About Chad Parks and the Near Death Experience
Author of his own crack, gathering/dragging out rhyme and sounds among the most untamed and joggled of this planet. In clandestine workhouses of Brooklyn, stitching together his sonic patchwork (Freylekhs ruined by Noire, Adulterated Polkas drunk with Bat-Cave Swing, Kasbek-Krakowiak-Bluegrass ripped-up for Coarse Tangos, tattered Waltzes hoarse and swerving from way too much Vinho Verde, Psychotic Klezmers turned Golem-Punk on wild beat posts) after submitting them to the demanding gazes of his chiseled experts of the taraf (the aptly named Bill Pace & Benjahman Ironside, supported on distorted occasions by Guy 'Half Sexy Butcher' Incognito)... This is Mr. Parks and his Big Cat Cossacks, magnifying rhythmatics dancing on all terrain. Re: Alchemy and Pigment Search, Tints of Origin, the Near Death Experience is not World Music for Orientalist-Neo-Colonial Pillagers, it's a laboratory. It's beautiful handiwork. And to discover what the man is capable of...a wildly inspired outpouring...all you have to do is open you ears and simply put them to the wonderful, rough urbane opening track "Glad Divine". The groove-beast maculate white-trash instantly settles (let's thank Elyas Khan 's dervish accented qaawali solo …) in our flesh and feelings. You'll find clearly that on only rare occasions since Tom Waits, the Bad Seeds, Captain Beefheart, and possibly Boxcar Satan, Lounge Lizards, Tex Napalm, Spencer P. Jones or Hugo Race, was experienced in this dark story of rock, something so reproductive, kicked about, physical, carnivorous, virile and reptilian. - Merle Leonce Bone
