indirekt grell – Dancing with a Disease

South German trio indirekt grell release “Dancing with a Disease” via new basement. The band—two brothers and a bassist—comes from the Bavarian province of Bad Aibling.

Their sound sits somewhere between post-punk and something harder to pin down. The focus is on artistic expression—anything goes if it feels right or simply comes to mind. Lyrics lean toward abstraction while the music shifts from spherical sound clouds to droning DIY noise. Live, it floats but also grabs you. Concrete yet unclear. Complete chaos, then sudden reduction.

The enduring, natural bond between the members and their occasional basement sessions recall footage from the Slint documentary “Breadcrumb Trails.” They’re a classic trio that DIY subculture needs, yet one that refuses to be satisfied without expression and even more courage. The words together form a body, and the tones together are the chaos inside a head—until everything becomes quiet again and there’s space once more for new thoughts.

The band has already built a reputation through many live shows, following their blue cassette “ins Nichts” where angular guitars and math-rock beats first met in a basement.
