Genre/Influences:
IDM,
cinematographic.
Format:
Digital, CD, Vinyl.
Background/Info:
French project t
2Kilos &More is already active since the early millennium years. While
they’re still active with the famous Von Magnet collective, they now get back
to 2Kilos & More unleashing their first new opus since “Lieux-Dits” (2015).
Notice by the way the album has been released by the recently defunct
Audiotrauma in the vinyl format while the CD version has been released by Le
Label Beige. I got the digital version released by Ant-Zen.
Content:
“Exempt” is maybe
the most unusual release by 2Kilos &More. I notice a kind of fascination
for minimal electronic treatments, but there also is a psychedelic flavor
created by guitar playing. The tracks are somewhat versatile, moving from IDM
and even experimental passages towards pure psychedelic- and cinematic
impressions.
+ + + :
“Exempt” is an
album with its very own style and approach and that’s definitely what I like in
music! This project strives for creativity. I like the electronic treatments
revealed at “Circular” and “Trilogie I”, but I’m also fascinated by the
cinematic experience at “Decibels” (feat. Black Sifichi). This song makes me
think of a ‘film noir’ experience. The song is accomplished with great effects,
guitar and a slow tempo. The low cadence is another essential aspect of the
work.
– – – :
The psychedelic
element of the album is not what I like the most, but it for sure injects
something special.
Conclusion:
2Kilos &More
remain a sonic chemistry mixing different elements to get a very personal
result! It however is not their best work to date.
