The new “RISing” for Hüsker Dü still shines at 40

After the pioneer in Hüsker Dü Zen ArcadeRelatively simplified A new day rises Equal parts of muscle and melody were presented as the band laid the basis for the future of alternative music.

Like their contemporaries, Minutemen or their before them, it can be said that Hüsker Dü was the best path for four years from any corrupt group ever. The clash has evolved greatly from their appearance (1977) to Sandysta! (1980), but in the early eighties of the last century, there was a different time for the evil gangs, and Hüsker Dü dealt with what became common in the scene. The trio, consisting of Bob Mold (the guitar/singing), Gregnon (Bass), and Grant Hart (drama player/singing), Zen Arcade (1984) (Some may argue in 1983 Metal EP) issued a handful of distinguished records in a short time, which effectively ended with Warehouse: songs and stories (1987).

The militants’ teams are famous for a release and release of albums in the fast caliphate. This technician allowed groups to develop leaps and limits. A lot has been made about the rapid shock pop work, such as Beach Boys, who have moved from early waves to identifying the profession Pets By the mid -sixties, or the Beatles, which developed from “I saw it standing there” to “tomorrow you never know” in a short period of time; However, the lights and pressure in the music industry created this pressure cook. The evil bands that must be followed by DIY, which can be likened to the shark swimming, embraced to survive.

The group that corresponds to the Ethics of Hüsker Dü was Minutemen. Hüsker Dü had a longer period than Minutemen due to the tragic death of D. Boon, but both teams were a signature on the sign of the South California in SST. Hüsker Dü move from St. Paul was an important part of the booming music scene now in twin cities, with teams such as replacement and soul asylum, but they became a well -known commodity on the coast thanks to their time in a tour of the west. Like selective and left intelligence men, Hüsker Dü remained a reality of their values ​​and a set of hard -line principles that have become derived.

This does not mean that Hüsker Dü was not without contradictions, as it can be obtained from the equal approach to the music industry in exchange for interior band disorders. When it comes to decisions, Hüsker Dü seemed happy to release the music that fans will hear on a tour (they often played music, unlike most of the today’s bands that follow a narrow schedule of version).

According to Michael Azrad Al -Mumtaz Our team can be your life: scenes from America Indie Underground 1981-1991Hüsker Dü postponed their sales album, which helped SST in the cash flow. It also pushed the poster shockingly Migrate corridorS The date of the release until it coincides with the classic of Minutemen Double nickel on Dim (1984). Yes, specific dual albums of the same type were released on the same date.

While everything was Kumbaya in their world, these decisions seem to be confusing from the point of view. Because of the timing of these two versions of the monster, the poster did not press many copies Zen Arcade It should be. Yes, Hüsker Dü was now in the high demand but he had no much to show it. Although they have achieved most of their money from roaming, the deferred royalties are no longer in combination (and it will be something that will restore it for years to come). The spirit of the underground scene was definitely refreshing compared to the dirt of the main stickers (to which Hüsker Dü will finally join Warner Bros.), but this also means that the difference should work hard to stay on his feet.

It seems unlikely, A new day rises (1985) It was registered around it Migrate corridorS The release and available after only six months. It is quite likely that the only thing that kept Hüsker Dü to release another dual album is a request from the poster, although they want more music as soon as possible, but they were not ready for other sprawling efforts. One of the factors related to the huge amount of music was that the studio time was in a relatively installment and cost. Thus, the group came ready whenever they got the opportunity. This means that Hüsker Dü has come out of most of its records in First, which added to their mystery.

While Hüsker Dü Easily met SST’s request for more music, the interior band disorders began to become something, mainly due to writing songs. According to Zrad, before Zen ArcadeThe mold had pushed to write songs. By this point, Mold and Hart were writing songs at a slight pace, which led to a competition between the two for the lead. Norton described how everyone seemed threatened by the other, and the result was that both ended with a “cargo of songs”. It was a problem that benefited from everything, even if the friction that eventually led to the division.

after Zen ArcadeHüsker Dü was left with a specific challenge: How do you follow the specified work of the species that turned against it? Hüsker Dü has proven that beautiful melodies and pop songs can live within the fast and noisy Hardcore numbers. They also showed how the villain could be exciting to think and that the concept albums do not need to be preserved for progressive rocks, which behaves such as fixed and sex that took it a few decades after decades. They answered a call by doubling more than the same thing, some of them argue, making it better.

The rhythm of the opening cylinder and the rising sequence to the opening track will determine the tone of the rest of the record, which provides a lot of muscle density as much as the melody did. “New Day RISING” is not far from Zen Arcade The opening match “Something I learned today”. Hüsker Dü Use a line after the villain on the previous track as a jumping point. “New Day RISing” came to the listeners more directly, focusing on the metal guitar and screaming (and screaming) that will return to the listeners at any time when these words were speaking, not to mention their play through speakers.

