Berg Sans Nipple

The franco-american duo The BERG SANS NIPPLE consists of (but is not limited to) Lori Sean Berg and Shane Aspegren. The former is a suave Frenchman from the dirty rues of gay Parieee and the latter is a lanky Scandinavian-looking fellow who actually hails from the dusty plains of Nebraska. Once rumored to have been Siamese twins separated at birth (according to them, their relationship is really much closer to that of Ghost Dog and the ice cream vendor), the reality is only more mundane at first glance: two kids (both best known as drummers) trapped in a tangled mess of cables, keyboards, samplers, horns, bells, machines and drums. Since 2003 with their record 'Form of' they have established themselves as a key part in contemporary music being one of the most obvious links between IDM and post-Rock. The Berg Sans Nipple have a 'repertoire' going from hard post-Rock rhythms to chaotic IDM compositions with parenthesis of melodic tracks.

A peek below the music’s drowsy surface, however, reveals that there is actually an impressive amount of activity churning beneath. A lot of this music—Air, Boards of Canada, Dntel—billows forth in formless clouds, but the Berg Sans Nipple’s songs move with liquid grace. Themes develop, rather than just float in and out. An idea plinked out on a glockespiel resurfaces in watery synths on “Horse Shoes and Hand Grenades”; a buzzing army of video-game blips hijacks the end of the beaming indie-pop of “Along the Quai.” Aspegren and Berg flesh out the tracks with an impressive array of percussion, including bongos, glockenspiel, steel drums, and cascading rock drums, all without disturbing the album’s aura of mystery.
