David Tibet, John Balance de Coil and Fritz Haaman from 23Skidoo founded Current 93 in 1982. However, as soon as their first 12" was published, the group became the personal project of David Tibet and Balance and Haaman chose to devote their time to their own bands. The years went by and Current 93 continued to work as an ever-changing number of collaborators with Tibet. The 25 years of the group's career have included the participation on stage or in the recording studio of artistes of the stature of Cosey Fanni Tutti and Chris Carter (from Throbbing Gristle and Carter-Tutti), Michael Cashmore (Nature & Organisation), Joolie Wood, Björk, Steve Ignorant (Crass), Nick Cave, Rose McDowall (Strawberry Switchblade), Tiny Tim, Björk, Shirley Collins, Bill Fay, Andrew W.K. and Rickie Lee Jones.
En 1986, despois dunha estadía no Nepal, Current 93 gravou o seu primeiro álbum conceptual, In menstrual night, sobre a lúa, a menstruación e Xesús Cristo. Tibet bautizaba entón o estilo experimental e acedo da banda como "folk apocalíptico". Axiña crearía un selo propio, Durtro, despois do cal a edición dos seus traballos había resultar máis doada; os primeiros discos da nova marca musical foron, curiosamente, orgánicos e acústicos: Thunder perfect mind e Of ruine or some blazing starre. Deseguido, o encontro con Michael Cashmore, un dos guitarristas máis talentosos e influentes da actualidade, suscitaba un conxunto de traballos alucinados, claves na discografía de Current 93.
In 1986, after a stay in Nepal, Current 93 recorded its first concept album (In menstrual night) on the moon, menstruation and Jesus Christ. Tibet then christened the band's experimental, acid style as "apocalyptic folk". He was soon to create his own label (Durtro), after which it became easier to publish his work. Interestingly, the first records published by the new label were organic and acoustic: Thunder perfect mind and Of ruine or some blazing starre. Then, the meeting with Michael Cashmore, one of the most talented and influential contemporary guitarists, gave rise to a number of amazing works of key importance in Current 93's discography.
A finais dos 90 apareceu a triloxía The Inmost Light, que inclúe Where the Long Shadows Fall, All the Pretty Little Horses e The Starres Are Marching Home, e contén as teimas e mellores letras de David Tibet, xunta a convidados de luxo como Nick Cave ou Shirley Collins. A partir de aquí, o enésimo punto de fuga. Current 93 volvía mutar grazas a dúas obras mestras: Soft Black Stars, tecido unicamente con voz e piano, e mais Sleep has his house, dedicado ao pai de Tibet, que se encarga da voz, completando desta volta a formación Michael Cashmore ao harmonio e Steven Stapleton con diversos sons. Máis persoais e reflexivos, estes dous álbums abandonaron o surrealismo cósmico e proclamaron o devezo de David por Cristo, polo artista Louis Wain, polo novo testamento grego, pola lingua copta ou polo poeta homosexual e drogadicto Count Stenbock.
At the end of the 1990s, the band released the trilogy The Inmost Light, which includes Where the Long Shadows Fall, All the Pretty Little Horses and The Starres Are Marching Home, and contains David Tibet's best manias and lyrics and guest artistes such as Nick Cave and Shirley Collins. From here on in, the umpteenth vanishing point. Current 93 mutated again through two masterpieces: Soft Black Stars, woven together with only voice and piano, and Sleep has his house, dedicated to Tibet's father, who provides the voice, with Michael Cashmore on the harmonium and Steven Stapleton with a variety of sounds. More personal and reflexive, these two albums moved away from cosmic surrealism and proclaimed David's preference for Christ, the artist Louis Wain, the Greek New Testament, the Coptic language and the homosexual poet and drug addict Count Stenbock.
Black ships ate the sky, ata hai pouco a última peza discográfica desta banda de culto, supúñalles un novo éxito e mesturaba diferentes interpretacións vogais para dar forma a un relato conceptual respecto do retorno do Anticristo e o segundo advento de Xesús. Na que ha ser a súa segunda visita ao Estado español, desta vez conforme á entente C93, este círculo aberto e libérrimo de músicos celebrará en Santiago de Compostela, durante unha fin de semana enteira, a edición de Aleph at hallucinatory mountain, que se agarda como un dos seus traballos menos predicibles e máis potentes. Sobre o escenario, ademais de Tibet, estarán James Blackshaw, Baby Dee, Andrew Liles, Keith Wood e Alex Neilson. Todo un luxo telos por aquí.
Black ships ate the sky, which, until recently, was the latest release by this cult band, was another hit and blended together different vocal interpretations to provide a conceptual story on the return of the Antichrist and the second coming of Jesus. On what is to be its second visit to Spain, this time with the entente C93, this open and extremely liberal circle of musicians is to hold the Aleph at hallucinatory mountain edition in Santiago de Compostela over one entire weekend, anticipated as one of the least predictable and most powerful works. Tibet will be joined onstage by James Blackshaw, Baby Dee, Andrew Liles, Keith Wood and Alex Neilson. It is indeed a privilege to have them here.
