INFO< br>

Known for their rhythmic sensibility and curious melody, the quintet weave together a futuristic soundsphere where electronic wind instruments, drums , electric bass, synthesizers and turntables combine with Pollock-like abandon, creating a style that while heavy on groove has enormous depth and intrigue.

The band's third studio album, 'T(h)reats', takes inspiration from a ser ies of explosive live shows in 2019 and is a reaction to the current situation w e find ourselves in; art and music can be a treat in these strange and uncertain times. "After hours of talking, philosophizing and fantasizing about what the n ew approach of the record could be, nothing concrete came up. Then we just start ed making music to see where we'd end up like we've always done. As a result, in this day and age, with this group of people ... this is what happened," says th e band.

From the warped, off-beat rhythms of 'Cigogne' and harmonic w eirdness of 'Honu' to the deep space funk of 'Cumulus', where mutated drum patte rns and vivid atmospherics loop together in a bold adventure into sound, STUFF. flex their muscular rhythm across 'T(h)reats', pushing the sound in to new dimen sions. Elsewhere, 'OB499' is a mesmeric mass of dark chords and uneasy bleeps wh ile 'Kwibus' is a skittish fusion of stuttered beats and ambient distortions.

STUFF. released their debut EP in 2012 and in 2014, they were invited t o perform a Boiler Room session for the prestigious global, online music broadca sting platform, the first European live band to do so. Releasing their self-titl ed debut album in 2015 to critical acclaim, a sold out tour across Europe gained them further recognition and saw endorsements from BBC radio DJs Gilles Peterso n and Phil Taggart. The follow-up album 'old dreams new planets' released in 201 7 topped the charts in Belgium.
