Red Axes announce new self-titled album to be released on Dark Entries (Autarkic, Beatfoot and Adi Bronicki all make guest appearances).

Whats up? let\’s talk about something different, from the new wave of electronic genres and sophisticated sounds. The best moment to introduce the duo Red Axes in an article in this website for the first time.

Red Axes is a project created by Tel-Aviv based producers and DJs Dori Sadovnik and Niv Arzi. The duo has been performing together since a long time, first as members of the new wave / post punk band Red Cotton, and now, after some works in the underground psychedelic electronic scene from Tel-Aviv, previous albums, gigs in europe, and many more activities, Red Axes are releasing their third album entitled \”Red Axes\” on May 8th.

The self-titled record sees Israeli duo return to Dark Entries Records for what the label describes as a mix of post-punk, new wave and \’90s club sounds, all well crafted in a full-length.

This is Red Axes\’ third album in total—after LPs on I\’m A Cliché and Garzen—though its also reportedly the first one they wrote and conceived as a full-length. Autarkic, Beatfoot and Adi Bronicki all make guest appearances. They also recently celebrated their tenth anniversary as a band with a run of all-night shows, playing only their own material, called 100% Originals.

Album description. \”The album first track is ‘They Game’, a grooving track that unifies the psychedelia of cosmic disco with the early 90s ‘baggy’ sound. The energy mounts further with “Shelera”, a guitar-driven acidic banger, and “Sticks and Stones”, a certifiable club hit fueled by sassy vocals courtesy of Adi Bronicki. 

Launching Side B is the track “Break the Limit”, an EBM-laced song that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Razormaid compilation. The following tracks wax moodier, with “Brotherhood (Of the Misunderstanding)” touching on darkwave territory. “Udibaby” and “Arpman” close out the album with their respectively dense and sparse takes on kosmische lysergia.\”

Dark Entries will release Red Axes on May 8th, 2020, stay tuned for more and scroll down for full details. 

Watch the new official video for Red Axes – Sticks & Stones ft. Adi Bronicki, the first single of the upcoming album \’Red Axes´.

Overview. This year marks the tenth of collaboration for Red Axes, the Tel Aviv-based duo of Dori Sadovnik and Niv Arzi. Informed by post-punk, new wave, and a plethora of club sounds old and new, they have cleaved a singular path with their hefty discography. To celebrate their anniversary, they reunite with Dark Entries for an eponymous 11 track LP brimming with jagged guitars, spacy arpeggios, and hypnotic vocals.
Although Sadovnik and Arzi have previously released LPs on I’m A Cliche and Garzen Records, Red Axes is their first effort written and conceived of as an album-length listening experience. This work flows effortlessly through a variety of stylistic detours, highlighting their ears as both keen listeners and skilled DJs. Opener ‘They Game’ is a grooving number that unifies the psychedelia of cosmic disco with the early 90s ‘baggy’ sound. The energy mounts further with “Shelera”, a guitar-driven acidic banger, and “Sticks and Stones”, a certifiable club hit fueled by sassy vocals courtesy of Adi Bronicki. Launching Side B is “Break the Limit”, an EBM-laced number that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Razormaid compilation. The following tracks wax moodier, with “Brotherhood (Of the Misunderstanding)” touching on darkwave territory. “Udibaby” and “Arpman” close out the album with their respectively dense and sparse takes on kosmische lysergia.
Red Axes was mixed by Steve Dub and mastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios. The album’s artwork starkly depicts the project’s name in blood-red smear. Also included is a postcard with full credits and album art. It’s rare one finds an album that so casually challenges classification while still being firmly rooted on the dancefloor.
