Stereo Total - Musique Automatique - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Q What happens when you combine three women bassist singers from 70s/80s Swiss bands? A a trio-full of sinuous music which reclaims the minimalist sound of the post-punk that they first created themselves. In September 2018, after decades of friendship, three women decided to finally combine forces for a show of strength. The equation seems straightforward, yet it's very powerful Klaudia Schifferle (Kleenex/Liliput) + Madlaina Peer (Noknows) + Sara Schaer (TNT, Souldawn) = ONETWOTHREE. They sport an impressive heritage but they're also creating something that's unique and proudly their own - spooky, danceable, subtle, compelling music for a post-pandemic world.ONETWOTHREE's first album doesn't have a name but that's just as it should be for a band that's deceptively simple, mysterious and yet somehow familiar. Three women bassists/singers from classic Swiss post-punk bands dot their insistent, minimal music with drum patters, synths, chants, commands and joyous wordplay with their sometimes cynical, sometimes sensual take on leisure and consumer culture. The group is appropriately DIY, self-contained and self-produced - their debut was written and played almost entirely by themselves. ONETWOTHREE's songs blend into a whole, creating a momentum and their own kinetic, strange reality which fun-house mirrors our own.Perfect IllusionGive PawJamaisBuy BuyOh BoySuddenAdventureCloudsFakeBubbleThings Album Tracks 1.

Stero Ttotal's third album is a rogue Wurlitzer of a record, following the sprit of OH AH and MONOKINI while revealing new surprises. On JUKE BOX ALARM all the various sounds have been seamlessly woven into one sonic tapestry, the various patterns held together by a constant stream of highly unique synthesizer noises. While in the past Stereo Total have borrowed freely from a huge pot of influences, the ambitious mission at the onset of this project was to create something completely new, disregarding conventions and displaying no t respect. Think Hot Chocolate meets the first Flying Lizards record in the Residents practive space under the supervision of Pierre Henry. Or something like that. Album Tracks 1. Beautycase 2.
