Zechs Marquise, the El Paso, TX quintet are back with their sophomore album Getting Paid, bringing an intensified swagger to the band?s multifaceted psych-prog haze for their most aggressive and versatile effort to date. ?We liked that hip-hop attitude,? explains drummer Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez of the album title. ?Getting your piece, taking yours.? And, Getting Paid certainly finds the band fully taking charge of their musical destiny.
In the years since their auspicious 2009 debut Our Delicate Stranded Nightmare, Zechs Marquise toured extensively throughout the U.S., proving to be a formidable live act supporting Omar Rodriguez Lopez Group and RX Bandits as well as leading their own headlining tours. Zechs Marquise have also grown considerably in other ways. Recent addition Rikardo Rodriguez-Lopez on keyboards and trumpet joins his brothers, drummer Marcel and bassist Marfred alongside guitarists Matthew Wilkson and Marcos Smith contributing to the band?s expanded sound. Not only have they reached new plateaus of entrancing riffs and rhythms, but Getting Paid also integrates vocals on select songs, including guest performances by vocalist/guitarist Matthew Embree (RX Bandits, The Sound Of Animals Fighting, Love You Moon, ME&LP) and El Paso singer Sonny Baker.
The album was entirely produced and engineered by Marcel. ?We started off recording percussion to sequencers and loops,? he explains. ?I chopped those sounds up and arranged them. From there, were wrote the album with each of us coming in and playing on top of it. Kind of like a hip-hop song.? Considering the hectic tour schedules of both Zechs Marquise and The Mars Volta (in which Marcel plays keyboards and percussion), the band was forced to work on the album over an extended period of time in between both band?s tours. ?It gave us a lot of time to get perspective on the songs,? Marfred says. ?We?re really happy with and proud of this record.?Once all parts were composed using the studio as a tool, the band re-recorded the album live. ?We wanted something to represent our live energy,? says Marfred.
?The album cover by Zeque Penya is a play on Blacksploitation soundtrack art and stuff like (Miles Davis?) Bitches Brew cover,? Marfred explains. ?We wanted our own weird take on it.? Likewise, Getting Paid is throughout a wickedly wild take on elder forms of free jazz, skronk excursions, proto-funk and psychedelia with assertive tones and rhythms.
Zechs Marquise formed in El Paso in the spring of 2003, taking its name from a popular Japanese anime character. In June 2006 the band released 34:26, a live improvised set culled from their frequent west coast tours. The group?s first proper full length Our Delicate Stranded Nightmarewas produced and recorded by the band throughout 2008. In May 2009, Zechs Marquise signed on to the management roster at Sargent House and released Our Delicate Stranded Nightmare on LP/CD/digital in August of that year through Rodriguez Lopez Productions.
Getting Paid will be available everywhere on LP/CD/digital on September 27th on Rodriguez Lopez Productions

Винил почти в два раза дороже, так как двойник, плюс ещё и доставка. По большому счёту диск, если с хорошим мастерингом, ничем не хуже винила. _________________
