We once wrote about Guinæpig's music, "This is not a time for pared back restraint. This is the time for electronic excess” and his new album ‘Incongruous’ certainly encapsulates that, visually and musically. A very good way to start 2023 on TONN, with the brand new album by Guinæpig, out now on a striking new cassette, that’s a feast for the eyes and the ears.
GRIMDELUXE
We are delighted to present our final release of 2022, a very special new album by Grimdeluxe. ‘Donker’ showcases Grimdeluxe at his best, as Max Koppmanschap’s sonorous vocals convey an emotional honesty that underscores the every track. With its infectious melodies, danceable beats and synth that shines, ‘Donker’ is an absolute gem.
