🇩🇰 Under For "Apparently All the Same" – 1984
My favourite release from Denmark's experimental underground, and it features Martin Hall, one of Denmark’s most distinctive figures in post-punk and avant-garde music. Its a lesser-known chapter in his extensive artistic career and reflects the independent spirit of Denmark's alternative music scene during the 1980s...

🇩🇰 Sods "Under en sort sol" – 1980
The band moves into darker, more experimental territory, embracing post-punk, psychedelia and avant-garde rock. Even the album cover reflects this change, omitting the band's name entirely. “Eveningsong”, featuring Lars H.U.G. on vocals and guitar, pushes the album into particularly adventurous territory...

MELT-BANANA - Neue Zukunft, Berlin
Neue Zukunft, Wednesday, November 4 at 07:00 PM GMT+1
Tickets:
https://www.tixforgigs.com/Event/75885
https://link.dice.fm/Q69de055c735
MELT-BANANA kommen aus Tokio/Japan. Der intensive Sound von MELT-BANANA ist längst eine Institution – für Fans, KritikerInnen ebenso wie für MusikerInnen, die sich von komplexen Strukturen und Arrangements nicht abschrecken lassen.
Zahlreiche Singles und Samplerbeiträge, 12½ Alben sowie Konzerte auf der ganzen Welt: Mit ihrem harten, experimentellen und einzigartigen Sound sind MELT-BANANA zu einem festen
Bestandteil der Musikgeschichte geworden. Es überrascht daher nicht, dass viele Fans von MELT-BANANA selbst MusikerInnen sind, die die Komplexität und das hohe Niveau von MxBx erkennen und schätzen. Ebenso wenig ist es ein Zufall, dass Künstlerinnen wie JOHN ZORN, TOOL, MIKE PATTON, FANTOMAS, WIRE, UNDERWORLD, MELVINS oder LOU REED mit ihnen zusammengearbeitet haben.
MELT-BANANA bestehen aus Sängerin Yasuko Onuki („Yako“) und Gitarrist Ichiro Agata („Agata“) . Agatas Gitarrensound wird oft beschrieben wie ein Mix aus Plattenspielern, Synthesizern und Samplern, die zwischen sechs Gitarrensaiten verborgen ist – und diesen unverwechselbaren „Hypertension Sound“ erzeugt. MELT-BANANA-Konzerte hinterlassen nachhaltige Eindrücke: sympathische Musiker*Innen, eine magische Atmosphäre, enorme Lautstärke, überraschende Effekte innerhalb der Songs und ein nahezu perfekter Umgang mit ihren Instrumenten. Grindcore-Riffs, aufgeladen mit unerwarteten Effekten, scharfe Shouts und massiver Druck.
Innerhalb von Sekunden denkt man an Kunst, Noise, Punk, Metal, Riot Grrrl, Grindcore, Popkultur oder an den Soundtrack eines aufregenden Films. Sind MELT-BANANA eine Noise-Band? Eine Punk-Band? Techno-Pop? Diese Frage ist letztlich irrelevant – denn MELT-BANANA lassen sich nicht kategorisieren. Die Band steht für Innovation und Fortschritt. Ihr Sound spielt in einer völlig eigenen Liga und gilt als stilprägend für zahlreiche Bands im weiten Feld von „Noise“ und „Rock“.
"You cannot just listen to Melt-Banana; you must experience Melt-Banana" (John Peel)
Gegründet Mitte der 90er-Jahre als klassisches Vierer-Line-up, sind MELT-BANANA heute ein Duo. Es wäre jedoch ein großer Fehler, das Fehlen eines echten Schlagzeugers oder Bassistin auf der Bühne als Verlust zu bezeichnen – ganz im Gegenteil. Der Schritt hin zu PC und Samples war eine logische Weiterentwicklung für MELT-BANANA. Das Ergebnis ist beeindruckend: Bass- und Drum-Sounds sind massiver und direkter denn je.
Dies bewiesen sie auf unzähligen Tourneen sowie auf dem 2013 erschienenen Album „Fetch“, das für Yako und Ichiro Agata eine Art Post-Fukushima-Album darstellt. Die Aufnahmen begannen im Januar 2011 und wurden lange nach der Nuklearkatastrophe im März 2011 abgeschlossen.
Voller Klangspielereien, untypisch farbenfroher Pop-Melodien, cleverer Loops und markanter Effekte. Die Erstauflage war sofort ausverkauft, die Kritiken überschwänglich: Rolling Stone, SPIN und Louder Than War feierten es als „bestes Album überhaupt“, „das beste Album einer der besten Livebands der Welt“. Metalblast schrieb: „Welcome back Melt-Banana, we love U“, SPIN kürte es zum „Album of the Week“.
2024 veröffentlichten MELT-BANANA ihr neues Album „3+5“. Das achte Studioalbum knüpft an Fetch an und führt dessen Ideen weiter. Es bewahrt die aggressive, gewalttätige Pop-Ästhetik der Band, verbindet sie mit spielerischer Musikalität und zeigt einmal mehr ihren Drang, neue Türen aufzustoßen. MELT-BANANA halten sich dabei in keiner Weise zurück – im Gegenteil: Ihr unermüdlicher Wille zur Weiterentwicklung ist beeindruckend.
Nach Tourneen durch UK und die USA mit zahlreichen ausverkauften Shows kehren MELT-BANANA 2026 nach Europa zurück.

