Blastbeat Falafel is the latest single from IGORRR. The track comes by way of the band’s stunning fifth album, Amen, set for release on September 19 via Metal Blade Records.
French multi-instrumentalist and producer Gautier Serre has been operating under the name IGORRR for twenty years now, yet each new record still resounds with a startling freshness and radical vitality. IGORRR’s Blastbeat Falafel features guest appearances by Trey Spruance (Mr. Bungle) and Timba Harris (Estradasphere, Secret Chiefs 3).
Spruance’s main band, Mr. Bungle has long been a savvy comparison for IGORRR’s ethos of tightly controlled musical anarchy and gleeful boundary-smashing intensity, the Californian loons another motivating force for the young Gautier. Like Mr. Bungle, IGORRR stubbornly repels the sort of generic pigeonholing that certain media and fans love to indulge in.
