Pionneers of the
electro-noise scene
|
Like many other unique creators, the young gods
have never let trends or fashion interfere with their music...
Thats why, since 1992, the trio from switzerland cultivates
its own sound, its own ryhm and its own world that has naturally
grown and evoluated through the years to become one of the
most inpredictible and powerful outlet in the worldwide sonic
turmoil.
From their early mixes of new wave, stooges-like
powertrip and electronic ambient (furiously captured on their
87 first lp) the young gods have covered a large scale
of yesterday and today music that incorporates organic sounds
from outer space in (leau rouge), elements of
classical music (in the play kurt weil,. Or heavy metal
satire (in the amazing tv sky in 92)... that has never
overloaded their major songwriting talent. A talent that reminds
us today of such soulfull and poetic artists as the doors.

After a live album (live sky tour),
came in 95 the overwehlming and worldwide success
of only heaven (signed on interscope u.s and produced
once again by roli mosimann) a record that proved
that the band was not just another industrial outfit, but
one of the most important musical channel of the last decade.
With six albums to date, the young gods have created
a magical universe of sound, landscapes and emotions
attracting a huge and eclectic following, still surprised
by the many different aspects of their music.
In 98 after being involved with various projects (al
comet and heaven deconstruction) al and franz
parted company from long time drummer üse. But
the young gods soon recruited another long time friend bernard
trontin to join them in their journey and they started
a new european tour to melt themself in a new form of blood
rush, mind and sweat live experience.

Back in their hometown in 99, the
pionneers of sampling started building their own studio
and locked themselves in to work on new songs, a long and
awaited process of creation that as usual will be as unioue
as the fusion of three free electrons.
Today, with the electronic overdose, the out of focus rock
world and the multicultural melting pot, the young gods
returns with one of their most unanticipated and strong
album to date, "second nature" (produced
by the band itself), an unclassable flow of digital and
organic emotion showing the band at its highest energy,
pure and simple.

Through such strong tracks as lucidogen
(the first slngle) "attend" , the mindblowing
"supersonic" or "the sound in your
eyes" and astral journeys as "in the otherland"
, "love 2,7" and "toi du monde"
the young gods have proved their relevance and their
will to push the wall of sound forward.
