(de) The Associates fue una banda de rock escocesa, formada en Dundee en 1979 por el cantante Billy Mackenzie y el guitarrista Alan Rankine. El grupo ganó reconocimiento luego del lanzamiento de una versión no autorizada de la canción "Boys Keep Swinging" de David Bowie en 1979, lo que les valió un contrato discográfico con Fiction Records. Su álbum debut The Affectionate Punch de 1980 y su colección de sencillos Fourth Drawer Down de 1981 lograron excelentes críticas por parte de la prensa especializada. Lograron éxito comercial en 1982 con el lanzamiento del álbum Sulk y los sencillos "Party Fears Two" y "Club Country", siendo asociados al movimiento emergente llamado New Pop. Rankine abandonó el grupo ese año. En 1993 ambos músicos tuvieron una breve reunión. Mackenzie falleció en 1997. (es) Associates est un groupe de post-punk britannique, originaire de Dundee, en Écosse. Il est actif au début des années 1980, et principalement connu pour la voix de son chanteur, Billy Mackenzie. Mackenzie rencontre le guitariste Alan Rankine à Dundee en 1976. Ils forment un duo, enregistrant quelques chansons sous le nom de Mental Torture avant de devenir les Associates. Ils atteignent la célébrité en 1982, avec plusieurs singles classés au Royaume-Uni et leur album le plus réputé, Sulk. Rankine quitte le groupe peu après, mais Mackenzie continue à enregistrer sous le nom des Associates, avec divers invités, jusqu'en 1990. (fr) The Associates (or simply Associates) were a Scottish post-punk and pop band, formed in Dundee in 1979 by singer Billy Mackenzie and guitarist Alan Rankine. The group first gained recognition after releasing an unauthorized cover of David Bowie's "Boys Keep Swinging" as their debut single in 1979, which landed them a contract with Fiction Records. They followed with their debut album The Affectionate Punch in 1980 and the singles collection Fourth Drawer Down in 1981, both to critical praise. They achieved commercial success in 1982 with the UK Top 10 album Sulk and UK Top 20 singles "Party Fears Two" and "Club Country", during which time they were associated with the New Pop movement. Rankine left the group that year, leaving MacKenzie to record under the Associates name until 1990. They briefly reunited in 1993. MacKenzie died by suicide in 1997.

Il gruppo era composta da (voce) e (chitarra, tastiere e altri strumenti). A fianco dei due musicisti si sono alternati diversi altri artisti, tra cui (basso, 1980-1982) e (batteria, 1982-1983). (it) Associates (ibland The Associates) var en skotsk New Wave-grupp som verkade under 1980-talet. Bandet härstammade från gruppen The Ascorbic Ones som bildades 1976, och bildades 1979 i Dundee av sångaren Billy Mackenzie (1957–1997) och gitarristen Alan Rankine (1958–2023). I samband med detta släppte de sin första egenproducerade singel, "Boys Keep Swinging", vilken var en cover på den då outgivna David Bowie-låten, något som skapade uppmärksamhet från skivbolagen och gav dem deras första skivkontrakt. Genombrottet i Storbritannien skedde 1982 i och med singeln "Party Fears Two", vilken nådde den engelska Top Ten-listan och bidrog till en framgångsrik försäljning av albumet Sulk från samma år; av många ansedd som gruppens musikaliska höjdpunkt. Sulk bjöd på en bred variation av musikstilar med tonvikt på synth, new wave och punk, vilket tillsammans med Billy Mackenzies sång gav albuet en medveten, lätt disharmonisk prägel, vilket skulle komma att bli gruppens musikaliska signum. Texterna skrevs av Mackenzie och melodi och ljudbild utvecklades av multi-instrumentalisten Alan Rankine på ett relativt experimentellt vis. Relationen dem emellan blev dock alltmer frostig och i slutet av 1982 lämnade Rankine bandet för en solokarriär. Mackenzie och de andra medlemmarna fortsatte dock att spela in musik under Associate-namnet fram till 1990. Hoppet om en eventuell återförening grusades 1997 när Mackenzie, efter en längre tids depression, begick självmord. Innan dess gav Mackenzie ut några soloalbum, bland annat Outernational (1992), och medverkade även som sångare på British Electric Foundations cover på David Bowies låt "The Secret Life of Arabia" på albumet Music of Quality and Distinction (1982, återutgiven 2011).

Группа выпустила 5 студийных альбомов, самый успешный из которых, Sulk, в 1982 году поднялся до #10 в UK Albums Chart. Успех в списках имели и два первых сингла группы: «Party Fears Two» (#9, 1982) и «Club Country» (#13, 1982). Фронтмен The Associates, , авторское мастерство и сценические находки которого предопределяли интерес к группе со стороны музыкальных критиков, покончил с собой в 1997 году. (ru) |
