Experimental rock moves away from standard verse-chorus structures through improvisation, unusual instrumentation, strange rhythms and unconventional composition. The category has included artists such as the Velvet Underground, Captain Beefheart, Sonic Youth and Brian Eno, but it has no single fixed production method.
Florence’s Atomik Clocks split bass, drums, saxophone and synth into two different working setups. Boston’s Main Era built a record after the band moved under one roof. Austin’s Fuck Money treat the difference between the recorded band and the live version as part of the project itself.
Madrid’s Loma Baja break down “Piscinas Verticales” track by track, while Granite Hands bring jazz, progressive rock, funk and math-rock ideas into the archive. IDIOTEQ also connects experimental rock with post-rock, noise rock, progressive rock and instrumental music.
