Description: The weightier side of noise rock receives a fresh infusion of excellence through an upcoming collaboration between two exceptional underground bands. The Swiss group Coilguns and the esteemed French outfit Birds In Row unite in a new collaborative EP. A prime example of this partnership is found in the freshly unveiled, You & I In The Gap, an intense track propelled by searing vocals, soaring guitars and hard hitting drums.
Coilguns guitarist Jona Nido comments, “You and I in the Gap" stands out as the most spontaneous track on the EP. Throughout the seven days dedicated to writing and recording, our primary focus was on what we considered the "main" tracks. However, with a bit of time left, we embarked on the creation of "You and I in the Gap," a track characterised by its almost mono-riff and heavy sound. On the last day of the session, we initially decided to forego producing it due to a lack of time for recording vocals. Little did we anticipate the magic that Louis (vocals) could conjure. In the late afternoon, he composed lyrics, worked quietly on his own, and at 1 am, just as all the gear was neatly packed away, he surprised us. He appeared with one of those child synths that require blowing into a tube to produce sound. Louis executed one take of pure noise, evident at the beginning of the track. Then, he grabbed the microphone and delivered a single vocal take, leaving everyone in awe of the performance, a moment we preserved exactly as it unfolded.”
