Belgian art-rock band The Guru Guru are pleased to reveal a behind the scenes video from the studio sessions for their latest album Make (Less) Babies which is out now via Swiss label Humus Records in collaboration with French label A Tant Rêver Du Roi Records.
Kicking off their Make (Less) Babies 2024 Headline Tour this week in the Netherlands, the band will play a special one off UK headline date on 24th February at The Shacklewell Arms, London, with tickets on sale now (see below for full EU tour listings).
The band’s latest album Make (Less) Babies was recorded by The Guru Guru at Farrm Studio, Hasselt with assistance from Jasper Vanden Bossche. The album was mixed by guitarist Emiel Van Den Abbeele and mastered by Laurens Grossen Mastering.
Early singles ‘Lotta Tension’, ‘Saint-Tropez’ and ‘Make Less Babies’ were released in 2023 and the album received notable support from Classic Rock Magazine, PROG Magazine, BUZZ Magazine, Noizze, Bring The Noise, Soundsphere Magazine, and airplay from John Kennedy at Radio X, plus BBC Stereo Underground, Amazing Radio, Total Rock and more.
The band have also enjoyed newfound streaming success for the singles from the album at home in Belgium on Spotify’s New Music Friday, Ruig & Riffs and Indie Goesting playlists, with Apple Music support on New In Rock, New Music Daily, ALT CTRL and The New Rock.
Happily dealing in deep express art rock since 2012, The Guru Guru combine feverishly angular guitars with off-kilter poly-rhythms, all complimented by Adriaenssens’ trademark erratic and unhinged vocals. While their influences are drawn from the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, Radiohead, The Mars Volta, SOULWAX, The Jesus Lizard, and Andy Kaufman, the indie-math/psycho-noise rulebooks are decidedly torn apart, resulting in turbulent songs that somehow seem to develop into wriggling earworms.
Gracing the stage at PORTALS, Burn It Down, and ArcTanGent Festival in 2023, the band recently completed an extensive EU tour alongside French hardcore punks Birds In Row, Belgian noise rockers It It Anita, a sold out stint supporting Dutch alt-rock icons De Staat, and a slot with French post-punks The Psychotic Monks.
Tickets for their 24th February 2024 London headline show at The Shacklewell Arms on sale now.
