TAUPE (Glasgow-based) avant/polyrhythmia/free/skronk
Taupe’s concoction of free(math)avant(skronk) shifts between sour sonics, effervescent improvisations and sludgy doom-laden riffs. This Glasgow-based trio wield an almost spooky telekinesis, veering into taut metronomic precision from turbulent & unwieldy chaos.
Ever-informed by a DIY ethos, there is a wonky charm to Taupe’s music, bridging the nostalgic no-wave disorder of DNA or James Chance with the squeaky-clean precision of contemporary groups like goat (jp) or Horse Lords. Their performances rumble and pulse with a fun anarchic spirit which takes any pretensions or self-seriousness out to the woodshed.
It’s no wonder that their exhilarating sense of discovery has won them support from the likes of BBC 6 Music’s Freak Zone and BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction and Freeness, as well as appearances at festivals including REWIRE in the Hague and support slots with acts such as Deerhoof, Richard Dawson & Circle and Melt Banana.
Fizzing with ideas, Taupe prize surprise over all else.
Taupe featured on Adjunct Ensemble’s Sovereign Bodies / Ritual Taxonomy, The Guardian’s Contemporary Album of the Month May 2023.
“A radical expression of empathy, as stunning as its themes are crushing.” - The Wire
“A disorienting act of resistance” - The Guardian Contemporary Album of the Month, May 2023
