bruit by Sheebaba

"With bruit, the duo somehow unveils a synesthetic tonality that paints plain but uneven textures of industrial glitch, fuzz and noise. Along the way, they synthesize both textual and tonal fragments from a wide-ranging tableau of pop music history, film and everyday life. By the refreshing juxtaposition of all these fragments, paired with multilingual speech, an enigmatic narrative patchwork emerges.

Though fueled by the rough and crooking pressure of machines, their sound formations do not escape the desire for organic tone. Driven by repetitive percussion, distorted pleasure and chanted narration, some tracks inevitably urge you to stomp along. At other times more restrained or even broken beats give way for calmer, drifting melodic and vocal layers, just to disrupt these fragile tonal structures again. Once distorted and uneven, once subtle and almost soothing, Sheebaba's bruit offers genre-bending proto-wave between kitsch and noise that stings the listener with visions of a lost future.“
