Muuk officially premieres their new video for the track titled ‘Seis Ausente’. A wonderful mix of sonically jarring noises coming together in a beautiful sonic soliloquy, Muuk delivers their own brand of originality now combined with the dissonance of this new dystopian laced video filled with jarring images and quasi-disturbing subliminals that jar the senses and encourage thought.
About Muuk
Muuk is an experimental rock band born in Mexico City in early 2013. They are perfect mix electronic elements (turntable, sequences, synthesizers, acoustic drums and random audio samples) with traditional rock elements (guitar, bass, and drums). The result is a dense, thunderous and frenetic instrumental music. They usually use uncommon harmonies to create entrapping atmospheres and the improvisational passages that hurdle you through each track.
The middle has been very busy since day one.
In 2013 they recorded a homemade EP with which helped them start making appearances at the big open-air festivals with collectives such as Aquí no Hubo Escena, Colapso Post Rock, Lxs Grixes, Noise Affair, among others.
