The Devil & The Universe [AT] + Support: In Atlas

Vi fejrer halloween med goat wave fra The Devil & The Universe! The Devil & The Universe:In the musical vortex of utopian visions and wishful dream images of a future past!

The new album from THE DEVIL & THE UNIVERSE whirls its way inside the ears of their audience, stirs up imaginations and carries you away.
Conceptually, GOATopia is based on such great utopians as Thomas Morus. His novel "Utopia" from 1516 is considered to be the starting point of the genre which formulates a possible future way of life or social order. Thomas Morus tells of a fictional island kingdom where new social concepts are lived. THE DEVIL & THE UNIVERSE use ideas like these and create their own goat utopia. In a world out of balance, the Viennese band is reluctant to face dystopian predictions. They unmask the spectre of the future to put the goat mask on it.
The result sounds electronically entranced with thundering drums. The goats devour Krautrock, chew it with relish and spit it out again as a tribal sphere with spoken word samples.
THE DEVIL & THE UNIVERSE now look back on nine years of band history. In 2013, Ashley Dayour and David Pfister founded the band, which Stefan Elsbacher complemented to a trio. In the beginning the band focused on musical experimentation with magical systems. It's still firmly inscribed in the band's DNA.
With their mixture of soundtrack-like ambient sounds and driving beats, their goat masks and unmistakable humour, which especially shows in their visual representation, they drummed up a loyal fan base.
On GOATopia, THE DEVIL & THE UNIVERSE pick up the psychedelic feeling from the previous album :Endgame 69: and add new musical sounds. In doing so, they remain true to their principle, always finding new ways of expressing and not repeating themselves, even after nine years. Despite all the innovations, fans will recognize the unmistakable goat wave style, for which THE DEVIL & THE UNIVERSE are famous. The feet and hooves will twitch, for sure!
With magic, occultism and a healthy dose of self-irony, GOATopia hallucinates the missed opportunities of the past without mourning them. Utopias are created, destroyed and rebuilt again. Utopia is dead. Long live Goatopia. Viva! GOATopia!

+ Support: In AtlasCopenhagen-born artist In Atlas seamlessly weaves together electronically driven synthpop and darkwave, imbued with a dark disco sensibility. In Atlas pushes the boundaries, keeping this otherwise nostalgic sound fresh and contemporary. She released her debut album, 'Venus Forever' in 2023 as a tribute to platonic love.
In spring 2024, her second solo album, 'Where The Wildflowers Grow' has been released on Italian independent record label 'She Lost Kontrol.' The album is concerned with emotional liberation, serving as a testament to the strength of emotions and the journey towards embracing one's own highly sensitive nature. In Atlas is an explosive performer and her sets are often tailored for the occasion.
She is also part of the Greek/Danish electronic post-punk outfit 'V.V.I.A.,' which has attracted attention in the Athenian underground scene in recent years and has released tracks on labels such as Women of V.V.I.A., Meta Moto, Phormix, and Vinylopgraph.https://www.facebook.com/inatl...------------------------------------------------Entry: 135 kr (limited amount early-bird on sale until 30th of april!) / 155 kr in pre-sale / 175 kr at the door!
