IGORRR – amen – CD digipack

French multi-instrumentalist and producer Gautier Serre has been operating under the name Igorrr for twenty years now, yet each new record still resounds with a startling freshness and radical vitality. Steadfastly unclassifiable fifth album Amen maintains this impact, blindsiding the listener with a new set of exploratory curveballs and continuing to surprise and unnerve even the most attuned enthusiast.
This album is definitely darker than its predecessors, it has such a very weighty and solemn vibe that has never been reached before in Igorrr, explains Gautier. « The fact that I recorded a real choir in a church helped this a lot, but above all there has been very long and meticulous work on the sound and the choice of instruments, and deep experimental research to create a unique sound design. Of course, because it’s an Igorrr album, there are some more colorful tracks, like Blastbeat Falafel, ADHD etc…they contrast very much with the ambient heaviness. I need tracks like these on an album, it helps to really get through it fully focused, like a shot of limoncello before the next meal. »
Gautier has always made clear that Igorrr is as much about the influence of Bach and Chopin as it is about Cannibal Corpse, Aphex Twin and Meshuggah.
