An instinctive and organic album, inspired by the meandering paths of infinite decimals and the smoky ambiance of New York cafés, "Pictorial" is a captivating soundtrack to the cult film by Darren Aronofsky (notably the director of Requiem For A Dream), originally performed live by the Swiss quartet during a cine-concert at the 2300 Plan 9 festival in 2017. The result? A 90-minute work of original music from which the band has distilled the essence to deliver "Pictorial," a raw extraction where hypnotic atmospheres gradually take hold, transporting us into a realm where the dark, neurotic chaos of feedback coexists with soft, melancholic limbo. Entirely recorded live at Studio Mécanique by Boris Gerber and mastered by Magnus Lindberg (Cult Of Luna…), "Pictorial" serves as the first installment of a discographic diptych and presents itself as a fragment of KILLBODY TUNING's DNA. A tribute to a sonic youth, an alternative folk, and a certain idea of music from a world that may be definitively gone... For fans of STELLADRIVE, FROM OCEANS TO AUTUMN, and CARONTTE.
