KLARA LEWIS AND NIK COLK VOID - FULL ON

Released: 30/06/23

Having been blown away by Klara Lewis and Nik Colk Void’s gig at Café Oto last year, the duo’s debut album couldn’t come soon enough – and, boy, was it worth the wait. The perfect marriage of Swedish experimental composer Lewis’s iterative, shape-shifting electronics and ex-Factory Floor vocalist Void’s ferocious-yet-playful beat-driven aesthetic, Full-On displays the glorious possibilities of abstract electronic music across 17 tracks (they don’t hang around) that take in guitars, synths, Euro rack modular systems, voice, sampling, and outboard processing. Lewis and Void simply make ear-crushing, wildly imaginative, coruscating, Throbbing Gristle-hat-tipping electro-noise of the highest order, and I truly hope that this is but the first of many records to come.
