Someone in the back might be shouting that the world is coming to an end, but Ciccio & 2mo dive on. Exploring the divide between French psych and industrial music and their contemporary manifestations, they employ rhythmic straightforwardness and complexity combined with pulsing and warm electronics. Confrontational and soothing, huge rooms full of images, optical illusions, and not. Disenchantment and satisfaction. Not fearful of overstatement.

Ciccio & 2mo have released two albums on The Trilogy Tapes. With Francesco Pastacaldi on drums and Olivier Demeaux on machines, they make their respective instruments switch registers at all times, which makes for a confusing yet highly propelling sense of lysergic lethargy. This recording of their live performance at the 2024 Meakusma Festival shows them in full strength. Overpowering, not shying away from very recognizable emotions, but often undermining them, utilizing a musical language that is as subtle as it is in-your-face. There is room for detail, almost absurdist or contradictory detail even. A netherworld of auditive delights. Accept the reality of any phenomenon later. Strike a match and take a bow.

Live At Meakusma Festival 2024 manages to capture in detail Ciccio & 2mo's enchanting spirit. Theirs is a musical omniverse that speeds up and winds down at will. It references past influences but resets them in modern ecstatic fashion.
