The guitars are out, and the knives are drawn. To the galloping rhythm of a world spiraling uncontrolled, The Younger Gods take goal and strike with renewed energy. From the very first second of “Seem Disappear”, the six-string tears by area, baring its fangs in an electrical howl. The trio has returned to its most aggressive fundamentals, to its artwork of sonic warfare—by no means superfluous when warfare is all over the place.
Not often has a Younger Gods album been so deeply infused with its period—considered one of army conflicts, mass surveillance, and intimate dramas. Since their inception in 1985, the band has pioneered musical landscapes that dared to fuse the uncooked urgency of rock with the ability of electronics. “Seem Disappear” captures that beating coronary heart. The Younger Gods honor their very own historical past as a lot as their lifelong influences, from psychedelic rock to post-punk, from the swirling, very “Doorways-like” “Intertidal” to the economic rolls of “Systemized”.
“We needed one thing uncooked,” summarizes Franz Treichler, guitarist and vocalist. “After the atmospheric rock of “Knowledge Mirage Tangram” (2019) and the instrumental piece “In C” by Terry Riley (2022), we wanted and needed to precise ourselves extra straight.”
A guerrilla album, then. A file of resistance. In each its themes and depth, it plunges into the guts of the entice, into “the mind of the monster”—which Che Guevara exactly positioned in Switzerland and which nonetheless thrives there comfortably. However it isn’t not possible to confront it.
“Seem Disappear” is a mirrored image on our involvement on the earth’s issues and our capacity to take a stand. How can we react, make the correct transfer amid the huge sea of knowledge we course of each second?” asks Treichler. Propelled skyward by the electro pulse of Cesare Pizzi (sampling, electronics) and the pounding drums of Bernard Trontin, “Mes yeux de tous” unfolds the identical dizzying query: How can we keep away from being swallowed by the “cloud” we ourselves feed?
The reply is in our arms. The affect is bodily, the dance tribal. To an obsessive tempo, “Shine that Drone” imagines a crowd stomping the bottom, elevating a wall of mud to blind surveillance drones. “Blackwater” celebrates new instruments of resistance—methods to flip digital surveillance to our benefit. Blackwater was the codename of a Chinese language activist who mapped police actions in real-time throughout the Hong Kong Umbrella Revolution. The bass undulates and sways, like a silent revolt spreading by the streets.
However “Seem Disappear” can also be—and above all—a file about love. A collective chant, created in jam periods by a trio extra united than ever, and an ode from Franz Treichler to his spouse Heleen, who handed away in 2023. Love is shouted, it overturns every part. “Blue Me Away” reserves the album’s most stunning explosions, its rawest bursts of sound. Treichler is definite: “Chaos dances when female and masculine dances unite.” The music of The Younger Gods is its soundtrack.
