Iibiis Rooge: “Coro-Coro”
The self-titled album on Dekorder from Iibiis Rooge, a collaboration between French jungle-droner High Wolf and British musical magician Neil Campbell aka Astral Social Club, balances the two musicians’ respective talents, creating a sound that is far from the lowest common denominator of their individual pursuits. The result is a gently fluctuating equilibrium; a combination of High Wolf’s tribal percussion and psychedelic melodies and Campbell’s pulsating, trance-inducing electronic landscapes, meshed in a way that exemplifies each musician’s influences yet is unique from either one’s solo work. The LP’s third track, “Coro-Coro”, is a harmonious unification of rhythmic repetition and morphing soundscape that flutters and floats through aural space, where elements of both Campbell’s and High Wolf’s musical interests manifest and blend to create something entirely new.

Wow this is v. cool and not what I expected. This is some of the best material I’ve heard from either group. I’m a bit more familiar with ASC than High Wolf but this is a very fruitful collaboration…hitting all the right notes and very accessible.
