At one time, cerebral music found its place of choice in the middle of the dancefloor, a utopian space where club kids and punks danced hand in hand. Rank-O's music exudes the same freedom and creative power. While the Tours-based band consists of three guitars, a drum kit, and four vocalists, it was initially around the sound of a drum machine that its members (also seen in Nour, Yacht Club, Electric Vocuhila, or Anna) found their way: the Yamaha RX7. Rank-O navigates between historical no-wave and post-punk, with a masterful layering technique inherited from noise rock and shoegaze.
