the three tracks travel in many different directions. speaking directly to all the dreamers, the result is a surprising cross-over in which synthesized european music gets injected by imaginary tropical visions. the record is opening with the inner mind percussive ambient « chekema », an animistic incantation that will please all those who see parties as modern ritual gatherings. the jazzy wave of « get enough » cracks open the b-side. it’s a foggy street jam in which the cold cr-68 rhythm balances perfectly with the warm organ chords of the crumar. closing things off is the spectral reggae song “love so high”, a desperate cry from a polar explorer stranded on an iceberg drifting towards the carribean. heartbreaking.
der titel legt es schon nahe: >for now<, das zweite album des britischen 60s-retro-trios the bishops, ist eine art bestandsaufnahme. eine referenz an den moment, an das jetzt, das die gruppe aus london seit erscheinen ihres deb?talbums 2007 mit hunderten konzerten ausgiebig gelebt hat - u. a. als support f?r james blunt auf dessen europa-tour. so sind denn auch viele der songs von >for now< auf tour entstanden, aufgenommen wurden sie im sommer 2008 in london vom produzenten brian o?shaughnessey (primal scream, my bloody valentine). abgesehen von den klassischen dreimann-arrangements spielen the bishops auf >for now< auch mit ungewohnten instrumenten wie trompete, mundharmonika und klavier. rockig und im besten stil der kinks und fr?hen beatles ist das allemal, wie nummern wie >hold on<, >free to do what you want< und die erste single >city lights< beweisen. doch auch ein folksong wie >he was a friend of mine< schaffte es auf die platte.
