Brutalismus 3000 call it Harmony and then attack the room with neon machinery

Brutalismus 3000’s Harmony gets 1 July review attention, and the title still feels like a dare. The Berlin duo of Theo Zeitner and Victoria Vassiliki Daldas call their music nu-gabber post-techno punk, which is exactly the sort of phrase that sounds silly until the kick drum knocks the argument out of the room. Pitchfork notes that Harmony is co-produced with Boys Noize and Dylan Brady, adding pop appeal and B-movie drama to hardstyle techno that remains dystopian but not humorless. The record throws gabber, hyperpop, dubstep, electroclash, nu-metal and punk into a loud, jump-cut system of scrap-metal synths, air-raid sirens and adrenalized slogans. What keeps it from collapsing into pure edgelord chaos is the duo’s melodic instinct and weird sense of fun. Harmony may not be harmonious in any polite sense, but it sounds like release, impact and neon mischief at punishment volume.
