This is it, this is it! This is what the whole of Rotterdam has been waiting for; the World War EP Release party from Borokov Borokov! The only way to celebrate this is with no one other than Karel. Expect everything, expect chaos, expect a World War on the podium in Rotterdam, the size of Time is the new space.
Borokov Borokov
If anything could be called Borokov Borokov’s formula, it probably would be derived from the following quote: “First and foremost we make music that we ourselves want to dance to. Even when the music in question does not immediately sound like dance music.”
The result may resemble for example angular synth pop, … work incapacitated hi-NRG, krauttrock with a double ‘t’, supra-freudian elektrapunk, birthday-themed acid house, no-no wave, polyphonic panic attacks or multilingual lamentation. As if with each track, the band seizes a new opportunity to waltz out of the confines of its own straitjacket, albeit with no guarantee of success. By the way, they found their first drum machine on a rubbish dump in Borsbeek.
Karel
Songs about small topics, larger than life. Karel funnels synth pop and new wave into nostalgic tracks with anthemic qualities. Where the recordings take you into an intimate frame of mind, on stage Karel transforms them into an explosive kind of euphoria that’s un-seen nor -heard. When songwriting and performance align – once in a lifetime.
