JeGong are back with their second full - length album, The Complex Inbetween 12. Their musical journey continues, drawing inspiration from krautrock, early electronic music, and experimental rock. Dahm Majuri Cipolla (MONO, Watter) and Reto Mäder (Sum Of R, Ural Umbo) put a fresh and dazzling twist on the classic music of genre pioneers like Can, Faust, and Neu!. They blend noisier and more intense elements, crafting a mind - bending odyssey into the strange. Born from the meeting of Mäder's free - flowing musical ideas and Cipolla's drumming skills, these eight compositions form a unique mythical world. Krautrock, often seen as mechanical, reveals its human side through Mäder and Cipolla's work. The driving beat of the album opener 'Come To The Center' is a very human rhythm, as Klaus Dinger of Neu! once explained. With Cipolla on the drums, the machine becomes human, showing the powerful hold rhythm has on us. Cipolla's drumming patterns have subtle yet significant variations. The tribal beats in 'Clear the Way' create a rhythm that echoes through time, from our African roots to modern techno festivals. His playing on 'We End Here, We Start Here' shows the high level of detail in these compositions. Like their debut, this album showcases the musicians' deep knowledge of their inspiration and their great skill in applying it. 'Night Screaming Moves' adds atmospheric drone rock elements, with a feedback - filled guitar and a slow drumbeat, evoking feelings of film - noir and 70s horror. Listening to these tracks is like a meditation. Songs like 'Former Wish' and 'Focus Defocus' take you on a journey between the conscious and unconscious. The music, like a de Chirico or Hockney painting, uses the power of what's not said. The album cover, with Rachel Bühlmann's amazing architectural photography, captures this sense of suspense. 'The Complex Inbetween' offers a detailed and vibrant sonic landscape. Whether you listen intuitively or intellectually, it's a deeply personal and communal experience that touches the core of our shared humanity.
To enjoy JeGong's album The Complex Inbetween 12, you can simply play it on your preferred music - playing device, like your phone, computer, or music player. Just press play and let the music wash over you. You can listen to it in a quiet place to fully focus on the details of the music, or you can use it as background music during relaxation time.
