Gaffa Ghandi to Release Artificial Disgust April 24 on Exile on Mainstream

Anytime Exile on Mainstream signs a band, you can rest assured that said band isn’t going to be like whatever you were listening to immediately prior. The long-running German imprint has an enviable taste for nuance and individualism in acts, but seems to persistently find those who don’t sacrifice quality for the sake of being bizarre. From Treedeon to Conny Ochs to Bellrope to the periodic collaborations with Wino, there’s always going to be something distinct about whatever it is that comes along with their stamp of approval.

Gaffa Ghandi, then, immediately pique interest. The Dresden-based instrumentalists seem to blend progressive heavy noise and psychedelic ranging — because of course they do, right? — and they’ll make their debut through Exile on Mainstream April 24 with Artificial Disgust, which would seem to be their second overall long-player behind 2015’s Record of Success. Their otherwise most recent release was a 2016 split with Tourette Boys on Setalight Records and you can stream “Psychedelic Mode Activated” from that below.
