Over the years, drummer/percussionist Sam Ospovat has lent his talents to numerous projects, including Beep, Naytronix, tUnE-yArDs, Anteater and Kapowski, to name but a few. With PIKI, his solo project, Ospovat released a tremendous self-titled debut album in 2012, which remains a favourite of ours. So we were ecstatic to learn about ROOM, his most recent collaborative project with French guitarist and electronic musician Serge Rogalski. The pair have recently released a full-length album, La Malédiction du M, via their bandcamp. An album of absorbingly weird, rich and mostly improvised sounds, La Malédiction du M is an exceptional and powerful release that clearly showcases the duo’s talent.
To whet your appetite, listen to ‘Où les zèbres dorment’ and ‘Flashing candies under my tongue’ below. The first comes with an accompanying video. Enjoy.
