Pelagic Records is proud to unveil 'Gomi Kuzu Can', the bold and genre-sculpting new album from JeGong, the collaborative force of Dahm Majuri Cipolla (Mono) and Reto Mäder (Sum Of R.). Known for their immersive, rhythm-driven explorations of Krautrock and experimental sound design, JeGong now take an exhilarating leap into brighter, nostalgically stranger territory.
Across eleven meticulously crafted tracks, JeGong embrace their roots while fearlessly expanding into neon-lit, beat-driven worlds where kinetic rhythms meet playful sonic futurism. It is music built for movement, contemplation, and the ecstatic strangeness of possibility. Their approach borrows the endurance and patience of minimalism, but they subvert minimalism’s austerity with grit, distortion, and physicality. The result is music that feels alive in motion: constantly shifting, tightening, unfurling, and mutating even when its core pulse remains unbroken.
Where the band’s previous work focused heavily on hypnotic repetition and densely textured atmospheres, ‘Gomi Kuzu Can‘, introduces a buoyancy, an almost mischievous sense of colour and motion. Cipolla’s drumming, long admired for its emotive precision and understated power, becomes a living sequencer here: crisp, driving, and engineered for propulsion. Mäder’s analog synths, tapes, and electronics weave around this rhythmic backbone with a vibrant palette. But make no mistake, this is JeGong through and through. The duo’s command of dynamics, texture, and sonic narrative remains intact, even as they steer into danceable BPMs and bright, retro-futurist tones.
In the end, JeGong’s sound is less a genre and more a landscape: rugged, hypnotic, austere, and strangely spiritual. It is music built on the bones of rhythm and the electricity of repetition, crafted with the precision of engineers and the instincts of explorers. With ‘Gomi Kuzu Can‘, they reaffirm their position not only as sonic technicians, but as creators of immersive, transformative environments that demand and reward deep listening.
