We’re very excited to introduce HYENAZ<\/strong>, the other-wordly, gender-straddling new project from TUSK<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The beats and basslines lift from early house, EBM and R&B; the vocals from soul, blues and prog-rock; the lyrics are punk poetry, cutups \u2014 the calls of a cybernetic siren. Synthesizers are built from discarded scraps of metal and 90s nostalgia. Their performance, their visual art and their texts cull from the discarded fabrics of their surroundings, felt and reinterpreted through their bodies. HYENAZ<\/a><\/span> are one, defiled and immaculate, their androgynous flesh quivering on the thin edge between the digital and the divine.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For a glimpse at the HYENAZ universe, watch the video for “Cypher”, in which a transgendered Pierrot morphs into a humanoid hyena. It’s a weird, and oddly placid, clip, for the least singley-single imaginable, but as an introduction to the cosmic, androgynous duo, it’s sheer perfection:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And if you want to hear the intergalactic boy-things channeling the spirit of Anne Clark, listen to Hyenaz’ first single “Sister”\/”Reading”:<\/p>\n
