An unholy fusion of black metal, drum’n’bass, baroque, breakcore, electronica and more, this latest creative brain explosion by the French musician, also known as Gautier Serre, is an otherworldly onslaught of wit and arrhythmic anarchy. If there are any parallels at all to be found it is somewhere between the electronic genius Aphex Twin and guitar wizard Buckethead. This number comes from the forthcoming Igorrr album, Spirituality and Distortion, out on Metal Blade Records, and the fourth overall. Igorrr is also now a band comprising vocalists Laurent Lunoir and Laure Le Prunenec, and drummer Sylvain Bouvier.
Serre’s previous Igorrr projects, spanning an even wider mix of genres, from baroque and opera to acoustic, have included a whole variety of experimentalism, including My Chicken’s Symphony, a piece based on poultry pecking on a seed-covered mini piano keyboard in a field. Serre has also made film scores and is part of the groups Whourkr and Corpo-Ment.
The video to Very Noise is made by MeatDept. have also done work for Mr Oizo and idents for Adult Swim.
