Backengrillen by Backengrillen

For fans of Chat Pile, Fugazi, Sleep, the Zappa lineage, and the joy of stomping all over creative boundaries, Backengrillen by Backengrillen presents a model of improvised meditation based upon the jagged edges of noise rock. Where we may hold the expectation that meditative experiences ought to feel aesthetically accessible and inherently calming, introducing harshness to the practice helps us center our concentration on the real world. Shockingly, the sort of calm, peaceful zen chamber one might conventionally retreat to represents a radical departure from reality, the sort of escapism which helps the individual but offers nothing to the world outside. Instead, Backengrillen allows their musicians to exercise their freely flowing energy by improvising parts from every genre and instrument under the sun overtop these deeply angular, oftentimes downright discordant noise rock riffs. The end result reeks of reality in the most refreshing way possible, recognizing that to come together and address the anti human gunk polluting our world we must first speak in terms which acknowledge our environment as a vicious, anti-human sewer.
