Orgöne Sign to Heavy Psych Sounds; Mos/Fet Available to Preorder

Those seeking a preview of the kosmiche shenanigans to which French outfit Orgöne get up on their upcoming Heavy Psych Sounds label debut would do well to check out their 2018 live release, Anubis Rising (Live at Ubu Club 5/5/2018). It’s my first time hearing the band, and they sound like total noised-out freaks — or is that freaked-out noise? — so issuing the forthcoming Mos/Fet 2LP and bringing a bit of the weird to Heavy Psych Sounds makes sense. The PR wire lists it as their first record, but on their social media, the band notes one in 2016 called Hällo Späce Tertön and Anubis Rising (Live at Ubu Club 5/5/2018) both as “albums,” so I don’t really know what’s counting as what here. Sometimes when things get all spaced and avant-this-and-that, it happens on multiple levels and facets of existence. Dimensional planes, you know. There are a few of those around.

Album’s up for preorder and will be out on May 29. To the PR wire:

ORGÖNE – MOS/FET

Oh La La!! “MOS/FET” … what an album … 80 minutes of pure craziness: you can feel the flow of many different genres. The geniality and the genuineness of this band pop up really soon after the beginning of the first notes and riffs. There’s a background path made of prog-rock mixed with space-rock, avant garde and heavy psych. Everything is melted together with the wonderful vocals of the lead singer Olga. The french based band released four massive suites of 20 minutes each, made of different movements, this is absolutely a non-conventional debut album… that’s why HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS RECORDS was so astonished to release this incredible project. Heavy organs, synthesizers, hypnotic bass lines, gurgling, Arabian melodic lines… and much much more to discover inside this MONSTERPIECE!

2015 saw the meeting of Nick Le Cave (bass) and Marlen Stahl (guitar), veterans of numerous Indie-Rock, Free Rock and Rock In Opposition/Avant-Garde french bands. Together with Mat La Rossa on drums, they decided to create a « back to basics » rock band, in their hometown of Rennes (Brittany). This led to the birth of Orgöne in 2016, with the arrival of the wild French-Polish Olga Rostropovitch on lead voice.

Orgöne began to experiment and to explore many territories, mixing stoogian rock, noise-rock, krautrock « motorik » tracks, long impros… Those experiments led to a specific sound tainted more and more with psychedelic textures, space rock and noise elements, with progish hints.

Then in 2018, the departure of Mat La Rossa, who disagreed with the idea of long, epic tracks led to a radical but natural change : with the arrival of Allan Barbarian on drums and Tom Angelo on keyboards (both are also playing with the stoner band Djiin, who shared the stage with Orgöne), the band went almost back to zero and was then able to focus on long « Suites », with movements, in a prog-rock way, allowing the band to mix elements of tribal, arabic sounds, motorik rythms, organic space rock wall of sound and much more, in a very specific way. “MOS/FET”, their first double album, reflects all those experiments, in 80 epic minutes.
