To Eleven reviews "CII: Second Son" by 17 Pygmies

Jayson from To Eleven blog posts an insightful review of 17 Pygmies' latest release "CII: Second Son"

About To Eleven:

"… To Eleven is a music blog written by two men with roughly the same name who love music, just almost none of the same music.

Jason is a writer. He lives in the ghetto. He enjoys The Mountain Goats, surf, twee and a lot of indie rock crap.

Jayson is a commercial artist. He lives in the woods. He enjoys metal, alt country, Kool Keith and a lot of noisy crap.

We are named what we’re named because we really wanted to start this and couldn’t think of anything better.

If it seems like we mostly like everything we review, it’s because we choose to review everything we mostly like."

CII: Second Son by 17 Pygmies reviewed by Darby's Chronics


French blogger Darby Mullins has posted a review of 17 Pygmies' "CII: Second Son" on Darby's Chronics

"All music can be defined as a noise, formed by a code (that is to say according to layout rules and laws of succession within a limited space of sound). Listening to music is to receive a message.

I think that's 17 Pygmies are not lost in the space. We feel the absolute control in the shape of the sound, where all is organised. Actually "CII: Second Son" is like the spacecraft itself.
Soundtracks without film . Vanishing images in a glowing halo. Ballads at the border of the kitsch, harmony near an ugly and terrible hole, exploding under the powerfull leitmotivs of this record.

"I draw a circle in the sand
I think that's the way we'll go
I think that we're goin' home"

The combinatorics is the art or science to exhaust the possible. Use a leitmotiv is a attempt to exhaustion.
Go and repeat the same tones,colors, shapes and words to make everything different. Fiction fucks reality, we're still here."
