HARB 203LP

Finally, Massicot's second album is here! As ever the groove is the key to Massicot's sound. Simple, seductive, and human. The band choreograph their way around the spaces between traditional spiritual story telling mysticism of Northern European pagan folklore and Latin and Middle-Eastern inspired polyrythms topped off with a little post-punk. As ever the arrangements are full and juicy whilst formed from the simplest elements. The bouncing percussive tapestries are coupled with thick pulsating basslines which form the meandering but tightly-wound rolling beats. Over which goes the accenting citric guitar hooks and the soothing Latvian chant-like choral vocal melodies. Massicot create a carnival dance that locks in the mind whilst luring the body. In true collaborative spirt this record is released in conjunction with our sister-label Spurge Recordings and also the good folks at Bongo Joe (Geneva) and Red Wig (Hamburg). No borders, ever.

Geneva quartet take a side step into expanding their signature sound as captured on their previous Morse album (2015). Suri Gruti features two extensive side-long pieces created whilst sound tracking Man Ray movies. The sharp minimal post punk riffs and drums are still hypnotically repetitive whilst the band still bursts with that frantic energy that sounds like it's straining to contain itself. Like a contemporary meeting between the likes of The Ex and Kleenex without any whiff of nostalgia. Suri Gruti contains that collision point. Edition of 300.
