PIONIER SERIÖS

 

I first came across PIONIER SERIÖS from the venerable Tape Attack blog some years back and I was hooked instantly. Their experimental approach to cold industrial sound instantly grabs you, and just screams German with every beat. They captured the rambling digital vibes of early CABARET VOLTAIRE, elements of pre-techno, and (accidental?) nods to SF pioneers FACTRIX, all while sounding like they were in the throes of some wild sexcapades, and all while creating a music that stands weird and proud after more than four decades. I next came across PIONIER SERIÖS when the folks at ZZK Tapes reissued Berlin in 2019 and I had all of those same feelings again, but mixed with the excitement of hearing it all again. You can still get physical copies from them...and you can have those feelings too.
