Acidgurken by Masala Monet
What do a naked sadhu in the deepest Himalayas and the oldest techno-temple in Phnom Penh, Cambodia have in common? At first glance, not very much, but the sextet "Masala Monet" uses both as a source of inspiration for their sound. The love of music and travel connects the six dudes from the Bavarian province and so they naturally merge exotic sounds with the most diverse musical varieties. Here psychedelic electro-dub meets free jazz or traditional blues is suddenly shot to pieces with a crooked beat and a snotty punk sound. Music is like a good curry - it all depends on the right mixture of spices. Masala Monet does not skimp on the seasoning and is eaten hot. Bon Appétit!
