Gym Douce
Boomkat Product Review:
Permanent Draft founders Valentina Magaletti and Fanny Chiarello extend their collaboration on 'Gym Douce', crafting a set of charmingly surreal fragments that bolster the label's wide-angled, cross-disciplinary manifesto.
Back in 2022, Magaletti and poet/novelist Chiarello introduced their label's themes with the stunning Horn of Plenty-released 'Permanent Draft' 7", and 'Gym Douce' continues the thought. Longer then its predecessor, the brief EP is no less playful; Chiarello's light-hearted, charismatic poetry appears like an overheard conversation on opener 'Pink Flamingo', uttered casually alongside Magaletti's fluttering instrumental impressions. Nothing sounds as if it's been completely planned or overworked, as if it's responding to dead-eyed, self-serious, cock-swinging experimental music with the opposite motivation: naive joy. And although they tighten things up on 'Russian Twists' with one-and-a-half minutes of quivering library giallo mischief, the duo's core directive never shifts.
When they launched the label, they assured it would be a space for "fragmentary, irrepressible creation eruption and lo-fi experiments", and that's exactly what we're served. Check the punk-y, technoid jam 'Reverse Fly', where Chiarello's pitch-altered voice robotically chants over Magaletti's electroacoustic drumrolls and fills, or 'Curtsy Lunges', that unexpectedly cuts from solo piano to a hypnagogic schoolyard singalong. Every nod to the experimental canon is countered with a poetic, tongue-in-cheek antithesis, and it's worlds within worlds: on 'Plank Hold', a Broadcast and the Focus Group-styled concrète workout is balanced out by unpretentious folk-meets-baroque cinema. Even 'Crab Walks', a snotty ritual dub transposition that sounds like The Slits' 'Cut' reworked by the Discrepant team, has its atmosphere ruptured by 'Bicycle Crunches' a mangled voice note acapella that reminds us not to get lost in the sauce.
