Laibach – MUSICK

Description

The legendary Slovenian group’s first original studio album since 2014’s ‘Spectre’, ‘MUSICK’ is intensely pop, yet intensely Laibach.

This record simultaneously celebrates and critiques the current era of warped reality and AI imitation. The title reflects a duality: an oversaturation, being ‘sick of music’ in an age where over 100,000 new tracks, many AI-generated, are uploaded daily, making us question reality; and a ‘pathological devotion’ that continues to drive the band.

The maximalist creation process in Laibach’s Ljubljana studio involved analogue synths, toys, computers with sound apps and collaborators like Donna Marina Mårtensson and Richard X. They draw influences from K-pop, J-pop and 1990s Eurodance, yet maintain that their “primary influence and reference point remain Laibach itself.”

CD in Ecopac with lyric booklet. LP pressed onto Neon Pink coloured vinyl.
