ITHAK

Ithak is the composer, singer and multi-instrumentist Seb El Zin (who released an album with Arto Lindsay, Marc Ribot, Mike Ladd and Sensational under the name The Anarchic Republic of Bzzz), with Fran�ois Sabin (saxophonist and multi-instrumentist for Amadou et Maryam, Marie-France, Chrissie Hynde...), Augustin d'Assignies (pianist and keyboard in various formations but also a talented opera composer) and the famous Erick Borelva (the impressive drummer who played for such various and great musicians and bands like, amongst many others, Archie Shepp, The Last Poets, Eugene Chadbourne, No�l Akchote, Julien Loureau, Sister Iodine...). Future music, stereo-sensual acid, dodecaphonic punk? Abdul Vector Von Hassid's crazy disciples share a kaleidoscopic and psychedelic vision of music, mixing psychopunk, hip hop, jazz, oriental, electro or contemporary music in a deconstructivist soup from which emerges a new, original and ever surprising sound...Just imagine a mix of Mr Bungle, Magma, Richard Gotainer, The Young Gods, Yolk, Arnold Schoenberg and James Chance illustrating a Mati Klarwein's painting in a weird poppy, psychedelic and punchy rocky way and it will give you a vague idea of what you can expect from this fantastic album!
