'An exciting blend of electronics, rock and ambient passages, the Belgian trio have gained prominence of late with their futuristic propulsions and has led to their music being described as Mogwai meets Kraftwerk.'
Antwerp's critically acclaimed Go March are pleased to announce the release of their sophomore album 'II' via Yokozuna Records.
The band's self-titled debut album released in 2015, made many in the electronic music world stand up and take note including Thump who said on the band's debut single 'Rise', "You might not know a huge amount about Belgian cosmic rockers Go March but hopefully that's set to change when you get your hands on their new single, a real motherchugger of a space-rock monster." The single also received plays on Steven Lamacq's BBC Radio 6 and Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio shows.
Across 'II', abstruse melodies merge with synthesised pulses and shuffling poly-rhythms, that evolve throughout each track. New single 'Chop Chop', clocking in at a cool 9 minutes in length, is an explosive blend of psychedelic, electronic synth rock that makes for an entrancing experience, much like the rest of the album. "'Chop Chop' was a bit alien, it started with an old drum machine I had that was bigger than a computer," recalls Go March's guitar wizard Philipp Weies. "I ran it through this filter and it went on for seven minutes, it got crazier and crazier and more distorted. Then our keyboardist, Hans, he found this sound, made it way faster, and we thought 'whoa' - then we had to keep up with the tempo."
The modular electronics and subtle sounds of 'Leopolderson' offer a slight reprise from the thunderous 'Chop Chop', while tracks likes 'Meristem' hint towards the proto-techno artists such as Manuel Göttsching and Giorgio Moroder who are obviously a clear influence of the band.
Go March provide minimalist grooves and haunting tones on 'Zabriskie' and 'Kalmar' and then the listener is propelled into a state of trance once more with the hypnotic sounds and pulsating rhythms of 'Bark', that bounds along at relentless pace.
Go March have performed shows across Europe and Asia including Benelux, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Czech Republic and Japan. They have supported such acts as Holy Fuck, Maserati, Trans Am, Föllakzoid and Millionaire.
The trio have received the remix treatment from the likes of Psychemagik, Shigeto, Peaking Lights and Dreams.
