Yobrepus
A Rhizome Revolution Part 1
Norwegian art-rock quartet Yobrepus returns with a rock opera, 'A Rhizome Revolution', which will be released in two parts. In philosophy, the concept of a rhizome is used to describe something non-linear, with no apparent origin or hierarchy. In this first part, a group of rebels prepare for violence while the rich and powerful get ready to upload their consciousness to the cloud. Later, murderous AI drones roam the streets, and a high-ranking official gets tried for a genocide. Genre-wise the albums traverse everything from aggressive alt-rock to wistful folk, '60s-inspired prog and dark, '90s-tinged electronica.
