Taxidermy

About

Taxidermy is a Copenhagen-based experimental noise rock/post-punk band, consisting of Osvald Reinhold (vocals, guitar), Toke Brejning Frederiksen (guitar), Joachim Lorch-Schierning (bass), and Johan Knutz Haavik (drums). Inspired by the tight nervous post-punk of the late ’70s and ’80s, the dissonant angular experiments of math-rock and no wave, as well as the minimalism and vitality of post-hardcore and emo, Taxidermy delves into the cryptic and disorienting, the claustrophobic and surreal, in their sonic explorations of the disquiet of contemporary existence. Fronted by Reinhold’s frenetic, tension-fuelled voice (perhaps reminiscent of singers such as David Thomas and Black Francis) - and through intricate, unpredictable compositions, raw and visceral textures, broad dynamic range, and intense emotional delivery - Taxidermy challenges the listener to confront the discomfort of the unknown, somewhat akin to contemporary acts such as Black Midi, Sprain, and Metz.
