The electric duo Emilie Škrijelj / Tom Malmendier continues to draw new landscapes with their second album "Tropism" on Carton Records.

A turntable, a battery, for a voluble and wild music, like the first track "Pua Pii", flower from the Marquesas Islands which sticks and hangs thanks to its hook-shaped edges. Playful and mischievous also like the song "Patoko Mata", a grass that islanders, children, put in their eyes to keep them wide open.

The furrows strike electrified skins, an abstract language where percussions and electronics intermingle, like a dance on embers.

“une durée idéale à une démarche qui relève davantage de la jubilation et de la fulgurance qu’à l’exercice de composition.”

“Eventually power pumps and cries give way to samples of squealing multi-tracked voices.”

“Certainly an unclassifiable listen, calling this experimental might be an understatement, as noisey bouts, creative improvising and a highly meticulous attention to detail”

“Laissant là votre oreille se paumer entre le beau et l’intime malicieux.”
