Bruxelles is a unique collaboration between the French experimental collective GOL, the inimitable vocalist and performer Mik Quantius (longtime member of the legendary German group Embryo), and percussionist/visionary Dave Nuss from the New York underground institution No-Neck Blues Band. Recorded in 2013 and released by Planam, this LP captures the trio in full improvisational flight, channeling the spirit of classic krautrock and the unpredictability of free art rock.
Across tracks like “The Flight Is Verdant And Pink” and “Sexmas,” the group navigates a terrain where spontaneous composition, dadaist vocals, and swirling electronics collide. There are echoes of Can, Amon Düül II, and Art Bears, but the trio’s chemistry is wholly their own—playful, raw, and never less than surprising. For fans of European avant-garde, underground improv, and the cross-pollination of scenes, Bruxelles is a must-hear artifact that celebrates the joy of creative risk.
