The meaning behind Chez Nobody
Mon/May/18 2009
Antiguo Autómata Mexicano’s Chez Nobody EP is released this week. It has been slowly gathering support from the likes of influential radio stations like N.Y.’s WFMU and Urb Magazine just said that the album is crazy, bizarre and beautiful. Cool, but what the heck does the name of the album mean?, according to AAM’s Angel Sánchez Bórges “Chez Nobody is the name of the hall where young people went to dance in Absolute Beginners, the 80‘s film by Julien Temple. The film tells the story of how corporations take over the culture that is generated in the streets and return it as a commodified teen novelty. A tale about of the end of popular culture substituted by the ‘modernism’ of institutionalized interventions. Chez Nobody is the place of no one and everybody, of this and of that, a place where languages fuse and where the need for experiences emerge. A place where all the possible experiences in the world are immediate and forever”. AAM imagined the Chez Nobody ep as an alternate soundtrack for that place.
