Post-Punk Roots Rockers Rip It Up And Start Again<\/p>\n
\u2018\u2018Mama Rosin are a rare band that combine familiar influences in subtle and striking ways to achieve a wholly unique and very personal form of music\u2019\u2019 – Jon Spencer<\/p>\n
Long celebrated as a seminal live band, Mama Rosin\u2019s unique vision – Louisiana swamp grooves meet New York\u2019s CBGB white heat\/white noise! \u2013 found legendary American rocker Jon Spencer embracing the band. Matching Mama Rosin with Jon Spencer proved a marriage made in rock\u2019n\u2019roll heaven: rich in texture and flavour, Bye Bye Bayou stands tall as 2012\u2019s most uncompromising album. <\/p>\n
Jon Spencer started out as guitarist in NY punk Pussy Galore and is leader of leftfield Americana bands Blues Explosion, Boss Hog, Heavy Trash. As a producer he has helmed definitive albums by \u201cpunk rock blues\u201d veterans\u2019 RL Burnside and Andre Williams.
\nMama Rosin first encountered Spencer when they opened several European shows for Blues Explosion. He then invited them to record at Hed Analog Studio in New York City. Across eight days Mama Rosin recorded take after take with Spencer insisting the band kick out the jams. Shattered from playing to their utmost abilities the band would then be instructed by Spencer to overdub while he mixed so splintering each song\u2019s sonic texture. The result is Bye Bye Bayou, an album that rips up the rulebook on how to play punk and Cajun. <\/p>\n
Bye Bye Bayou is Mama Rosin\u2019s breakthrough album: here the Swiss trio create a sound unlike any other band on earth. This is rock\u2019n\u2019roll at its most primal, warped and obsessive, where Lower East Side hustlers go alligator hunting. Put simply: Bye Bye Bayou is bad-ass. <\/p>\n
Mama Rosin on recording with Jon Spencer: \u201cIn the studio Jon pushed us. He is a music encyclopedia and a fantastic musician. Jon and Matt Verta-Ray played on some songs, spontaneous contributions, wild stuff. Recording with Jon was the best eight days of our lives!\u201d <\/p>\n
Mama Rosin on Bye Bye Bayou\u2019s title: \u201cWe feel that, to some degree, Bye Bye Bayou reflects the way our music has been evolving, we have outgrown our Cajun\/zydeco roots.
\nMama Rosin on Bye Bye Bayou\u2019s songs: \u201cThe 13 songs are originals except for a version of the old blues tune \u2018Sittin\u2019 On Top Of The World\u2019 which we reinvent and sing in French (\u2018Assis Sur Le Sommet Du Monde\u2019)\u201d <\/p>\n
