Eckhart

Founded in Vevey in 2023 by singer/producer John Silvestre and drummer Laurent Glur, Eckhart is a Franco-Swiss project drawing inspiration from electronic, punk rock, hip-hop and industrial noise. Their sound is original and visceral, torn between danceable atmospheres, saturated synthesizers and frenetic rhythms borrowed from breakcore. Armed with abrasive and abundant instrumentation, Eckhart's music is cathartic, raging and uncompromising, recalling the universe of bands such as Death Grips, Chemical Brothers, Daughters and Psychic TV. After a year of production, the duo present 'Far From God', a debut album that lays the foundations straight away. Tackling themes such as alienation through entertainment, consumer society, hyper-communication, the commodification of human relationships, the loss of God and the quest for an effaced sense of wonder, Eckhart kicks the anthill.
