregory's bassline, Smith's horn sounds, and the urgent backing chorus). Bonney's deep baritone retains its authoritative power, alternately growling and plaintively singing. In "Goddess," with its charging guitars (one can hear traces of the riff from Grand Funk's "We're an American Band" crossed with the dirty-assed strut of the Stooges; the irony is no doubt intentional -- and it works), rumbling bass, and tom-toms, Bonney offers an urgent homage to the Divine Feminine; it's underscored by the entire band as a backing chorus. Bonney expresses both reverence and longing in "Domina," a spiritual waltz combining gospel hymnody, country, and wide-open, labyrinthine, rockist drones driven by Adams, White, and Hacke's slide guitars. "The Colonel (Doesn't Call Anymore)" combines C&CS's iconic, shapeshifting sense of the epic with droning, swirling blues and stormy post-psych rock. Despite its musical urgency, "My Love Takes Me There" is a testament to its subject's transcendent power. Its jagged theatrical guitars contrast beautifully with Smith's mariachi horns, and Bonney's voice articulates it all with conviction and aplomb. "Beyond Good and Evil" is Gothic country music infused with a heartbreaking tenderness. The title track's relentlessly unhinged rock & roll is framed lyrically as an admonition of warning as the threat of darkness approaches. Though Bonney poetically offers observations around the notion that "Armageddon is coming in the city of fun" and accepts it, his vocal holds an unwavering faith for the survival of those who dare to love and hope in enduring it. This makes his urgent delivery the voice of sanity in the ensuing musical maelstrom. American Twilight is more than just a triumphant comeback by C&CS -- who were not fully appreciated for their uniqueness the first time around -- it is a literate, sprawling, bruising rock & roll record that convincingly addresses the crises we face -- cultural, spiritual, integral -- and the choices we make. What could be more necessary? ~ Thom Jurek

商品の紹介

1977年にシンガー・ソングライターのサイモン・ボニーによって、オーストラリアはメルボルンで結成されたロック・バンド、クライム&ザ・シティ・ソリューション。これまでに幾度かのメンバー・チェンジを経て、現在ではサイモン・ボニー(ヴォーカル)、ブロンウィン・アダムス(ヴァイオリン)、アレクサンダー・ハッカー(ギター)、そしてヴジュアル・アーティストのダニエル・ピッチョート、ジム・ホワイト(ドラムス)、デヴィッド・ユージン・エドワーズ(ギター)、トロイ・グレゴリー(ベース)、そしてマシュー・スミス(キーボード)が固定メンバーとなっている。1984年にUKに、1987年にはベルリンに活動の拠点を移し、1993年にリリースしたライヴ・アルバム『The Adversary - Live』を最後に活動が途絶えていた彼らだが、ここへきて、なんと20年ぶりの新作リリースを2013年頭に行なうことが発表となった。併せて、こちらも20年ぶりとなるライヴ・ツアーを今年10月にアメリカとヨーロッパで実施するという。そしてこれらに先駆け、アーティスト自身が選曲を行なうことを特徴とした、所属レーベルMUTEのシリーズものコンピレーション・アルバム『An Introduction To…』の一環として、クライム&ザ・シティ・ソリューションが、『A History Of Crime - Berlin 1987-1991』を去る9月に発売。同作には、ベルリン時代に発表された3枚のアルバム『Shine』(1988)、『The Bride Ship』(1989)、そして『Paradise Discotheque』(1990)からセレクトされた楽曲に、バンドの最後の曲となった、1991年の映画『Until The End Of The World』の主題歌でもある「The Adversary」を収録。そしていよいよ発表された20年ぶりの新作『アメリカン・トワイライト』。全8曲を収録した今作は、彼らの旧作と変わらない持ち味が発揮されており、バンドは今作を次のように表している。「我々は、悲観論者や否定論者によって信念を失ってはいけない。なぜなら愛と希望なしでは、未来など存在しないからだ」。
