Taking its name from the forefather of Russian avantgarde painting, France’s Kandinsky is a guitars and drums duo that’ll make him proud. Last year I’ve listened to their “tRASKOMI eLCAÄST” MCD – don’t ask me what that means – which is a 25 minute piece cut into 9 movements. It’s a different take on mathrock with abstract compositions, a free jazz rock combo if you will. They’ve got a new split 10″ with another great named band Gentle Veincut from Frankfurt. For guys who don’t own a turntable like me I have to settle with the free mp3 from the new one “Oeusophage”, but now is the time to give a nod to the first effort of this lesser-known French band. Releasing all their stuff on Gaffer Records, also home to Talibam!, But God Created Woman and Sheik Anorak.
