Artists
Jeugdbrand
Theatrical, playful improv combo of Dennis Tyfus (piano, guitar) and Jeroen Stevens (percussion and other instruments). Their latest work, 3 x hullo, hullo, released by Futura Resistenza, is a collection of fragmented snapshots where odd phrases and musical ideas collide. It's a series of disconnected sketches, where emotions shift quickly and the ride is anything but smooth. Boomkat previously described the duo as "theatrical and eccentric... Tyfus is at the top of his game here, panting and moaning as if completely isolated, while Stevens dabs random organ wisps over slow-moving sustained drones."
"A bit chaotic and improvised but done with a sure hand of doom – it puts everything you listen to in perspective – not only if you are way too serious about yourself, but also what kind of contract you signed up for in an existential sense." — FELTHAT
HWYUIOD
HWYUIOD are Shelter (Alan Briand), Orion (Tom Val), and Thomas Riguelle. Their debut album, recorded over two afternoons in November 2023 at Studio 121 and released on the Les Disques Omnison label, features four long improvisations influenced by krautrock, fourth world, post-punk, and free jazz. In the words of Maximilien (Oedipe Purple), it's an "ageless scene that draws on noise, German rock, pioneering techno and more, a non-jazz of scholars who forget everything to perpetuate a purifying ritual... Away from the machine to rediscover a little magic at your fingertips.”
