Ak'chamel, The Giver of Illness on KEXP!

04/09/2026

New vinyl out August 28th!

After many requests to reissue the seldom heard cassette EPs and VHS releases, Akuphone compiled this archival release which illuminates the group’s early development from 2008 as enigmatic practitioners of post-apocalyptic folk and ritual psychedelia.

These recordings capture Ak’chamel’s signature sound in its most primal form: thoroughly f*cked lo-fi production, warped tape hiss, detuned instruments, and melancholic hysteria captured on cassette.

Ak’chamel, The Giver Of Illness capture l’essence du temps qui percute l’esprit des hommes, voyage mystérieux sur les traces de l’exode forcé, parsemé de fantômes tombés sous les balles de gardes-frontières tétanisés par l’inconnu.

Spiritually Unemployed nous entraine dans des lieux nés de la mixité, mélange de cultures et de folklores, de traditions et de coutumes, traversant l’espace et le temps chargé de poussière et d’ombres effacées, de reflets noircis par l’espoir et de visages dessinés par la fuite en avant de femmes et d’hommes cherchant à percer les rouages d’un futur rongé par l’abolissement des droits fondamentaux du droit à la vie.

Ak’chamel crée une oasis aux allures d’asile pour folklores déviants, échappés d’une dimension intemporelle aux frontières zébrées de couleurs explosives, où les ouds et les percussions, les cornemuses et les violons, les flûtes et les voix, s’habillent de psychédélisme déglingué, images technicolores pour imaginaires aventuriers. Vital.
