Golem Dance Cult

Golem Dance Cult

Golem Dance Cult is an “Industrial Dance Rock” music project started by two (old) friends Charles Why (Losta Noise/Nexus/L-DOPA…) and Laur (Sparkling Bombs/Kevin K Band/VagueScare/Other-ed…) Charles and Laur had actually started their first band together when they were teenagers all those moons ago… They each followed their musical path and now, during these strangest of times, are reunited (Laur is based in France while Charles Why was in the UK and now in Australia) for a newmusical adventure under the moniker "Golem Dance Cult”. In their very first band together Laur was the drummer and he is now the main singer, sharing vocals duties with Charles Why, who is playing bass, guitar, cigar box, programming, sampling, adding various traditional instruments such as Shruti Box, Tibetan bowl, gong, rain stick, … while manning the production. The sound is heavy (both Laur and Charles are “sons of the mighty guitar congregation”) but danceable, a mechanic groove with soul and grit. One of the main parameters was that the intention needed to be spontaneous, instinct followed and mistakes expanded upon. A rock based approach without the formal structure of the genre and bringing an electronic approach in thelayering of the tracks.
