Comment: it is
not a wordy and magniloquent issue enough because of being inspired
by krautrock, by Neu!, an early Kraftwerk and Faust, the combos who
liked move on across a minimal, the so-called motorik pattern. Yet
the recent motorik pace based on 14 tracks is a bit different and
refreshing. Trillion Catz comes out from Berlin, Germany, a fruitful
soil to develop new genres. On the other side, which role is to bear
by the musician? To provide the matter, the sound for allowing the
listeners to escape from the burden of exhausting sensations, to
reach aletheia, to ascend his/her nature into a godlike person. To
partake in a systematic, coherent universe. In reality, it does mean
to crawl against the mainstream, against the hyper-sexualized and
monetary world and the excessive flow of information or to get in
touch with them as less as needed. A person's goal should be intended
to be less vulgar and mediocre and brainwashed. Is
Vulgar a
good medium to withdraw him/her from it? The answer of mine is pure
yes because it is clearly balanced between those slightly haphazard
electronic impulses yet in turn synthesising something new for our
aural world. Those miniaturised sounds and effects do set up
something unusual and exciting. If to compare it to the
aforementioned krautrock juggernauts it may be more (self)-aware of
how to elegantly disturb a historical krautrock bound yet at the same
time preserving the tight connection with it. That's logical because
the first ones had created it while Trillion Catz is deconstructing
it. This outstanding (one of the best in 2017) release which adds to
krautrock as a style an additional value and meaning is a part of the
Japanese imprint Bump Foot.
