Gnod + MC Sissi announce album

Less than six months after Gnod rewired their sound for the umpteenth time, with the release of deliciously detailed deep listener 'Spot Land', they’re back with another album and a whole new approach.

'Inner Fucking Peace' comprises eight tracks for voice and electronics – varied in style but connected in feeling, and recorded as a trio. Chris Haslam and Paddy Shine, the two ever-present members in the Gnod lineup since their first stirrings in mid-2000s Salford, are completed by Portuguese vocalist MC Sissi.

Watch the video for 'Perde-te Onde Quiseres', the first track to be revealed filmed by Paddy Shine and edited by John O'Carroll below:

'Inner Fucking Peace' is the first time MC Sissi, or Cecilia de Fatima dos Santos, a very well known name in Portuguese experimental circles has recorded with Gnod.

From the minimalist tuned percussion of ‘Stop’, to the shuffling beats and spaced-out synth on ‘Perde-Te Onde Quiseres’, to ‘Get Out’ and its ominous electronics and crashing industrial drums (combined with Sissi’s irate-sounding vocal, here Gnod are on a tip that compares to great Bristolian duo and recent touring partners Harrga), to the supremely chopped&screwed woodwind that’s central to ‘Flute Theme’, to ‘Reprise’s hypnotic handdrum workout, to ‘Tea & Eggs’ – ten minutes of reggaeton-gone-minimal-synth – to ‘Olivia’, named after Sissi’s niece and the track’s guest vocalist, to ‘Cannela Crematoria’ closing us out and hitting a zenith of gloominess with some more industrial battery folded in… this is a full on Gnod vibe shift that also makes total sense in their infamously extensive discography.
