Pas Musique – The Phoenix lp

Regular price $20.00 Sale

"Brooklyn-based artist Robert Pepper originally formed Pas Musique back in 1995 as an alias for his experimental solo performances, but since then, the band has grown into a four-piece, with Jon Worthley, Michael Durek and Jesse Fairbairn joining Pepper in the current lineup. Since the independent release of the band’s 2008 debut album ‘The Lyre Speaketh’, they’ve been consistently prolific, collaborating with the likes of Faust, ZEV and Rapoon amidst an impressively large discography of albums.

This latest album ‘The Phoenix’ follows on from last year’s collaboration with Rapoon ‘Composited Reality’, and sees Pas Musique continuing to blend jagged noise guitar elements with dark post-punk / industrial electronics and improvised wordless vocals. It’s the likes of Faust, Zoviet France and Throbbing Gristle that most immediately stand out as primary influences on the seven distinctly abstracted tracks collected here." - Chris Downtown / Cycle Defrost
