“Drive” by Zoviet France

Every once and a while I stumble upon a hum from a factory, or whirl of a street sweeper and as they fade away, I wish I could hear those sounds again.  Zoviet France is a musical project that fabricates these earwig moments. Known for their use of dodgy instruments and poor gear, their recordings are uncompromising art installations of resonance.

 “Drive” is a wonderful example of this assemblage of sounds. It’s the second track on their A Flock of Rotations LP, released in 1987, and like other Post Industrial and Dark Ambient artists of the period, reverberates your senses.
​
This track isn’t for everyone but if you like early Cabaret Voltaire and experimental tape fiddling, A Flock of Rotations is an album for you.
