Pales

For fans of... Massive Attack, Sonic Youth and Dry Cleaning."Expect the unexpected." The motto of Tomi Ungerer, Strasbourg's enfant terrible, could have been written for Pales. Born in the depths of a cellar in 2021, the quintet has no time for classifications: they forge a raw, visceral sound where industrial, noise and trip-hop collide. Brought to European attention with their EP CRUSH, the band have built their reputation on stage, where their performances induce an irrepressible trance, constantly skirting the boundaries of chaos. The sound hits hard, hypnotises, triggers spasms and conjures up the smells of cosmetics and burning rubber.
