Mersaultmusic are named after the great nihilist and drawing together a disparate and internationalist cast. The London-based group played their first show in November 2005. Less than a year later, they joined forces with Fleet Street Records for their debut release. Taking the three-minute-long-song as a point of departure, mersaultmusic toy with the regularities of the format. Wiry and interwoven guitars, idiosyncratic vocals, pulsing bass and man-machine drums play out a familiar verse-chorus march. Meanwhile, cyclical arrangements, frantic bursts of alien guitar noise, and canned atmospherics find their way into the mix. All this aside, the aim remains to create great rock music.
