GUSTAV (THE STUFFED RED PANDA)


“Gustav (The Stuffed Red Panda)” is Fiium Shaarrk’s latest opus to find recorded form. Having been performed and honed into shape over the last 2 years, it typifies the group’s fascination with the dialogue between composed and improvised structure, the acoustic and the electronic.

Reviews for NO FICTION NOW!:

"Like famished animals whipped onwards by drum and hi-hat, processed electronically but gripping onto materiality by their fingernails. (…) Exhilarating."
Adam Harper, The Wire

"(…) you are essentially blind in a fighting circle of beats. But that's the thrill."
Kostas Lucas, DIY

"A behemoth of electronic and percussive dynamite that sounds downright terrifying"
Adam Reeve, Elusive Little Comments

"(…) a cerebral and visionary trio (…) a fascinating collision between the fragile, visceral textures of electronica, the percussively dynamic explorations of genre-bending rock and the wayward, maverick intensity of 20th century composers like Xenakis and Stockhausen. (…) Fiium Shaarrk's music is joyfully naïve, virtuosic (…) hypnotic, engaging and beguiling."
A Negative Narrative

"A crazier take on Humcrush, a blend of avant-rock, noisy free improvisation, and contemporary music. A dash of humour, a helping of zaniness, over a well thought-out and mastered foundation."
Monsieur Delire

"Call it Post-World-Beat (…), but with "No Fiction now!" Fiium Shaarrk delievers the most succinct and convincing entry in this fresh new genre."
Curt Cuisine, Skug


Live Reviews:

"(…) we're talking, or rather tuned into Fiium Shaarrk, and they just so happen to comprise two of the finest percussionists I've seen here or indeed anywhere (…) They're wholly worth watching."
Josh Holliday, Dots & Dashes

"(…) we were instantly treated to the sensation of having our bodies invaded by thousands of infinitely complex machine insects. It's rare that a band can have such an instant and disquieting effect, but Fiium Shaarrk's music, we discovered, is as unusual as their name in many ways. (…) They are one of the very few acts I've ever seen who can rival Autechre for inhumanly strange synaesthesic noise-making, but extremely distinctive too: an exciting proposition all round."
Joe Muggs, TheArtsDesk.com
