Yowie / Pili Coit - Split CD
SKU
39-CD-GRA-162X
“Two tremendously inventive bands have reinvented themselves once again, premiering new music.
First, Lyon’s minimal duo Pili Coït fulfill a titillating dream: to go maximal. Following the release of their acclaimed album “Love Everywhere”, Jessica Martin Maresco and Guilhem Meier criss-crossed Europe and performed an unforgettable run of shows in the USA. Then they opened wide - allowing violin, viola, cello, kaval, bass clarinet and tuba to find just the right spot, blending their slinky-squeaky scintillating sounds with the polyrhythmic arpeggios of the vocalizing guitar-percussion duo. Pili Coït now sleeps with Les Exocrines and has become an 8-piece mutant orchestra.
“Pili Coït is a remarkable act - fusing a range of sounds in a manner rarely, if ever, heard in contemporary music. Gloriously melodic with grungy guitar and fantastic split vocals, this is refreshingly unique and incredibly engaging” - SONIC ABUSE
Yowie has metamorphosed again, this time forming an international lineup, composed of Daniel Kennedy (of Philadelphia’s avant-garde metal act Cleric) and Jack Tickner (of Australia’s microtonal mathcore messiahs Basil’s Kite), along with the OG Defenestrator.
Unmistakably Yowie, this new configuration pushes far beyond boundaries previously uncharted, infusing Yowie’s instantly recognizable approach with a new enthusiasm and energy that baffles and excites listeners, inspiring ass movement en masse.
“The musical prowesses displayed in this amalgamation of forward thinking & progressive math rock lie as much in the muscles as in the neurons. It challenges, inspires and mesmerizes, all at once” - CAN THIS EVEN BE CALLED MUSIC
