Importantly, like its predecessor, this is not a predominantly electronic record. Those sounds have a real deepness in the emotional range, and combined with heavy music, it's something which took me very deep into myself, and which pushed me into doing tracks like 'Downgrade Desert', 'Camel Dancefloor', 'Himalaya Massive Ritual' or 'Overweight Poesy'.' At no stage was there any plan, embracing the freedom offered in the wake of achieving Savage Sinusoid and going wherever ideas took him, embracing a small army of specialist musicians to help him attain his vision. It's something I've been extremely attracted to.

'No idea where it comes from, but the colors of those sounds inspired me a lot. These 14 tracks are a journey through different states of mind I've been through.'Īdmitting that upon starting work on the record he lacked confidence in realizing it - 'I was not sure at all of what I was doing, where it was gonna lead, or if I would be able to make an album with it or not, I was just following my instinct and seeing where it might reach' - one influence pushed through and is a prominent part of Spirituality And Distortion: traditional eastern music. 'Getting stuck in only one emotion is very boring to me life is a wide range of emotions - sometimes you're happy, sometimes you're sad, angry, pissed off, nostalgic or blown away,' states mastermind Gautier Serre. Slamming together disparate musical styles ranging from death and black metal to breakcore, Balkan, baroque and classical music in a manner that is as unconventional and unpredictable as it is thrilling, Igorrr are unlike any other act, and Spirituality And Distortion displays just as broad a range of emotions as sounds. With 2017's Savage Sinusoid, Igorrr more than proved to be a truly unique musical force - and 2020's Spirituality And Distortion cements that well-earned reputation.
