MДQUIИД are a surprising novelty; for the youth of their project – they appeared in the fall of 2021 – one expected a half implume creature, but the truth is that the single “2”, which they released for the occasion of their emergence, is a decided and daring flight; It’s 10 and a half minutes of trance via motorik-mode drums and ghost-voices (Halison), of sullen and jangly bass riffs (Tomás), and of an angry guitar (João) subverting the repetition squareness with delay drags and noise stabs. In the making of the single, it must be said, they were sponsored by Chaby (Mighty Sands/Spring Toast Records), a guy with an unusual sensitivity and interest in what makes a mesh sonically special compared to everything else, which, they will surely agree, has contributed to the early maturity of this three-headed engine. In a nutshell, MДQUIИД try to reproduce, in classic guitar+bass+drums power trio format, the aesthetics that are generally associated with body music, industrial and techno, building diplomatic bridges between the dance music crowd, the psychedelics and the punk crowd, a bit like what 10 000 Russians have been doing internationally.
