Mangene (feat.Eugene S.Robinson) releases debut EP ‘101 Atomic Terms And What They Mean’ – Out now
Mangene
Mangene – an experimental Berlin-based project of Eugene S. Robinson (Oxbow, Buñuel) and Manuel Liebeskind – just released its’ debut EP, “101 Atomic Terms And What They Mean”. Their debut EP is available now via the Basel-based boutique label A Tree in a Field Records.
The debut EP comes accompanied by a series of videos that will successively be released over the following months. The EP is available from now on here.
“I’ve hated this record for as long as I’ve loved it”, says vocalist/lyricist Eugene S. Robinson. “Hated it because it tapped right into the portions of my brain that I hide, not only from you, but also me, the singer. So, listening again? Disturbing and painfully true.”
Manuel Liebeskind adds: “When you work on something as long, hard and deep as we have, your ability to see it as anything other than a colossal act of a sort of suicide is inevitable.”
Beyond their own projects, such as 16-17, The Smoking Word, and Mangene, the duo has collaborated with an impressive array of artists. Their roster includes legends like Barry Adamson, Peter Brötzmann, Lydia Lunch, Marianne Faithfull, Marian Gold, Jaki Liebezeit, and Melt-Banana.
Their latest release draws influences from a wide spectrum: the raw energy of synth-punk and electronic noise icons like Suicide, The Chemical Brothers, and The Prodigy, alongside elements of ‘80s synth-pop, classic hip-hop, and even touches of Billie Holiday and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. Contemporary classical influences include work from Ligeti to Stockhausen.
