Familiar Strangers by Eurostache, GmbH

Eurostache's "Familiar Strangers" is an avant-garde excursion into the realm of experimental music, recorded live at the Norcal Noise Fest on Day 2 at Cafe Colonial in Sacramento on Saturday, October 7th, 2023.

This album is a seamless blend of electronic textures and ambient landscapes, encapsulated in two tracks that form a continuous live performance experience. These tracks represent segments of a single, fluid performance. The distinction between them is subtle, serving more as markers during a sojourn rather than separate destinations. The use of intricate samples and FX layers each piece with depth and complexity. The auditory experience is a maneuver through a shifting landscape, where sounds emerge, evolve, and dissipate, creating a tapestry of auditory illusions.

Eurostache, formed in 2009 on Oakland's Telegraph Ave, is an electro-acoustic group focused on live experimentation.

Their performances blend unique instruments, analog synths, found objects, and vocalists' extended techniques. The result is a captivating cacophony ranging from ambient textures to noise and feedback.

Their improvised shows fearlessly explore the fringes of sonic expression.
