A Japanese electronic duo from the late 80s and early 90s that mixed ambient textures with industrial noise.
For a sense of their abrasive side, try 'Kongaragatta!' from their early 90s work. If you want to hear where they ended up, the more melodic soundscapes on 'Azabu' tell that story.
Necry Talkie's music didn't fit neatly into existing categories, which meant it drew polarized reactions for its harsh textures and themes of urban alienation. You can hear that confrontational approach on tracks like 'Kongaragatta!' and 'Yuruse! Hattori' from their early 90s period.
They released their first album, 'Fuzaketenaize,' in 1988, which included 'Ongakuga Kiraina Onnanoko.' Their work from that period, like the 1990 album 'Go-Gan' and 1992's 'Kodomo-No Jikan,' leaned into dissonant rhythms and atmospheric noise. By 1994's 'Azabu,' they had shifted toward more melodic, ambient soundscapes.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
