| Krapp Release Their Debut Album on Fluttery Records Krapp is an electro-pop band from France and they have just released their dubut album "A Void On A Cradle" on Fluttery Records. The label defines the album: "Imagine your kitchen, plenty of ingredients, but all recipes you've tried are boring and you want to taste something new. Krapp's songs are results of this culinary-chemical experimentation. You can hear bits and pieces reminiscent of jazz, rock, electro, pop, classical music. But the idea was not to fit in a category, but to explore, to experiment with sounds and create an original musical universe." Krapp enjoys using non binary rhythms and dissonant melodies. Drums are replaced by the chirping of crickets, or the crack of opening a can of coke. There is no limit in this sense, in the music of Krapp. Lyrics can remind surrealist modern tales or nonsense jokes. All is fine as long as the words suit the music and evoke different meanings and feelings. Kevin Brosse (alias Mr K., bassist, lyricist and singer in many bands as ENGINe, Krabben in Lake, Out of Focus) and Olga Svobodova (singer and saxophonist in Zel Wel, Strvfkjrb Beitobovitsch and Olgoj Korkoj) worked on Krapp since 2008, sometimes helped by Naxoprods' musicians such as Cédric Bouvet (sax from heraclite), Elodie Nicolas (multi-instrumentalist and fine artist), Florent Garnaud (guitar from Flying Penguins and wateringcan) who performed on the album.
