Minami Deutsch – Minami Deutsch LP

Repress! Formed by Kyotaro Miula (guitar, vox, synth) in 2014, Minami Deutsch’s sound is influenced by a love for krautrock legends such as CAN and NEU!, as well as a fascination for repetition and minimal techno. The music proceeds straightforwardly with the Motorik beat (Hammer beat), devised by Klaus Dinger (Kraftwerk, Neu!), as its central axis. Humorous, yet bizarre Japanese lyrics are whispered over a hard, cold beat that is maniacally repeated, creating a pleasant ambience of electronic pulses drifting in space. Sharp guitar tones reminiscent of Michael Karoli (Can) occasionally explode into fuzz distortion, on the verge of collapse.
