Upon pushing play, a murky industrial fog & tortured fuzzed guitars takes residence & disrupts the settled dust of the subconscious. An infectious injection

Marie Voss Thot continues to float down the stream of sound, carrying emotion and memories like pebbles and branches... every release adds to the richness of the current, delivering food to us, waiting of the banks. Such a pleasure to watch them grow into a larger river each time. They never disappoint.

Darknight First track in and I'm dancing like some kind of industrial lunatic machine, kind of like bender in Futurama. This kicks ass! Brilliant three track EP of post rock, post punk industrial stylie and it all sounds very spacey. Favorite track: Euphrate.

Euphrate 04:27 video
Mon temps est une plainte qui Se faufile parmis les doutes Je sonde ces notes envers et contre moi Ce rythme est une fuite qui M’emmène au loin la-bas Je me languis d’échos de mes premiers pas La pudeur M’a fait peur La pudeur cette connerie Ces âmes qui ne l’ont pas Elles bottent le cul d’une armée de cinglés Oui c’est bien loin de toi Ce courage qui nous résiste Noyés dans tes putains de larmes lamentables Nothing’s gonna refrain me Nothing’s gonna refrain me Tant de choses me retiennent Des racines aériennes Toutes ces notes ont-elles une chance de me secouer Je me tourne vers le ciel Profane tes souvenirs Je crache ma colère sur tes lois erronées Mon temps est une plainte qui Se faufile parmis les doutes Sonder chaque notes envers et contre moi Ce rythme est une fuite qui Rien ne nous arrêtera Nothing’s gonna refrain me I'm fighting for your soul

Bateleur 04:12 video
You can stay close to me arms wide open We are legion I’m gonna stay right here Dance terribly Sing like crazy Je fais feu de mon sort Je n’suis à bord ni tribord Et pourtant loin devant Queue de serpent La rage au corps Je persiste au crève coeur Ma table de chair, et ses 3 pieds Enracinés en sueur Point de traction, totalité Je vois les plaines d’antan J’aimais danser, les yeux mouillés Enfant chardon au vent Les collines comme continents Fidèle à la lumière Les saisons, comme religion Racines en pesanteur Je séduis ta gravité Cesse de rêver à ce grand soir Cesse de rêver à ce grand soir, c'est seul le soleil qui guidera

Following their 2017’s release "FLEUVE" & their recent cover of Pink Floyd’s “What Shall We Do Now?”, Belgian post-rock/industrial collective THOT returns with this 3 track EP written by the gang’s brain Grégoire Fray before the world froze in March 2020. These songs carry Fray’s obsession for electronic bass lines & heavy guitars, and witness the band’s journey which has been marked out by beautiful sinuous curves.

EUPHRATE is the entrance gate. Not only to this EP but to all the music the band has been cooking for these past 2 years. Here Fray embraces his mother tongue. In French he leads the song through a sonic puzzle gradually joined by the haunting voice of vocalist Juliette Mauduit around whom singers of polyphonic choir The Mystery of The Bulgarian Voice gather in an epic and swirling ending. Here, lyrics are inspired by women fighting for their rights.

The journey continues with BATELEUR (which name comes from a card of the TAROT), a 4’10” bass driven steamroller in which Grégoire Fray juggles with French and English to interpret what’s fueling his inspiration. As it evolves, the song reveals into a down tempo stellar hymn lead once again by Juliette Mauduit.

And finally, Juliette takes over on SLEEP ODDITY, a haunting ballad about urban loneliness, sleepless nights and astrophysics wonderings. The track then gets lifted by heavy guitars & grazing keyboard leads, and closes with Fray’s chameleon voice surrounded by waves of reverb & feedbacks.
