“Gâtechien’s music is raw, stark and harshly compelling.
Bassist/singer Laurent Paradot torturously carves out leads
while spewing agonized grunts, groans and syllables that don’t
sound like words in any language, or occasionally humming along
with his own bass parts. Drummer Florian Belaud’s complex beats
make up in energy for what they sometimes lack in precision he
and Paradot have enough rapport that a third band member would
be unnecessary. The songs are disjointed in structure but flow
intriguingly from one dark melody to another. If they were more
polished or polite, Gtechien might be just another math-rock
band, noteworthy only for their lack of guitar – but the brutal
vocal antics alone would keep them from putting anyone to
sleep. For an overall impression of Gâtechien, a bad
translation of one opinion about the duo is quite apt: “This
group is likely to put a good slap to you”.
