ATP Recordings is pleased to announce our newest signing Mueran Humanos, the Argentinian duo based in Berlin, made up by Carmen Burguess and Tomás Nochteff. The band have just been added to ATP & Jake and Dinos Chapman's curated Nightmare Before Christmas festival line-up, and will be releasing their sophomore album "Miseress" on ATP Recordings on November 27, continuing their post punk, industrial inflected synth explorations first introduced on their 2011 self titled debut album.
Having created Mueran Humanos in 2006, Carmen and Tomàs embody the classic counterculture tradition of an "us against the world" couple driven to greatness through their love of each other and their passion for art. Aptly described by Sean Ragon (Cult of Youth, Blind Prophet Records) as "a postindustrial Lux and Ivy, a garage rock Chris and Cosey, or even a psychedelic Johnny Cash and June Carter."
Burguess and Nochteff share the vocal duties, all sung in their native Spanish, but with an emotiveness that transcends any language barriers, with the band's artwork made by Burguess carrying a voice just as distinct as their music, and the eerie, sometimes disturbing, imagery functioning as its perfect accompaniment.
Choosing to forego computer based writing, the band opt instead for stretching and perverting an instrument's presupposed purpose. This way, the very basic line up of Mueran Humanos; bass, synths, drum machines and sampler, generates their personal sound.
