Hip-hop collective Fax Gang virtually teamed up with the anonymous Korean post-rock legend Parannoul to imagine a world without genre limits.
The bitcrushing hip-hop collective virtually teamed up with the anonymous Korean post-rock legend to imagine a world without genre limits.If you didn’t know that there’s a shoegaze resurgence going on, I’m not sure where you’ve been. It’s not the first time that contemporary artists have looked back at the scene that celebrates itself, but over the better part of a decade, a shoegaze renaissance has emerged and shows little sign of stopping.
While the stickler definition of shoegaze is clear on process and sound, Gen Z’s approach to the storied genre is less about precise reproduction and more about modal transference.
As if the power of Fax Gang and Parannoul together aren’t enough, they call upon the talents of collaborators in their network. The pummeling “Wrong Signal” features Mudd the Student, the eclectic, Seoul-based rapper and TV contestant, and the dreamy coaster “Ascension” features the Rio Grande Valley-based artist agatka. “Ascension” starts with all the hallmarks of shoegaze: an avalanche of guitars, vocals barely understood but easily sensed, percussion that keeps everything tethered to reality.
Both Fax Gang and Parannoul have used their projects to share their own misgivings with coming of age and building a life, and on, they no longer feel like artists simply speaking to an audience; they feel like hallowed peers speaking to each other and letting us in on the one-of-a-kind conversation. It feels like a new dawn, an opportunity for something bigger than even today’s rock-electronic synthesis projects have hinted at.
