about

EN

Determination, freestyle, electricity. Organic and crispy sounds, exploding in thousands of colours. Rhythmedelic pleasures. Anarchic organised art. Noise/Pop/Dance/Punk/Tribalism/Avant-garde. A well-defined, yet so indefinable sound. So Beast is all of the above, and so much more. The Bologna-based duo has its debut with “Kira”, released in December 2016 by Californian label Time Released Sound. Two years later, the band is praised at European level thanks to “Fit Unformal”, released by a consortium of Italian, German and Croatian labels. As terse and fierce as it is, “Superblack” EP introduces So Beast’s newest sonic fascination. That is to say, a renewed interest in harsh and obsessive rhythms, combined with the exploration of sound and radio art. The 5 tracks straddle the ridge between improvisation and experimentation. The sampler leads the way, guiding the movements of synths, keyboards, guitars and voices as they outline a non-standard sonic body. Percussions are the engine driving the whole process, well hidden in a secret dark room. A room where the black tone sports an unexpected range of shades.

IT

Grinta, stile libero, elettricità. Un’esplosione di colori che accompagna sonorità organiche e croccanti. Piaceri ritmedelici. Arte anarchica organizzata. Noise/Pop/Dance/Punk/Tribalismo/Avanguardia. Un suono ben definito, eppure indefinibile. I So Beast sono questo, e molto altro ancora. Di stanza a Bologna, il duo esordisce nel Dicembre 2016 con “Kira”, pubblicato dalla californiana Time Released Sound. Due anni dopo, i nostri si affermano a livello europeo con “Fit Unformal”, pubblicato da una cordata di etichette Italiane, croate e tedesche. In “Superblack” (EP che anticipa un album di futura pubblicazione) i So Beast presentano, in maniera concisa e feroce, le loro più recenti infatuazioni sonore. Un rinnovato interesse per ritmi scarni e ossessivi si sposa a spunti provenienti dall’esplorazione di sound e radio art. I brani solcano il crinale che separa improvvisazione e sperimentazione. Il campionatore è l’interfaccia di navigazione, che guida i movimenti di synth, tastiere, chitarre e voci nel tratteggiare un corpo sonico fuori standard. Le percussioni spalancano la porta della stanza oscura in cui alloggia il meccanismo motore. Là dove il nero sfoggia un insospettabile ventaglio di sfumature.
