About the band:
10,000 Russos are a formidable force within modern psychedelia; their industrial psych/post-punk has been charming fuzz-heads across the globe with its stomping, shamanic mantras and otherworldly krautrock slant. Distress Distress follows the Portuguese trio’s debut album and recent split with The Oscillation.
10,000 Russos have once again transcended the boundaries of psychedelia as we know it today; their dark, droning noise is twisted, distorted and pushed to its limit and the brooding first single, “Tutilitarian,” gives us the perfect insight. The track is so ritualistic and industrial it see’s their usual post-punk sound – a primal and celestial mix of The Fall, NEU! and Suicide – pushed within an inch of techno territory with its metronomic, repetitive rhythms.
Psych-drone may be nothing new but on Distress Distress 10,000 Russos’ dark, warped psychedelia is transformed into something completely new and entirely immersive. Compared to their contemporaries – see A Place To Bury Strangers, Wooden Shjips, Moon Duo etc. – Russos’ voodoo noise is far less guitar-centred, instead it’s propelled by throbbing basslines, hypnotic chant-like vocals and repetitive stabs of oscillating feedback and loops.
