Acid Monsters inhabiting Mutant Sheep.
After spending more than a year on the road promoting their
album Upgrade To Mutant Sheep in France (40 shows), in the
Balkans, and in the USA last summer, Paral-lel is back with a
new release.
Freaks Rock!, their new EP, was born on the road. It's the
joining of their mutant sound and analog TB303, 909 and 808
grafts. Leaving their electronica influences aside momentarily,
this release explores a more human, simple and authentic
sound. Change is also felt in the cover design; an innovative and
infinite patchwork of possibilities done entirely by hand by artist
Julie Chovin.
Freaks Rock! heads into Hiphop/techno/break orbit with the
huge acid track Freak Beat; it then heads into an abrasive
groove with a high end that will tear off the dancefloor with
Coretefax. For those nostalgic for the old times, the dissonant
TaToil revisits early Rave while the punchy The Head pulls us
into an epic electro/break oblivion. The EP concludes with the
explosive brainwashing of BigRedKlit.
Along with their tracks, Paral-lel has picked 3 remixes by Clark,
Flore and SKNDR, illustrating some of their most meaningful
encounters this year.
Clark remix Till the day Falls: The Warp genius that no longer
needs presenting, presents an a unique track, similar to his work
on Body Riddle, that only he has the secret of making. Flore
nightmare remix Acidx: A massive and brooding piece, with
hints of dubstep. SKNDR remix Attack of the Mutant Sheep: A
straight up techno gem!
You know what? ... Freaks Rock! … Yeah!
