Falling Angel

Dinky известна во всем мире как резидент Cocoon, участница фестивалей Sonar, Ten days off, Sonne Mond Stern и Mutek, хедлайнер крупных вечеринок в The End, Amnesia, Privilege и DC10. Трек Dinky «Acid in my Fridge» получил всемирное признание и в считанные дни сделал её уникальное звучание – в котором могут ужиться минимал и экспериментальное техно, ветхозаветный эйсид- и клик-хаус, фанк и соул – ориентиром для целой волны техно-артистов. Dinky – в составе команды Circo Loco; её боготворят в Италии и на Ибице.

The Chilean artist’s fifth album was three years in the making, during which time Dinky studied jazz, classical guitar and piano, and thought, presumably, about how she might create something more in the vein of the bands she lists as inspirations in the press sheet, such as Mazzy Star, Massive Attack, Cocteau Twins. In the end Dimension D is less grand, ambitious and emotionally draining than what those influences might suggest. The tone ranges from one of breezy, summery melancholy (akin to Ada’s Meine Zarten Pfoten) to the overcast dissatisfaction of Ellen Allien’s Dust.

Naturally, Dimension D borrows from the dance floor. Its tracks are underpinned with bumpy, computerised bass, texturally varied drums and Latinate percussion, all lifted straight from the post-minimal house music textbook. It doesn’t all work (“Heathrow” is a banal ambient reverie, “Measures” plays ineffectively with Japanese scales), but Dinky’s clear talent for song-structure, not to mention her apparent love for surf and chiming 4AD-style guitars, means that her indie-dance hybrid impresses. The limber “Xanex” purrs seductively, full of clever detail. “Blind” sashays and twirls, a winning excursion into jazzy, Latin electro. “Falling Angel,” however, is the track that is most likely to transcend Dimension D. Unfolding with an irresistible ease, it’s as cool as the Chromatics and, in its middle-eight, has a wonderfully sad guitar solo worthy of Electronic-era Johnny Marr. For Dinky, there is clearly life beyond the dance floor.

Alejandra Del Pilar Iglesias Rivera aka Dinky is a classically trained pianist and contemporary dancer. She came to Berlin a decade ago, after decamping from Santiago (Chile) by way of New York. Dimension D may be Dinky’s fifth long player, but it has the childlike innocence of someone who has just discovered their musical path. Co-produced by Matthew Styles, this album is truly a beauty to be hold and features Dinky’s own vocals. In some ways a world away from her dancefloor orientated material, it still features Dinky’s mesmeric soundscapes albeit in a more ‘folky’ setting. Highlights include the woozy Xanex, simply beautiful Fallen Angel and the jaw dropping Witches. Highly recommended.

チリ出身、ベルリンでDJ/ミュージシャンとして活動するDinkyことAlejandra Del Pilar Iglesias Rivera嬢。ミニマル・テクノを軸としながらもラテン的なパーカッション、ピアノ、そして効果的かつ印象的に鳴らされるメランコリックなギターを織り交ぜた、アナログな質感が温もりを与えるIDMです。

これまでのDinky嬢といえばデビュー当時の”Miss Dinky”名義だった頃からPost Minimal-House的な、広い意味でリスニングミュージック寄りだった。本作ではほぼ全編が歌ものとなり、曲調的には約半数がDowntempoでサラッとBGMにもできると同時に意識を研ぎ澄ませて聴くことで色々な音が発見できたりとマルチに楽しめる作品となっている。
