Soooo overrated. Imagine them without that stupid costume - it wouldn't be interesting at all. Nothing original for me, someone who grew up on bands like Mr. Bungle (who, by the way, managed to be weird while also being actually fun and musical). And if I’m in the mood for odd meters, I’d rather listen to Haken — it’s more complex and still manages to sound like music. Yes, yes, I know… it’s microtonal. Great. To me it still mostly sounds like an out-of-tune guitar. If you want to hear a band that actually does interesting things with microtonal ideas and Eastern-influenced modes, try Ozric Tentacles.
Gimmicks of all kind aside, I yay them compared to the slop (AI or not) that festers around these days. They play real instruments and sound tight like sh*t!
i am following them since they appeared. great music, great artist, great overall concept. if you wonder why they play so tight; they make music together since decades.
'It's not even half as interesting as MY favorite weird band that I grew up listening to, which is SO MUCH BETTER because the 90s were SO MUCH BETTER and my generation DESTROYS THESE UNORIGINAL KIDS. Haha, I've listened to a weird band 40 years ago, THIS IS NOTHING.' It's giving me these vibes man. Last edited: Mar 24, 2026 at 7:09 PM
I didn't think too much of It at first, but It started to make sense at 18:19. That third song Is really good.
"Fabienk" is a really good song imo. Their most recent release too, I think. So they're improving if u ask me.
My first impression was they are appropriating Selknam dress and that is cringe. I am also wary of anything that is seemingly being pushed on me from all angles and algorithms. I’ve seen a million bands in thousands of clubs and basements as a touring musician and active part of a music scene for 2 decades. This band is fine but they aren’t anything special. Edit: But that’s just my opinion. Last edited: Mar 24, 2026 at 7:59 PM