You only need to listen to the first ten seconds of each of the three opening songs, which also include “The Girl WhO Thens on Heaven Hill” and “I apologize”, and one can hear the speed of speed meets the strength that is now able to be now communicating from During Hüsker Dü music. The melodies on A new day rises In the end, I laid the foundation for other teamE or pop assets that were forged through Hart paths. At that time, the band cannot know the permanent influence they will make in the field of alternative music.

Despite the distinctive sounds that Hüsker Dü can produce now, they have moved from the path to the path easily, which were part of the sequence and the innate ability to make rhythmic changes look normal. A new day rises A more simplified collection of songs was offered with no sound numbers (“” Never talk to you again “) or the transmission of Rock Psychology (” Hare Krsna “). “Books about strange bodies”, Ramshackle tape number in the vein of Pogues, is the closest that can come to merge another type in this effort (although “how to take off the cat” may have created a branch for itself). Like concerts, which moved at a break, A new day rises She gave the listeners a little time to pick up their breath, especially within the “pieces” group of 15 paths.

A new day rises There is no relentlessness but in a different way from Sign of the Earth’s speed (1981). Their direct album for the first time was an attack on his shoulders that could make his ears bleed, if he did not feel like a punch in the intestine. If these previous songs are not mixed into one, then the shroud of noise. In this effort, tracks It may turn into chaos, but it is likely to be returned from the edge of the abyss (“” If I tell you “,” 59 times the pain “).

The fact that Hüsker Dü can now explain their strength to what extent has reached a few years. The only real blow is that production left a lot of desirable. For example, the record contained certain moments when singing needs to be modified, especially the lower rotation record of “perfect example” and “59 times the pain”. If Hüsker Dü spent longer in the studio, they could have used some defects that the Indie brand was not equipped to deal with, but there would be no guarantees that the final product would have the same insistence.

The collapse of the writing of songs should have been drawn hard Zen Arcade and A new day rises. As with their early versions, Mold was writing most songs, while Hart wrote about 20 percent (leaving a mix of band for the remaining discounts). Mathematics may not care much for the normal listener, but over time, Hart appeared prominently to the extent that the duties of writing songs have been almost divided. Warehouse: songs and stories (Only “almost”, as Hart’s constant discontent focused on how to give him mold more than 45 percent of the album).

Even if the template is the actual leader, some Hart’s songs began to become a favorite of fans. on A new day risesThe “girl who lives on Hail Hill” and “the conditions of psychological warfare” included, but in the end, his credits included “green eyes” and “a flexible bulletin” Turn your wig hair (1985) And “You don’t want to know if you are alone” from Gray apple candy (1986). Certainly, mold has been regularly produced from the courage that demanded attention, but the balance of power has turned.

Even if the duties of writing songs are very similar, one can explain this A new day rises The point that could no longer contain supplementary but parallel aspirations. Fans in the end benefited because it led to some of their best music. The mold formulated one of its most mature numbers in the leading song “Summer”, which recalled a poetic time for swimming, playing in a band, and drinking on the beach, hoping to stay in that place even if the periodic life of the request is that it should end.

Hart Hart has opened the side of the registry, for example, how to start his songs to earn a better position. The tone appeared with if I want to show off and the gentle tongue was distinguished for lovers who refused: “Now all silver that you can steal / you cannot buy a piece of what I feel.” Support singing indicates that some links cannot be broken when it comes to brotherhood.

The villain arose primarily from the need to express contradictory feelings with those in the main current. This principle challenged groups to show the sounds and methods that undermine the basic pop music. If Ramons has complicated the idea that the villain was the opposite of the pop, he has lost Hüsker dü since then this type of pollution. with A new day risesThe band did not return to the model, but it suggested that there be another way to move forward, which was built on the history of the villain and the militants while embracing the traditional elements that were rejected from the beginning. Restore pop into the villain may seem like a single conclusion today, as groups such as Green Day are now run on Top-40 radio stations, but this was not the case in the mid-1980s.

There was a moment when the militants could surrender to its worst demons, which was embodied by the deliberate suicide of Darbi, which was destroyed by heroin. The visions of such a brave disappearance, when they are considered alongside other reference behaviors, such as fans – are mostly young males – who sought the opportunity to manufacture their sadistic pulse, the factions indicated completely the sign of the sign.

Hüsker Dü helped control this anger, as they mobilized their songs as a perfectly appropriate energy bursts as it was for the tinnitus. As the title suggests, the band did not suggest anything less than the new look for themselves and the scene as a whole. Today, we realize this A new day rises It changed the path of the alternative rock. Another perspective is how the masses would have received music in 1985 as a constant palace of what Hüsker Dü began just half a year ago, and a good record in that.
