Fioc(c)a? Nevica? Magari con questa estate soffocante ce ne fosse da chiederselo. Membri ex di Bellicosi, Kirsch, e altre venture dell'hc canavese anni 90, formano a 4 gli Isobel, - ma ma ma prima di recensire questo gioiellino c'è qui c'è da fare una parentesi storica sul termine Emo. Emo non è l'emo di oggi come d'altronde il punk modaiolo da boyband di mtv non è Punk. Emo non è assolutamente le stronzate di questo articolo apparso sul corrieredellasera (grazie Sté) o i finley che fra un anno saranno scomparsi. Emocore stava ad esempio per emotional hardcore, e una delle prime volte che una cara amica
me ne parlò, al mio punto interrogativo rispose dicendo che per lei emo
era emoglobina, aveva a che fare col sangue oltre che con l'emozione.
Gruppi come Fugazi, Sunny Day Real Estate, rappresentavano meglio le polarità hc ed emo, sino poi al salto mainstream dei Jimmy Eat World.
Insomma, appena qualcosa viene inghiottito dalla massa, as usual,
diventa una capigliatura, un abbigliamento alla moda, e una decina di
piercing, - e della radice niente più. Su wikipedia c'è la descrizione di 3 ondate emo, praticamente tre generazioni, - interessante, opinabile, ma interessante. - Tornando a Fioca?, - segue all'esordio omonimo su vinile 7" dello scorso anno, ora coprodotto con FoolTribe (vedi perle quali Redworms' Farm, Bob Corn). In un quarto d'ora il termine emo
meglio si giustifica con quell'insoddisfatto continuo tiro veloce dei
lirismi e percussioni mitragliate, con il salire di pathos delle
chitarre quasi stile primi Motorpsycho (senti che cavalcata fa la disperazione su Iihty)
e con il cantato di Antonella De Paola, sempre su un unico tono, quello
dello scontento, del disilluso, - anzi, mi correggo, della pagatezza
dell'essere disillusi, - tutto il disco è una corsa felice incontro
alla lucidità della malinconia. Ad esempio By-End, che ha la stessa impronta iniziale di Futurism vs Passeism dei Blonde Redhead,
spiega le ali per un'intera lunga fuga, a montare una tensione
post-punk valevole diversi repeat sul lettore, sfogata infine solo
dall'ultimo lontano innesto di voce di uno degli altri Isobel. - Un valevole tentativo di successo di bellezza emo, lontano dalla moda. [vedi sotto per gli mp3]

Fioc(c)a? that is, Is it snowing? - Oh dear, i'd love to ask something like that in this hot suffocating summertime. Former members of Bellicosi, Kirsch, and other indie north italian hc Bands from 90s are the 4 pieces core of Isobel, - but but but, before i go and review this little jewel release, let me open a brief hystorical parenthesis about what Emo means (form me). Today emo of mtv boybands (as well the so-called punk wannabes) has nothing to see with its origins. Emo is absolutely not a whateverwhoever myspace eyeliner teen group with 100thousand friends/contacts. In origins Emocore was for emotional hardcore, and when a dear friend of mine answered to my question, She talked of something between haemoglobin and emotions. Bands as Fugazi, Sunny Day Real Estate best represented for me the two coordinates between polarity of hc and emo, until the mainstream jump of Jimmy Eat World. I mean, as usual, as something becomes more popular and then for the masses, mainstream machines swallow it and turn the moniker in odd hairstyle, fashion, a bunch of piercings, - and You can forget of the real roots. Ok, so fucking what, I know that, and You know that, - and that's what is important. At wikipedia it's written about three emo waves, principally coinciding with three generations. Ok, it's moot point, btw it is of interest. Now, - Isobel's Fioca? follows to the former self-titled 7", now co-released with FoolTribe rec (see gems as Redworms' Farm, Bob Corn). In little less that 15 minutes, the word emo best recalls its origins with that continuous dissatisfied drift away, runned fast, through the lyrism and strong drumming over the guitars pathos often dear to early Motorpsycho (listen how Desperation rides on with Iihty), and where Antonella De Paola's vocals are always over an undiscussed sad tone, - like imprisioned in one's own skin, - or best, like the paid happyness of glum's certainty, - and all the whole ep is on this wave, like a 15minutes getaway to the lucidity. - Like By-End, track with a initial riff soul dear to Blonde Redhead's Futurism vs Passeism: it mounts a long post-punk tension worthy more and more playback, barely finding an end with the far background male vocals of someother of Isobel's. A valiant and successful attempt of emo beauty, far from vogue.
