Outblinker from Scotland: Find Us
In 50 words or less, tell us what you sound like?
Cinematic electro-kraut with a punk rock heart. The huge, progressive influences of Godspeed You Black Emperor and Sunno))) The driving buzz of Neu!, Holy Fuck and TransAm. The nihilism of Fuck Buttons and Electric Electric.
In 100 words or less, tell us why we should listen to you?
We won 't tell you why you should listen to us but we can tell you why you shouldn't.
If you find out about new bands by going to Topshop or following Zane Lowe online, give us a miss. If you like tedious LEGO pop stuck together on Ableton to sell sports clothes to kids then don't listen to us. If you are offended by loud noises and abrasive electronics definitely don't listen to us. If you like your bands hidden behind laptops, again, ignore us. If you think Pharrell is an artist, leave us alone.
Other than that, we should get along just fine.
If you had to pick one of your tracks for our readers to listen to, which would it be?
Pink
Give us 3 bands you’d recommend we listen to?
The Cosmic Dead
Golden Teacher
What inspires your music?
Other music inspires our music. Especially the work of great artists who have gone before us, pushing their genres into uncomfortable new places. Taking risks and challenging their audiences.
We listen to as much angular noise rock as we do glitchy electronica and hopefully that comes across.
We are also heavily influenced by the ethos behind the various DIY scenes across the planet. The approach and work of Dischord and Constellation Records, for example, play as much of a part in Outblinker as any one group.
What we say:
Fucking great, awesome kick drums, edgy loops and and overall just a more organic feel than most dance music without all the bullshit. - Gavin
