Description
2022, 12″ EP, Emotional Response.
Elektronik Body Girl is the musical alter-ego of Shelbatra Jashari featuring production assistance from Brussels’s soFa. The Belgo-Albanian postpunk pair cooked up sounds that accompany an imagined dystopian industrial wasteland with tons of improv and lots of raw, jagged rhythm. Dealing with the “empowering feminine” and its representation were key to the vision of Jashari as well as abrasive textures and stark atmospheres. Her vocals touch on her roots in Belgium and Kosovo from an outsider’s position and label associate Toulouse Low Trax cooks up a brilliant beatdown mix to seal the deal. – Juno
