The electronic duo Skemer, existing out of model Kim Peers and AmenrA guitarist Mathieu Vandekerckhove, makes minimalistic dark- and coldwave constructions that are brutal and erotic at the same time. To pumping electrobeats Peers chants her dark vocals with her reverb drenched voice, fired on with the cutting postpunk guitar of Vandekerckhove. Skemer sounds extraordinarily dark, but beckons to the dancefloor of an industrial technoclub on their debut album ‘Benevolence’.
REGARDLESS OF WHAT SENSUAL IMAGERY ALLUDED TO FROM THE ANNALS OF CELLULOID, THE MUSIC’S DRONING DARK MELODIES ARE HAUNTING AND INFECTIOUS, NOT UNLIKE WHATEVER PARASITIC ORGANISM IS DEVOURING PEERS AND VANDEKERCKHOVE SEEMINGLY FROM THE INSIDE OUT. (post-punk.com)
On the 17 of november their second album ‘Toasts & sentiments’ will be released via the American Avant! Records (King dude, Nuovo Testamento, Lust For Youth). Another descend into the dungeons of the club. Together with Samhain we will transform Cactus Café into a jet black batcave for the evening.
