Geins't Naït - Get's [Klanggalerie - 2023]

Get’s is the second album from the French experimental duo Geins't Naït. First released in the year 1988- it’s a seventeen-track album, which blends dense ‘n’ murky industrial electronics, with hacking beat scapes and weird/ surreal sound texturing. All making for an overwhelming, crude, odd, at points disorienting ride. 

Here from Klanggalerie as part of their reissues series of the band's albums- is the first ever CD release of Get's. It comes presented in a glossy four-panel digipak- cover artwork wise we get a monochrome overlaying of what looks like a stick figure & drum drawings/rubber stamp. 

The seventeen tracks have runtimes between just under a minute and nearly seven. It’s a weird ride of a release- where you don’t know what to expect next.  In the first half, we move from the blunt plodding bass synth purr & wondering wow-wow of “Sleep”. Onto the stripped-back roughshod beat-scape gallop meets moodily rolling & swirling synth noise texturing of “Zone”. We have the skittering/ fumbling tone patterns &  merged vocal skip/ radio reeling glitch of “Desormais” . Or the urgent pulsing synth meets weird hissing/ sweeping tones of  “Always”.

In the second half, we have the hazed ‘n’ drift ambient bass wonderings, lo-fi grating, and sudden sped-up talking of “Beautiful Machine”. We have the messy drum hiss ‘n’ smash meets feedback like the horn honk of “Lorry”.  The album plays out with the slurred dirge of  “Avant Tout” with its wind-up & down percussion, fairground organ plod, and later loose slamming percussion.

Get’s is the third release I’ve heard from Geins't Naït, and I’d say it’s the most abstract and murky. It’s great to see Klanggalerie reissuing this album, and I do hope there are more Geins't Naït reissues in the pipeline.
