The journey began 15 years ago as a trance experience between childhood friends Domingae and Diego from Santiago, Chile. Heavily informed by the heritage of the ancient music of the Andes, the band has learned to integrate their origins with contemporary sounds and technologies of our times, creating a rich yet minimal electronic-organic atmosphere.

FÖLLAKZOID grows via depuration, aiming with each record to fill longer spaces of time with fewer and fewer elements. And like the best techno, kraut, and psychedelia have proven throughout time, sometimes the most minimal framework is the strongest container for transcendence. Which is what FÖLLAKZOID have achieved with V, an immersive opus that takes the listener on a seductive journey straight to the dance floor.

Unlike past FÖLLAKZOID records, that were done in single takes with the full band, their latest record V took a month to construct out of more than 70 separate stems. Guitars, bass, drums, synthesizers, and vocals, were all recorded in isolation and German electronic producer Atom™, who was not present for recording, was then asked to re-organize the four sequences of stems without any length, structural restrictions or guidelines. The inherent possibilities were endless yet bound together by the inner logic of the game itself and by the spirits of the players. V is the exercise of telling an elaborate story about nothing, with the smallest number of words necessary. Listening to it, the heart-pounding bass, the bouncy beats and the melodies swirling in your head can sometimes feel like genuine hypnosis.

During their European tour this autumn, FÖLLAKZOID will bring this experience to the Grand Café Szeged.
