Sisters Of Mercy
Interview with Sierra & Bianca Casady
With their first album, La Maison De Mon
Rêve, sisters Bianca and Sierra Casady captured
the imagination of many without even wanting it. The
album was recorded in a bath tub in Sierra’s Parisian
flat, and, thanks to its fragile atmospheres, beautifully
crafter melodies and car-boot sale instrumentation,
proved a wonderful collection of accidental pop songs.
This collaboration is however far from being just a
lucky accident, as the pair’s second opus, Noah’s
Ark, released in a few weeks time, proves. We took
the opportunity of the sisters being in London for a
few days to meet up with them in the bar of their Hyde
Park hotel to talk about everything from growing up
separated to religion.
SCANNER
A Sound Philosophy
Interview with Robin Rimbaud
Scanner’s Robin Rimbaud has been one
an important figures of electronic music for the last
fifteen years. With a body of work that covers far more
and reaches far beyond that of the majority of his contemporaries,
he continues to face us with everyday sounds and noises,
revealing them under their least obvious angles. We
caught up with the man as Swim~ are releasing an album
by Githead, a project set up with members of Wire and
Minimal Compact. An extremely busy and in demand musician,
with many projects currently on the go, Robin Rimbaud
nevertheless took the time to stop and tell us about
his career, his vision and his projects.
