Hectic drum grooves + bouncy Moog + distorted guitar + crystal voice = .▲

About

Two Belgians, one Hungarian and a Luxembourgish. Four musicians enjoying the exploration of a psychedelic blend of rock and trip-hop. At the crossroads of Radiohead, Damon Albarn, Modeselektor, Portishead and Miles Davis. The lyrics look very much like short stories. They are rooted in a more and more oppressive yet hopeful reality. Next.Ape have shaped their sound: a slamming snare drum, a deep bass on the Moog, a distorted guitar, some keyboards and of course a clear and charismatic voice. The groove is hectic and incisive. Improvisations give you goosebumps. It is impossible to remain static or indifferent. Their music takes you.
