Geo
Out Of Body
Post-punk/no wave oddity Geo are like a sentient slot machine: whatever seems happenstance is actually by design, and the more mismatched the moving parts appear, the more their music starts to make sense. Since the Groningen quartet's inception in 2019, they have built a framework of skeletal agit-funk, cartoonish chromatics and neoteric art punk vignettes - sketching negative spaces where chaos and cacophony can sound perplexingly catchy. 'Out Of Body' is an oblong snow globe utopia where dancing with two left feet is an actual custom. Out on Erste Theke Tonträger this collection of songs constitutes material Geo have been writing and performing when they first entered the circuit. These jitterbug, birdbrained post-punk spiels are in the spirit of gung-ho deconstructionists like The Contortions, The Fall and Gang Of Four. On 'Out Of Body' the band play emotions out against each other like some kind of absurdist Punch and Judy show.
