SEEKING THE VELVET presents Le Miroir EP, Mechudo latest work in collaboration with the related artist based in Toulouse Elenaq, whom having worked together before in his previous band Noise Rock Tourmalet.
This Madrid duo formation dates back to 2018. After a trip to ADE festival, where Nacho Tourmalet and JAVILOSTCONTROL decided to create the electronic project Mechudo. In 2019 released a double single "Digitisierte Schleife / Ágyptische Göttin", chosen by MondoSonoro as one of the best self-releases of these summer. They continue with their trajectory in 2020, despite being a cursed year, with the publications of the singles "COVID-19" and "Benidorm 1984”. Demonstrating that not even a pandemic was going to stop their desire to create music, thus reaching Cora Novoa's label for their most anticipated release to date.
In Le Miroir EP we find tracks like “La Cellule”, “Mégot”, “Petite Marie”, which together with the evocative voice of ElenQ, manage to collide head-on with resounding electro bases, raw lyrics and incisive sounds.
The release is a reminiscent of the best electroclash and is close to the sound of artists like Miss Kittin & The Hacker or David Vunk.