Das Wiener Kollektiv TAKESHI’S CASHEW präsentiert am 30.10.2026 ihr neues Album „Planet Odyssey 64“. Nach weltweiten Tourneen mit ihren ersten beiden Alben gönnte sich die
Band eine kreative Pause und kehrt nun mit neuem Sound zurück. Der bisherige analoge Cosmofunk der Band wurde um Electro-Einflüsse erweitert. Die sechs Musiker experimentierten mit alten Synthesizern, ließen sich von Vintage-Computerspiel-Themen inspirieren und schufen so ein neuartiges Klanguniversum. Ihre besondere Spielfreude brachte die Idee für eine Art Konzeptalbum namens „Planet Odyssey 64“ hervor. Begleiten Sie uns auf einer Reise mit dieser außergewöhnlichen und ziemlich einzigartigen Gruppe.

Fabienk: Embrace Angine de Poitrine’s Math Rock Swagger 🪐
The French Canadian duo Angine de Poitrine have entertained us (and millions of others) mightily this year. And there’s no denying their single Fabienk is our favourite song of the band.
Up sums up everything inventively weird about the math rock duo. It’s a song of two halves, with guitarist Khn de Poitrine offering some serious catchy swagger in the from the 3:30 minute mark and that catchy, catchy hook. All hail to it.
Comprehending the Looping Joys of Fabienk
This song has won the 2026 Polaris Award for Best Canadian Song of the Year. For many people, it’ll be their first introduction to the music, too. It sure was for us.
The sight of those bizarre costumes, with giant beak noses, and the polka dot theme. That makes you gawp in shock, then the funky music kicks in. This exact clip here, showing the second half of the track.
View this post on Instagram
This is off their 2026 album Vol. II and exemplifies everything Angine de Poitrine is about. You’ve got the microtonal math rock bit, Khn’s loop pedal acrobatics, and a surprisingly danceable disco-punk groove (powered along by drummer Klek de Poitrine).
Everything opens up with a clean, jagged guitar so it all sounds slightly out of tune, but soon blasts into the band’s signature loop constructions. Khn plays without backing tracks, he uses a Boss RC-600 Loop Station so he can play bass, then guitar, and create that wall of sound around him.
It’s how two guys on stage are able to make so much noise and get so complex.
Then the song hits its midpoint and transitions into a brief audio segment (it’s unclear what they’re saying, but apparently it’s “Sébastien!”). Then we hit the groove, with a heavy bassline and a melodic hook from the guitar.
It’s a genuine rhythm overload and we just love the guitar hook. The guys have been one of the delights of 2026 and in Fabienk they have their Day in the Life, Stairway to Heaven, Bohemian Rhapsody etc. etc.
Notes on the Fabienk Riff
Loads of musicians on social media have taken to the Angine de Poitrine movement. The main bit everyone seems concerned about is the funky guitar, as covered here.
But if you want to learn every bit of Khn’s bass and guitar playing, you can see it in action through this geezer.
There’s a lot of complexity going on in this playing, it’s a tribute to how talented whoever Khn is that he can stand there on stage, in that costume, whilst barely being able to see anything, and thrash this all out.
It looks effortless when he does it. But it clearly isn’t! Yet that brain also came up with the riff. It’s what the world needed in 2026.
Notable Live Performances of Fabienk
The band’s live performance on KEXP is what helped catapult them to fame this year. They’ve since performed the song about 1,000 times live, highlighting to us one of the commitments to being in a band. You have to be ready and willing to play the same thing over, and over, and over, and fully dedicate yourself to that.
There’s a huge amount of fan footage of Angine de Poitrine performing live. It’s actually quite rare to favour the professional shoot footage, but we like this one of a Polaris concert taken by CBS. This was from late September 2026 and shows the guys in full flow, confident after a year of success.
Now, we’re from Manchester so we’re very biased here. They played at Manchester Psych Fest earlier in September 2026 and we can dig the dudes visited our city and gave it all a whirl.
But we also like this up close and personal take of Fabienk, with someone in the audience right there in the front row (keep in mind just how goddamn hot it must get in those costumers).
Excellent! This should be enough Fabienk for you for one day, then. Go forth and strut your stuff to it.

