Se i classici si trastullano agitandosi tra il proprio passato e un presente ormai negato, \u00e8 la nuova generazione cresciuta tra psichedelia e hardcore a prenderne il testimone. Senza indugiare tanto sulla quotidianit\u00e0, esplorando piuttosto sentieri interiori, ricordi d&#8217;infanzia (vissuta?), disillusione, una Natura misteriosa e possente. \u00c8 il caso di <strong>Alexander Tucker<\/strong>, folk singer del Kent (paradossale?) che ha realizzato con &#8220;Portal&#8221; uno dei dischi cardine del 2008. Un vero capolavoro.<\/p>\n<p>Un album denso di suggestioni che vanno da Occidente a Oriente, evitando con accuratezza manierismi e bolsi mantra domestici. La sua \u00e8 una forma canzone lunare, polverosa, che distrugge i canovacci della ballata intimista con un&#8217;incisivit\u00e0 eccentrica. Melodie tese e struggenti bilanciano il costante finger picking e i drones della chitarra elettrica, supportati da esili percussioni e effetti sottili e stordenti. Dopo l&#8217;esordio omonimo del 2003, &#8220;Old Fog&#8221; (2005) e &#8220;Furrowed Brow&#8221; (2006), questo lavoro suggella un percorso che parte da lontano, dagli esordi punk con i Suction, passando per il post rock degli Unhome e le collaborazioni con Jackie-O Motherfucker e Stephen O&#8217;Malley (sunn O))), Khanate).<\/p>\n<p>Un andamento irregolare come la sua chitarra, in linea con gli avamposti folk freak dei vari Earth, Tom Carter e Rick Tomlinson. I brani di &#8220;Portal&#8221; scorrono suggestivi e anarchici, emoziona(n)ti e disturbanti. La bellezza suadente di &#8220;Poltergeists Grazing&#8221;, &#8220;Veins to the Sky&#8221;, &#8220;Husks&#8221; e &#8220;Another World&#8221; marchia in modo indelebile; &#8220;Omnibaron&#8221; infonde d&#8217;elettricit\u00e0 l&#8217;atmosfera, resa satura dal minimalismo lisergico di &#8220;Energy for Dead Plants&#8221;. &#8220;Bell Jars&#8221; ritorna all&#8217;afflato gaelico di certi Led Zeppelin, &#8220;Here&#8221; chiude il cerchio con una sacralit\u00e0 che sa di rituale.<\/p>\n<p>Memore di Johnny Cash e Tim Buckley pi\u00f9 che debitore delle nuove tendenze stile Devendra Banhart, Tucker si posiziona su una scura linea di confine. Tracciata a suo tempo da Incredible String Band, David Crosby, Terry Riley e John Martyn, battuta poi da Black Heart Procession, Six Organs of Admittance e Bardo Pond. Insomma, epitome e ribaltamento critico della folk music made in Usa.<\/p>\n<p>Alessandro Zoppo<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bruciano le polveri del folk.
