Closing a three-year gap since their bewildering The Briefcase EP left jaws swinging, NYC-based BANGLADEAFY returns with their ripping new set of tunes encapsulated on Narcopaloma.
The origin of the BANGLADEAFY moniker fuses the Bangladeshi descent of drummer Atif Haq with the physical hearing impairment of bassist/pianist/vocalist Jon Ehlers, as he along with two sisters were been born with sensorineural hearingloss. The duo interlopes endless runs and rhythms with intense time changes and otherworldly texture with utter seamlessness.
Closing a three-year gap since The Briefcase EP left jaws swinging, the BANGLADEAFY duo slams back onto the grid with Narcopaloma. The record is drenched in the synth elements that have permeated the outfit’s prior works, including segues bridging each track, and while BANGLADEAFY songs are largely instrumental already, Narcopaloma is virtually void of any vocals. Narcopaloma was engineered and mixed by Jonathan Vergara at Pancake Studios, with Atif Haq’s drums having been recorded by Mike Gatto, and all bass, samplers, and keys tracked by the band’s Jon Ehlers. Narcopaloma crams seven new tunes into a white-knuckled fifteen-minute ride through Weirdo City, delivering BANGLADEAFY’s manic, bass and drum-driven attack with even more brain-warping arrangements than before. Progressive fusion meets cyber annihilation in brutalizing grooves that take the listener by the throat and drag one through a psychotic 8-bit video game holocaust.
Narcopaloma will see release on CD and digital formats through the band’s cohorts at Nefarious Industries on August 26th. BANGLADEAFY has booked a Brooklyn record release show on August 25th, with many other live announcements to be expected.
BANGLADEAFY is also already currently immersed in the writing process for their next release. Steady updates are to be expected throughout the year.
