Ear drum piercer Brezel G÷ring and thrash lout äHotlegô
have committed themselves to a reckless and impulsive
mix of Dub-Psycho-Speed-New Wave, action film
soundtracks and 50 s Musique ConcrÅte. For several
years, these two desperados have hacked their way
through the unpredictable weeping fistulas of post-industrial
easy listening. In doing so they combine genre-spanning
arranged marriages and acceleration of track playback
speed. The music is played on children s toys and fleamarket
trash. Consequently their more or less ordered noises,
erratic arrangements and bizarre sequences mutate into an
amorphous Gesamtkunstwerk.
Brezel G÷ring s 2003 debut on Gagarin Records caused high
blood pressure among intransigent fans. His hit äGeliebt und
doch nicht gefeuertô (Loved yet not fired) was released as a
12 inch on the Belgian label äSurpriseô and defiled with
dance exercise remixes.
ECHOKRANK shine a light on the ugly side of the entertainment
industry, getting moody people in the mood. The declared goal
of this music is to bring chaos to order. It is an official tribute toes
the irregular, the classic freakout: sound tremors don t rebel
against the lack of innovation but against the audio events
themselves.
If it s true that today s defects will be tomorrow s successes,
then these are the defective hotshots of tomorrow. Always too
much and never enough, going over the top, no matter how far,
reducing to the max: these foundations make or break the whole
affaire. It is magnificent that such a record is released in an era
that generally lacks beauty, elegance and grace.
ECHOKRANK raise ambiguity to an art form. The songs meander,
and consciously induced no-win-situations arise based on the
understanding that nothing is more senseless than economic
competition and the bourgeois inclination to conformity.
We become witnesses to an unstable whole which could perish at
any time. Anti-music and gliding tones pass the deformed musical
key from hand to hand, unlocking the floodgates to an inferno of
irresponsibility.
The band seems to be contented: äAt least this keeps the idiots
away from us.ô
And what remains? - our hearing suffered.
Listening is a matter of attitude.
