L’Eclair + Schau Schau

Proof that student life isn’t just cheap beer and bad decisions. What started with a keyboardist and guitarist meeting in London grew into a five-headed groove machine back in Switzerland. L’Eclair sounds like cosmic disco crashing into krautrock, funk and molten synths — all locked into a hypnotic jam session. They shift from earthy grooves to full-blown electronic lift-off without missing a beat. Feels like time-travel with a pulse. Live, it’s the ’70s shaking hands with the future. Their new album CLOUD DRIFTER floats even further off the ground. And you can come along.

It’s 2020 and corona brings everything to a halt. Luckily, Kalle Wolters and Maarten Huizing find each other again. Out of the longing they felt grows Schau Schau. Their sound? Rhythmic, pulsating, wave-like – as if you’re being pulled into a night that never truly ends. Wavy postpunk with a strong ‘80s edge. Think Talking Heads, CAN and Echo & The Bunnymen, but also modern-day heroes like Parquet Courts, Corridor and Preoccupations.
