LAUNCH EFFECT

Turbo Goth

Dis­torted bass synths, aggres­sively heavy beats, punk-jazz noise gui­tars, light icy vocals: all the rea­sons why the Philip­pines’ only elec­tronic duo have been com­pared to Daft Punk, Mew, and Bjork.

Onstage, musi­cian Paulo Peralta’s energy and ath­leti­cism is per­fectly bal­anced by ex-model Sarah Gaugler’s dra­matic, doll-like poses. A visual rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the way Peralta’s manic, dri­ving electro-bass dri­ven tracks carry the almost pas­sively icy cool vocals. All the dancy punk exper­i­men­tal­ism of a group like Crys­tal Cas­tles, but visu­ally much more appealing.