Klek: Otherworldly Drummer for Angine de Poitrine 💛
It’s fair to say 2026 has been the year of French math rock band Angine de Poitrine. They’re all over the place online, plus all over the place at every venue around the world! They’ve even got a gig in out home city of Manchester coming up in September.
Their real names are still unknown (as they’re aliens, not human beings), so our attention is drawn now to the duo’s most excellent drummer Klek de Poitrine. He’s got the beats and he’s also got a polka dot costume.
All Hail, Drumming God Klek de Poitrine!!
The French Canadian band exploded onto the music scene, grabbing attention thanks to the absurdist papier-mâché uniforms they were. Then the catchy math rock music makes you stick around.
Their commitment to this is commendable, but from a drumming point of view Klek has a lot to deal with there:
Drumming is bloody hard work and it’s why a lot of drummers rip their tops off, all so they can breathe a little. Klek has done the exact opposite, loading himself up in stuff. It must be hot and sweaty in that polka dot thing, so his ability to keep time with the band’s complex music is very impressive.
It gets so hot for him at some gigs the paint on his arms runs off onto his suit.
To add to the comical effect of the band, Klek’s proboscis monkey-styled nose sways all over the place whilst he’s playing. It’s a great little touch as the point is to not take it seriously, it’s just two young guys having a blast.
What is going on here then? Well, we’re drumming experts! Geniuses, in fact!! Thus, we’re taking a look at this microtonal approach to banging beats
Klek’s Kit and Playing Style
Above you can hear on Fabienk his style, this with his drums isolated away from bass and guitar. Our take on it is, by the closest approximation at any rate, is a Jaki Liebezeit style motorik beat. That means:
It’s an unusual structure, he’ll often shift around a lot, going from complex to repetitive in quick succession, all whilst his nose flies about the place. It’s funky stuff, though, and adds a real danceability factor to Angine de Poitrine.
And that’s what we like about Klek. No nonsense, just going down to the core of it with punch beats that’ll get people moving. It’s an often forgotten thing with drummers. Like in heavy metal or grunge, it’s just whacking the kit hard and heavy, there’s no desire to dance (headbanging maybe).
Here, Klek powers everything along in perfect harmony with guitarist Khn de Poitrine.
Khn’s guitar and bass playing work by looping various parts together live. It needs exceptional timekeeping from both of them to tie it all together, not least (again) as their vision is so restricted.
And the heat… boy, must it be hot for them. All those stage lights beaming down on them, you have to be fit to do that night after night.
Anyway, from our research online, Klek uses a Tama Superstar setup with a Tama piccolo snare and custom Luka snare additions. His style includes trance-like repetitive rhythms with head-muffling and unconventional dampening sounds all over his kit (a polka dot black sheet is usually spread across most of his kit).
We’ve no idea how long Angine de Poitrine will remain on our planet before returning home, but whilst Klek is on Earth I recommend drummers pay attention to him. Do so, now! Or you may upset our visitor.
