Los Angeles Underground Rave Association (LA.U.R.A.) is proud to present the 6th installment of its ongoing split series, “Tasteless”. This round brings together Irelands golden-child Autumns with LA’s own Smog Index. Autumns are perfectly adding to his long list of killer releases while this is the debut from Smog Index. “Tasteless” brings both artists together, each with unique takes on aggro post-punk electronics that are both ready for the club but also a sewer.
Existential synthpunk from St. Gallen, Switzerland. I spent a big part of my short life with guitars, pedals, synths, drummachines and melancholy. As Karl Kave I feel free to expose my music. As Karl Kave I don’t need to give a shit. Whenever it is possible, the first take is the last. I’m sure there’s some truth in this. [Discogs] From his home city of Montréal, No brings us synth infused with lyricism mapped over the dark undercurrent of an intensively driving beat. From vocals suffused with a compelling nihilistic charge, No draws the listener into narratives with a somber core. This is synth unprocessed and raw edged, with an immediacy that goes straight to the heart of the matter. |
