Gutura ~ France


Des êtres au Cerveau Apparent (1980)

Gutura's sole album features an anguished and fast paced instrumental post-punk music,combined with distorted lead guitar and a chanting manic female voice who blurts out nonsensical wordless sounds. Very French. What I mean by that is France is the only possible country an album like this could have come out in 1980. Closest band that I can think of that sounds similar is Noa, another French band of course, though Gutura are definitely more harsh in their approach to rock. In reality, Gutura are one of a kind.

Ownership: 1980 Sterne (LP)
