OXX (DK)
Oxx is a Danish avant-hardcore band, it’s a mess, but it’s fantastic. Here a distillation of bluegrass, death metal, free-folk, and film scoring all filtered through the confrontational aggression of hardcore. The result is a vortex of undulating tempos, relentless vocal frenzy and flailing limbs. Their latest album, The Primordial Blues (2023), is structured around desperate and ecstatic perversion in the face of modernity. A sonic approximation of being pissed while being beaten to death with a novel by Thomas Pynchon.
Oxx spiller avant-hardcore, altså noget fantastisk rod, her et destillat af bluegrass, dødsmetal, free-folk og filmmusik filtreret gennem hardcorens konfrontatoriske aggression. Det skaber malstrøm af hårdhændede tempi, vokalgalskab og flagrende lemmer. Deres seneste album, The Primordial Blues (2023), itonesætter desperat, ekstatisk perversitet i mødet med det moderne. En auditiv tilnærmelse af at være hæmningsløst beruset mens man bliver tævet ihjel med en Thomas Pynchon-roman.
