BRUCH - The Fool

[Gregory Torso]

This just came into my life, 2 weeks after I quit my job just to not get defribillated in the lung plates by a wheezing nan wanting me to write a christmas card from her cat to her dog, her spit peppering my forearms was the final straw, I quit the post office. 2 weeks of fear, actually. 10 days lisening to ZZ Top, wandering what the hell I have done, wandering what Dusty Hill's pubic lice look like, whether I need to go back and beg royal mail to give me a second chance, ah I can't die like a dumb animal out here in the midlands, and then I hear this. And it's reaffirmed me, it's like, yes, give it up to make art and it'll get out there to people who'll get it. Write like a beast. (yeah, look for jobs and that, but) Write and make art you fucks this could be our last chance

anyway...

This is how I like it. Outsider. Not even wanting to get inside yer. Melancholic and defiant. BRUCH is the one man work of an artist from Vienna and if I really have to describe it, I'd say "your recently bereaved Elvis-loving Austrian neighbour gets into chillwave and Alan Vega and borrows your drum machine".

The Trembler

Individual

The Sinner - particular favourite, this.

Weirdly, this came out partly on Trost label which is mainly known for releasing free jazz spank-a-thon bespectacled party barge noise like The Thing.
(and little bit extra here, if you never heard the record The Thing did with Neneh Cherry a few years ago, ear-hole peep this shit -

The Thing & Neneh Cherry - Cashback)

Anyway, first thing I've heard for weeks that made me fizz and my little dead heart started up its turbines again. wicked

love the Neneh Cherry & The Thing collab, particularly the 'Accordion' cover

I can't say I'm a fan of Bruch but I hope I could read your writings one day.

The Trembler

THIS is fucking brilliant. Love it, and exactly the sort of thing I needed to listen to at this precise moment.

[Gregory Torso]

Glad you're enjoying it. He's got a similar vibe to Richard Papiercuts whom I made an thread about a while ago. That was a good' un. It's nothing groundbreaking I guess, but it just hit me at the right spot, in the right mood.

[Shaky]

Yeah, it's just the right combo of things at the right time. Simple, insistent electro krauty rhythms coupled with that bruised, straightforward, confessional vocal. Very lovely.

It's the kind of music I imagine making in my head but can never quite execute in reality.
