aufnahme + wiedergabe presents Odonis Odonis (live) [Felte] Claustrophobic Electronic Music www.odonisodonis.com Choke Chain (live) [Phage Tapes] EBM / Industrial www.chokechainebm.com aufnahme + wiedergabe DJs Embracing a love of ‘80s goth and darkwave melodicism while maintaining an industrial strength intensity, the dualities of their sound are revealed in a striking new light. With four albums under their belts, the Toronto-based duo of Dean Tzenos and Denholm Whale have always followed creative impulses wherever they might take them. Yet while tracing their earliest experiments with surf-rock and shoegaze into more recent dabblings in abrasive EBM, they have never sounded as sonically boundless as this compilation of tracks. Beyond their recorded output, ODONIS ODONIS have earned a reputation for the ferocity of their live performances, combining cathartic aggression with danceable beats set to pulsating strobe lights and the addition of live drummer Phil Wilson. CHOKE CHAIN is the solo project of Mark Trueman, taking influence from Industrial, EBM, Dark Electro, Goth and Punk. Piercing, frantic vocals accompany sinister and punishing soundscapes that never let up the intensity and aggression.
