Martial canterel :: you today (wierd), more in reviews:.

MacBride’s music is attached to a specific synthwave sound, echoing the burgeoning analogue movement in the early 80’s. Across the album each track builds on the last, with the listener being transported deeper and deeper into the synth rich city of Martial Canterel.

[ Listen | Purchase ] The new year brings more synth delights. This time from Brooklyn’s very own groundbreaking Wierd Records . If you have an inclination towards analogue machines, synth wave, minimal pop and new beat then you’re at home. Weird love the past but display this affection through contemporary artists, producing inspiring pieces of modern day cold wave and minimal electronics. Artists like Led Er Est, Frank (just Frank), Automelodi as well as Xeno & Oaklander call this imprint home. It is the latter that we’re turning our attention to here. When Sean MacBride, the synthesizer virtuso of husband and wife couple Xeno & Oaklander, does his solo bit he records under Martial Canterel. Mr MacBride has released a number of limited albums under this nom de plume, but has been quiet since 2008. Now, Martial Canterel is back with two 7”s and and an LP for your listening pleasure.

“You Today” which features on the LP, is a joyously playful piece of synth pop. In some ways the composition is reminiscent to “Windscreen,” but the break introduces the listener into a new creature. “Champion” opens with Chariot’s of Fire style reverberations before flourishing into a fully fledged piece of dark and playful synthwave; a rare instrumental track. For those of the digital persuasion there is an extra treat with “We’ll See.”

The new LP opens with the future shock shoe gaze flurry of “Occupy These Terms.” The track drives fast across a deserted synth scape, with MacBride’s vocals helping to brake the ever accelerating analogue lines. The opener sets the tone. The tracks are fueled minimal synth. Beats are high and the synthlines catchy and packed. But, their raw energy is reigned in and harnessed to produce a powerful and reflective combination. “Sidestreets” sees MacBride take his foot off the gas for a warm and harmonious synth lament. The tempo drops further for “Empty Sands” as Martial Canterel enters concrete caissons of melodious melancholy. His sound throws up memories of John Foxx, his style and sound shifting within set parameters. MacBride exits the tunnel with the piston’s thumping as “Still a Part” speeds past in a neon synthesizer scream. In some ways MacBride has a similar synth sound to Solvent or even some Skanfrom material, but he adds a certain chill to the analogue warmth to produce something else; as in “Secret Stores.” The structure of the tracks seems aching simple which masks their complexity, as in “Don’t Let Me Go” and “Playfair.” The brief “For Us” brings the album to a close.

“Occupy These Terms” is offered up in 7” format too. Alongside this fiery piece is “The Case,” a clean and coursing track. The synths are simple and powerful with MacBride’s vocals running parallel to the toe tapping pace.

MacBride’s music is attached to a specific synthwave sound, echoing the burgeoning analogue movement in the early 80’s. Across the album each track builds on the last, with the listener being transported deeper and deeper into the synth rich city of Martial Canterel. The singles add further fuel to the engine. These are some of the best minimal synth releases I have heard in recent years; bracingly simple and absolutely superb .

You Today is out now on Wierd . [ Listen | Purchase ]

Martial Canterel – Shacklewell Arms Gig Review

Despite finding more success as one half of the marginally more polished sounding Xeno & Oaklander, Martial Canterel – the trochaic alter-ego of Brooklyn adoptee Sean McBride – antedates the former by about two years. McBride didn’t even meet Liz Wendelbo, Xeno & Oaklander’s other half, until 2004, while the first Martial Canterel performance was in 2002. As I’m sitting listening to a Spotify queue alternating each artist, they are at once unified and completely different. The synth sounds are quite similar; both projects are danceable. Yet Canterel’s tunes are more restless and more anxious, which is an accomplishment given the anxiety and restlessness of Xeno & Oaklander. (It’s difficult to resist the urge to describe Canterel as ‘icy’ or ‘cold’.) Drum machines and square analogue synth textures play under McBride’s ghostly vocals, which are heavily indebted to Ian Curtis.

Canterel’s performance at the Shacklewell Arms was quite the intrigue: if you’ve been in the business for 20 years and you’re playing a venue this small yet that infamous, you’re either an utter flop or something of a legend. Fortunately, he is the latter. McBride steered quite clear of the broad appeal, stomping 125bpm, and instead charged ahead at a higher tempo. For this reason, the setlist was vaguely less trendy than Xeno & Oaklander’s sound (or does that just make it cooler?).

Instantly, two sets from aeons past appeared in my mind: John Maus in 2016 and Molchat Doma in February 2020, mere weeks before lockdowns struck the United Kingdom. While there are parallels between all these artists, this was felt more in the crowd than in the show. There is a kind of righteous physical movement in response to this high-tempo, high-energy music. It’s a bit too fast to ‘vibe’ to, but not so fast you can’t just instinctively move. The intensity of such a natural reaction is impressive when juxtaposed with such relatively artificial sounds. Indeed, Canterel himself was hunched over a small desk of synths and switches. But he had his own kinds of dance moves. In a metaphorical, rather than literal, sense, they were like someone being restrained fighting desperately against their restriction. In place of actual restraint was his desk, which demanded his constant focus. But in spite of this McBride rocked back and forth with the beat to what degree he could.

Martial Canterel is anything but a flop. We lucky few who were there had a ball. And no one half-assed it, which is more than what can be said for many a show. I’m curious to see how this will translate when, or if, the synth-smith moves to larger venues. It’s certainly within his remit, but I can’t say with certainty if it’s the aim.

Who decides what we like? How do they construct widely held beliefs about what is good? These are two of the questions Cian looks to address.

Martial Canterel

About martial canterel.

Martial Canterel is the solo project of Brooklyn-based musician Sean McBride (who also performs as half of the duo Xeno & Oaklander). He began under the moniker Moravagine before he started releasing limited edition cassettes and playing Brooklyn dives as Martial Canterel in 2002. Crafting his electronic sound in a peculiar intersection between avant-garde and pop, Martial Canterel merges the influences of the first wave of relatively unknown minimal electronic bands from northern Europe with seminal industrial noise bands such as Throbbing Gristle and SPK while simultaneously giving nods to the smoothly stylish song craft of early British New Wave. Martial Canterel records and performs using analogue synthesizers, sequencers, and drum machines exclusively, providing a visceral kick best felt on the dance floor, amidst a flurry of flesh in motion. The mastery of his composition technique, along with a unique talent for melodies, and coupled with vocals and lyrics that reflect the pitfalls and pleasures of our age, McBride produces gems of extreme noise pop, making use of all its unexpected ingredients.
