“Post-everything grindscapes… Avalanche Kaito is a fully functional hardcore transmission, channelling solid state spirits in abrasive, glitching tongues.” --The Wire
“Irresistible avant-Afropunk” --UNCUT[info sheet from distr.]

Polyrhythmic futurism, raw epiphanies, Burkinabe parables. A rattling ritual of ecstatic nois. Avalanche Kaito: the exhilarating combination of Burkina Faso born urban griot Kaito Winse and fellow experimentalists Belgian guitarist Nico Gitto and French drummer/producer Benjamin Chaval. This transnational avant-rock trio created waves with their visceral self-titled 2022 debut, bagging notable festival appearances (Supersonic, End of the Road), a KEXP session and much deserved critical and audience enthusiasm. Their new album Talitakum, is deeper and more sonically varied, revealing an energy and spiritual weight that has undoubtedly emerged from the group"s incessant touring. The live shows are indeed revelatory, twisting and turning with an unexpected intensity and collectiveness. It is a arresting, shapeshifting sound that spins freely from ancient griot traditions to full-throttle thrash (with many stops in between).[info sheet from distr.]
