GIULIO ERASMUS & THE END OF THE WORM + KOU, AT VORN UND OBEN, EUPEN, BELGIUM, 03.03.2025"A reflex from the future on the past." - Victor Hugo
Two amazing concerts at the Galerie vorn und oben in Eupen, Belgium. Giulio Erasmus & The end of the worm performed at the 2024 Meakusma Festival, the recording of which was just released on tape and digitally on the Meakusma label. KOU is the musical project of the mischievous Apolline Schöser (limb of Nina Harker) and Thomas Coquelet (decades of experience in daring musical projects).
Giulio Erasmus & The end of the worm (Mangel – UK)
Over the past few years, Giulio Erasmus has been carving out his very own musical idiom, referencing the fragmentative cause-and-effect possibilities of soundsystem culture. Now accompanied by The End Of The Worm, they delve into heavy delay effects often cut short, metallic percussion, murky vocals, deconstructed electronics, and miniaturist melodies with snippets of the grandiose and the absurdly urban.
Giulio was a member of D.U.D.S, Handle, and released his first solo outing, Re-Adjustment, in 2021. His second album, called Second Attempt, was released to acclaim in 2024 and hailed as an extremely modern take on the possibilities of underground pop through the extended ripples of soundsystem culture. Through spirals of ideas, fragments, and experiment, Giulio Erasmus & The end of the worm build a vapourous yet focused suggestion of openness and endless possibilities.
KOU (All Night Flight, Aguirre, Animal Biscuit, BeCoq Records, El Muelle 1931, La République des Granges, U-BAC - FR)
Since 2020, Apolline Schöser and Thomas Coquelet (based in Lille, France) have been composing songs by transforming concrete music into lullabies. They know how to play fluffy guitars with the strings of a tightrope walker and how to turn unbearable cries into groovy rhythms. In this time of great deconstructions, observing them may make us witness the birth of music from a world before, during, and after chaos.
KOU is a bewildering experience, the good kind of confused. Not just a Dada splurge, but full of deliciously odd and genius pop sensibility. KOU rewires your brain for the better. Over the past ten years, you have probably already listened to Apolline Schöser’s music with the Nina Harker project. Thomas Coquelet plays in a plethora of bands and projects and is one-half of the eclectic label BeCoq Records.
