Legendary French industrial pioneers Vox Populi! arrive on
Dark Entries with a reissue of Sucre De Pasteque. Vox
Populi! was founded in Paris in 1981 by Axel Kyrou, a
multi-instrumentalist of Greek, French, and Palestinian
roots. He soon recruited his future partner, Mitra, and her
brother Arash Khalatbari, who were born in Iran and came to
Paris in their teens, as well as bassist Fr6 Man (Francis
Manne). Their sound was motley, combining elements of
musique concrete and early industrial with horns, flutes,
and traditional Persian instrumentation. Improbably prolific
and ceaselessly divergent, Vox Populi! found their way onto
dozens of cassette compilations during the heyday of the
1980s DIY tape music scene, including releases on
era-defining labels like Insane Music, Cthulhu Records, and
their own Vox Man. Sucre De Pasteque, the band's sixth
full-length release, came out in 1986 on Unlikely Records.
Like most of Vox Populi!'s output, Sucre is a scattershot
endeavor, encompassing psychedelic dirges, cosmic drones,
hypnotic chants, and fractured machine-funk. The mood is
understatedly bleak, but Vox Populi!'s genre agnosticism and
curious sense of wonder prevent things from feeling
oppressive or heavy-handed. The cover for Sucre De Pasteque
was designed by Eloise Shir-Juen Leigh, and features a
collage by Vox Populi! member Fr6 Man. This is deeply fried
material, perfectly capturing the obscurantism that
characterized much of the 80s DIY cassette scene.
