STOICH – rejection of pleasure – press kit

Driven by a relentless pursuit of innovation and artistry, STOICH transcends the boundaries of traditional hip hop, delving into uncharted sonic territories where musical evolution knows no bounds. This visionary project emerges as a collaborative effort between two eclectic musicians, DRUNKEN CHILD (vocals/lyrics) and XNDL (production/turntablism): to push the envelope of what’s possible in the world of advanced hip hop.

At the heart of STOICH lies a commitment to experimentation. Audiences can expect a rich tapestry of diverse sounds, intricate rhythms, and thought-provoking lyrical narratives. The project melds genres, fusing elements of electronic, jazz, dark ambient, and even world music to create a sound that is simultaneously avant-garde and accessible.

 

Led by XNDL, a visionary force in the experimental music scene, STOICH promises to challenge preconceived notions about hip hop. With an emphasis on live instrumentation, intricate production techniques, and socially relevant themes, each track invites listeners to journey into unexplored realms of consciousness.

 

DRUNKEN CHILD & XNDL share their vision for STOICH: „We’re not just making music; we’re crafting an experience. We want to engage our audience on a profound level, sparking conversations and emotions through our sonic expressions.“

 

The project’s debut album, ‚rejection of pleasure,‘ slated for release in 2024, serves as a testament to their ambition. Featuring tracks such as „mystics“ and „downsouth mexico“ ‚rejection of pleasure‘ promises to be a mesmerizing voyage that challenges convention while honoring the rich heritage of hip hop.

STOICH invites you to join them on this exhilarating journey of sonic discovery. Be prepared to have your senses awakened, your mind expanded, and your soul moved as you dive into the uncharted waters of experimental hip hop.

STOICH will release this album exclusively physically, on vinyl and tape (extended version) and are still looking for partners regarding production and distribution.

The album is available on stoich.bandcam.com
