Föllakzoid

About

Föllakzoid isn't just a band; it's a sonic pilgrimage. This Chilean quartet constructs hypnotic soundscapes that transcend simple categorization, weaving a dense tapestry of krautrock rhythms, minimalist pulses, and psychedelic textures. Emerging from Santiago in the late 2000s, Föllakzoid quickly distinguished themselves from the city's burgeoning rock scene with their extended, trance-inducing compositions. Think Can locked in a geodesic dome with Popul Vuh and Brian Eno as special guests. Their sound is built upon repetitive, interlocking guitar riffs and driving basslines, creating a cyclical momentum that pulls the listener into a state of altered consciousness. Albums like "III" and "I" (reissued and re-contextualized) cemented their reputation as masters of sonic immersion. Their relentless touring schedule, including appearances at renowned festivals like Primavera Sound and Levitation, has solidified their cult following. Collaborations with figures like Atom TM have further expanded their sonic palette. Currently, Föllakzoid continues to push the boundaries of experimental music, crafting immersive live performances and hinting at new explorations into the outer reaches of sound. They remain a vital force in the global psychedelic underground.
