Sandra and Joséphine aka Cacophoneuses have enchanted crowds since their
spectacular appearance at the respected techno industrial festival
Fondation Sonore in 2013, followed by nothing less than a Maschinenfest
gig. Now it is time for their proper debut album via HANDS, which follows
their self-proclaimed goal to move you inside (and) out. Hearty
technoid beats and arcane soundscapes that set the myth of Lorelei to
music, an album alluring the listener into the world of this fresh
female duo, in the no-man’s-land between rhythm’n’noise and techno. The
Lorelei is a feminine water spirit, who according to German popular
culture by her murmuring bewitches men and in some versions of the myth
even causes their death. In the musical adaption of the myth,
Cacophoneuses stand in a tradition of the likes of Liszt or
Shostakovich, so one could speak of an ambitious concept for a debut
album, but they manage with ease: After the coarsely atmospheric intro
“The most beautiful nymphs” the album holds eleven rhythmic tracks: From
the tribal “You have bewitched me” with its psychedelic otherworldly
sounds over the distorted technoid “With eyes full of stones” to the
doomed “Obession”, from strangely atmospheric tracks like “French Kiss”
to safe bets for the industrial dance floor like “Dirty Girls like dirty
beats” or the closing title “Die of Love”, this is one tight rhythmic
ride, starting slowly and sucking you in along the way. Soundwise the
trademark sound of Cacophoneuses is somehow dubby hollow (rather than
in-your-face harsh), which adds greatly to the subtle, repetitive
elegance of this album. “The Myth of Lorelei” is a sincere
recommendation to anyone into rhythm’n’noise with a strong techno
flavour, a debut which convinces through its atmospheric impact coupled
with the punch of the beats.
