Egopusher

Egopusher are a Swiss, instrumental Electronica duo consisting of Tobias Preisig (violin, synths) and Alessandro Giannelli (drums, synths). Their sound is a mixture of elegant, analog Electronica, with a touch of Neo Contemporary. The project started as a string of late night conversations which took place in Tobias' vintage BMW, while the two of them would drive back together from gigs, as session-musicians with Dieter Meier's Out of Chaos (note: Dieter Meier is one-half of the legendary YELLO). The official beginning of Egopusher can be traced back to their first show as a duo, a fully improvised affair which took place in November 2013.A visually turbulent, crimson, coastal sun set is nature's equivalent of an epic flick. It's also one of the most potent forms of anodyne. "Blood Red", the debut full-length from Swiss Electronica duo Egopusher, is like a score that was composed to an anamorphic, technicolor rendition of this mind blowing light spectacle, except that this movie plays out in the mind's eye only,and is triggered by a steady dosage of highly affective sonic painkillers. In that sense,listening to this record is a deeply transformative, cineastic experience.
