Prepare for some spastic thrashing and epic vocalizing: Igorrr
might very well be the great white hope of whatever-core. With
"Nostril", this French musician draws from his impressive
recording experience to create a dense and particularly wild
ride that puts enthusiasm and energy back in your stereo: fast
beats, sudden breaks, majestic moments, the whole thing crystal
clear and more detailed than the most roccoco paintings. Free of
any recognizable influences, new and very fun: here's quite a
tremendous slap in the face from an act to follow closely.
And now for something radically different. The oldest among us
might remember a time when a crazy new sound labelled as
"breakcore" took its first bars, mixing fresh ideas and renewed
energy into a club scene grown stale. Fast forward a decade
later: geeky time signatures and louder-than-thou attitude have
for the most part met their expiration date. That's when Igorrr
comes in: call it whatever you want, but this French act's
"Nostril" brings back enthusiasm and frenzy in your stereo.
Following two self-released albums (which recently got pressed
onto vinyl by Greece's Impulsive Art), "Nostril" is the big step
onto the stage by this French act. And what a leap: one would be
hard pressed to find something to compare this album to. Fast
staccato beats? Check. Heavy guitars and screams? Check. Baroque
strings and chanson samples? Check. It might help that Gautier
Serre, when he's not writing tracks for Igorrr or for Whourkr
(his metal side-project) works as a recording and mastering
engineer, as we imagine him using the time after his shifts to
juggle, experiment and play around with all kind of deranged
sounds, instruments and arrangements available.
It's the variety and sheer freshness that makes Igorrr such a
stand out act: marrying the energy of newcomers with the
composition talent of an experienced act, he infuses in his
music elements which have truly never met before, giving birth
to songs whose ancestry would be hard to trace.
A compact, dense and wild affair, "Nostril" is Igorrr's coming
of age album, in which the skills gathered with the previous
ones are focused into a highly musical, seductive whole. Carried
on by its playfulness, insanity and self-assurance, we find
ourselves bouncing up, thrashing out or head-nodding furiously,
as we all wished we would again one day. Welcome to "baroque-
core".
