The Quietus reviews GNOD's La Mort Du Sens

They say:

About a week ago, my friend Mike and my partner Kristen and I were searching YouTube for a moderately perverted German cartoon about a cat detective when the “listen again” queue caught my eye. There it was, the thumbnail of the music video / skate vid for Gnod’s grindingly heavy single, ‘Pink Champagne Blues’: a skateboarder crumpling mid-bail, nothing if not a perfectly composed HD rectangle of agony.

When it comes to skateboarding, I’m an idiot moth repeatedly singeing my antennae on an energy-saver bulb. As a thing, I can’t recall being unaware of it, although I clearly remember being transfixed by my much older cousin, in vert pads and bright shorts on a Vision board, freestyling in his driveway. I remember my seventh birthday, in the fall of ‘86, when he taught me how to skate. Skateboarding wasn’t cool then, and it especially wasn’t cool where I grew up. It certainly wasn’t socially accepted. It was a fringe thing, a type of flat-out rejection, an ideal way for a certain sort of kid to clearly articulate their philosophical position – “NO” – simply by being. I was never really any good, but I loved it then and I love it now, thirty-seven years later...

Birthday Cake for Breakfast reviews GNOD's La Mort Du Sens

They say:

Though this is musically the complete opposite of the previous record, there are still equal levels of depth and intensity to be had on this new long playing effort from Salford based collective Gnod. We’ve had a few releases in the three years since the last Gnod album, but in terms of a proper record, 2018’s ‘Chapel Perilous‘ felt like an even more expansive trip into Gnod’s ever psychedelic experiments. But to me, ‘La Mort Du Sens‘ leans on the more urgent, noise rock stylings of 2017’s gargantuan ‘Just Say No to the Psycho Right-Wing Capitalist Fascist Industrial Death Machine‘.

With the music recorded in a mill somewhere in Manchester at the back of 2019, ‘La Mort Du Sens‘ was completed last year with most of the vocal sessions taking place over lockdown. As expected, this is a record brimming with this ‘what the actual fuck is going on‘ attitude, as we cascade through seething vocals, walls of fuzzy guitars and an ever urgent rhythmic section...

GNOD's La Mort Du Sens is released today

“A lurching slab of cathartic post-psych ferocity.” The Quietus

“A brutalised statement of art and of intent.” Terrascope

-

Today sees the release of GNOD's latest album 'La Mort Du Sens' – 5 tracks of ferocious psych-punk-noise for your soul.

Go to your local shop and pick up a ltd edition 'blue vinyl', – or if you are lucky, try to find one of the very special 'Dinked' versions. The band will also have ltd edition 'red vinyl' versions on sale at their up-and-coming shows. The album is also available on CD and you can pick that up from Bandcamp:

Bandcamp

GNOD are finally hitting the road this month, so do not miss the chance to blow those cobwebs in your ears away:

Nov 11 / Preston / The Ferret
Nov 12 / London / Studio 9294
Nov 13 / Margate / Elsewhere
Nov 14 / Brighton / The Hope and Ruin
Nov 15 / Bristol / The Lanes
Nov 16 / Cardiff / The Moon
Nov 17 / Leicester / The Soundhouse
Nov 18 / Leeds / Mabgate Bleach
Nov 19 / Glasgow / Nice & Sleazy
Nov 20 / Newcastle / Brave Exhibitions Festival
April 29 (2022) / London / Desert Festival

-

If one overarching feeling has dominated the last two years on this orbiting rock, it’s uncertainty. A sense of an old order in ruins, and nothing lined up to replace it. With societal strife, psychic warfare and sheer boredom assaulting us from all fronts in this still-fresh decade, co-ordinates have been hard to place forging a path forward. Therefore, who better to turn to as a soundtrack for this tumultuous new era than GNOD - longtime chroniclers of discord.

Masters of an approach which manages to be both unmistakable and unpredictable. GNOD are now well established as prophets of the dispossessed. ‘La Mort Du Sens’ is no less than another relentlessly invigorating stop-off on their wild ride to who knows where.

Alison Cotton announces her next album to be released on Rocket

We are thrilled to announce that Alison Cotton will release her next album on Rocket in 2022.

The news was revealed in this great interview with Alison on The Quietus:

The Quietus

We at Rocket were completely blown away by Alison's last album 'Only Darkness Now' which was released on Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube – it was easily one of our favourite albums of 2020, so to be releasing the follow-up, the third album proper is a a real privilege for us!

The forthcoming album is called 'The Portrait You Painted Of Me', sadly due to the current chaos of vinyl manufacturing we are confronted with we do not know when the album will be released yet, but we will announce release details and share some first music from it when we can firm up a release schedule. Like Alison's previous albums, this new one will also be released via Feeding Tube in the States.

In the meantime, if you become a subscriber to The Quietus you can hear  nearly twenty-minute piece by Alison called 'What You Told Me On That Journey In The Horse & Carriage' as part of their Singularity series.
