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 anew 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 Hip hop / 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 dance floor 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.
