Origin: Australia
Music styles: Krautrock, Post-Punk
Based in Melbourne, E X E K made their live debut in early 2014.

As the name may suggest, the four piece present a degree of sophistication, where a merging of discipline with destruction allows for “passive aggressive, paranoid compositions”. Delivered patiently throughout their sets are loud bursts of guitar and synth, whilst a kraut-esque rhythm section provides insistent propulsion, which is indicative of dub production techniques. There’s a strong sense that the songs may break away/break down at any point, yet this reflects the bands vision of clinically composed chaos, echoing an appreciation of PiL and Swell Maps.
