Descartes A Kant
What's it about?
Descartes A Kant Equal parts punk, metal, pop, shoegaze, and cabaret, the critically acclaimed underground sextet Descartes a Kant (Guadalajara, Mexico) has made a real name for themselves as an otherworldly, unpredictable, and theatrical live attraction. So much so that even the Wall Street Journal noted that “trying to describe their music only harms it. It’s loud, sassy, incredibly imaginative, sophisticated, witty, and wild; as if the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were led by Albert Ayler and conducted by Frank Zappa.” They are considered one of the leading forces of the vibrant, constantly changing Mexican experimental underground scene and are now ready for greater international recognition. Led by strong female figures, their first two releases Paper Dolls (an intense and bipolar hardcore album with short songs, an ode to multiple personalities) and Il Visore Lunatique (a tribute to psychiatric disorders, ranging from hip-hop to a bizarre Broadway-like musical) led them to thrill both club and festival audiences around the world – including in Mexico, the USA, Russia, Brazil, etc. – sharing the stage with The Melvins, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sonic Youth, Explosions in the Sky, and Slayer. Descartes a Kant return in 2023 with a new studio album, After Destruction. The release is scheduled for September 29th in all formats; this concept work creates a narrative arc that explores the cycles of existential creation and destruction. After Destruction portrays psychological discomfort in a compulsively hyper-communicative but emotionally isolated society – with retro-futuristic aesthetics, destructive guitars, synthesizers, and soulful melodies. As a satire on contemporary emotional consumerism, the band integrates an automaton figure into their line-up: The DAK, an innovative machine for repairing emotional damage, which appears both on the album and live in interludes. Restore your life after a catastrophe? Turning your pain into a work of art has never been so easy. The first single, the album's title track, was released on July 27th on all platforms, along with the corresponding video clip directed by Gamaliel de Santiago and choreographed by Mauricio Rico. A second single, “A Catastrophe,” appeared on August 31st, accompanied by a lyric video animated by Nespy5euro. Modula Nation Modula Nation is a striking fusion of experimental, psychedelic space rock, combined with heavy industrial riffs, complex rhythms, and rich grooves. The group was founded in Graz and is one of the most promising rock bands in the Austrian underground scene. The progressive rock quartet from Graz delivers pulsating space-rock odysseys that take the audience on a psychedelic journey through various musical worlds. Modula Nation has had the honor of sharing the stage with legendary artists such as Molotov, Tito & Tarantula, Mother's Cake, KMFDM, and Skinny Puppy. The project emerged from earlier musical formations of singer and multi-instrumentalist Heinz Wallner and his long-time companion and bassist Ricardo Paz. Their friendship and shared love for a wide range of musical genres, combined with nightly jam sessions full of brainstorming, helped to develop the band's individual sound. Other band members who complete Modula Nation's musical vision are Philipp Pluhar on drums and electronics, and Markus Steinrück on guitar. The recording and production phase of Modula Nation's long-awaited debut album titled THE RIFT is now finally complete. The album will be released in 2026 via Tonzonen Records (Germany). Below fi
