Belgian analogue duo Borokov Borokov has unveiled their new single, ‘Alles’, featuring the voice of Lara Chedraoui (Intergalactic Lovers). Balancing raw analog sequences, imposing chants, and hypnotic synth loops, their new output embodies a relentless push and pull within a post-apocalyptic dream.
Born from a surreal, feverish dream of one of the band members, ‘Alles’ is both visceral and haunting, raw yet ethereal—an all-encompassing sonic punch to the face, while luring you into the post-apocalyptic unknown. Fueled by a raging dichotomy—like fire and water—the single thrives within a dreamlike setting.
“A weird and wonderful cocktail of styles, unpredictability at its finest.”
Crack Magazine
Powered by Tim Caramin’s (Youniss) fierce drums, pounding like industrial machinery in full swing, raw analogue sequences, imposing chants, distorted effects, and hypnotic synth loops converge in a relentless rhythm. ‘Alles’ is the first track taken from their upcoming EP, ‘World War’, and captures the raw energy of the band’s live performances.
By incorporating live musicians and co-producing with Youniss Ahamad, the single showcases Borokov Borokov’s signature blend of chaos and artistry. The EP is set for release on February 28 on vinyl and all digital platforms via Magma Records. It comes with a wild – a dance between intense choreography and melting typography.
“Free-wheeling machine funk and gritty drum-machine rhythms”
XLR8R
Reflecting on the dream that inspired the track, musician and half of Borokov Borokov Boris Van den Eynden describes its atmosphere:
“God is Dog, is All, is Lucifer, is a bubble bath, and the stainless steel kitchen machinery that punishes and pleasures us—the flawed caretakers of humanity. He reveals in this lustful torment, whistling merrily atop the
BOROKOV BOROKOV
sound of train wagons being pulled and pushed. A relentless clatter that echoes the endless human death drive, like a metal kettle emitting an eerie tune.”
The self-directed videoclip accompanying Borokov Borokov’s new single ‘Alles’ is a montage that presents a divine choreography that simultaneously serves as a typographic composition. With each frame, archetypal characters are compelled to be reborn through a new font.
“There is no such thing as a Fireman,
Boris van den Enyden
only the endless process of firemenning… until nothing but ash remains.”
