Buñuel, a noise rock/post-hardcore supergroup consisting of former Oxbow vocalist Eugene S. Robinson, along with guitarist Xabier Idiondo (Afterhours, A Short Apnea), bassist Andrea Lombardini (The Framers) and drummer Franz Valente (Il Teatro Degli Orrori), have issued their new single, “Drug Burn“.
Timo Ellis (Netherlands) produced the group’s forthcoming double album “Mansuetude“. An impressive array of guests have signed on for that record, which will arrive on October 25th through SKiN GRAFT Records/Overdrive Records. Among those taking part are:
Jacob Bannon (Converge, Umbra Vitae)
Duane Denison (The Jesus Lizard, Tomahawk)
Megan Osztrosits (Couch Slut)
Andrea Beninati
David Binney
The group collectively said of this song:
“One of the steadfast rules the Hells Angels used to tout to members was NO DRUG BURNS. Which just goes to show, there really IS honor among, well you know. Following a wayward path to an even more wayward song Buñuel’s rendering of said BURN will make your ears (and eyes if you’re lucky enough to see the video) burn. Crunchy, melodic and harder than a lot of hardcore, it’s a travelog into places your mom told you to steer clear of.”
Valente weighed in on the band name, offering:
“Buñuel is a name that embodies a certain cultural and literary reference, which evokes an entire world. Like his films, our Buñuel is surrealism. We take the listeners into a place that’s suspended between dream and reality.”
Robinson added:
“What we’re doing with Buñuel is to carve out a very specific glimpse… partly into hearts of darkness, but more specifically into the depth of our secrets. Secrets we keep from each other, ourselves and whatever futures we’ve imagined for ourselves. We are ultimately trying to communicate something direct and deadly about the human condition.”
