At first I misread the band name as Chatbot, but actually we are talking about Chabrot, a noise rock trio from Barcelona ​​consisting of real people—Arnaud Cayla-Xene, Guillaume Cayla-Xene and Alfredo Diaz Urdangarin—who have been making music together for over ten years. Their new full-length album is called Abilou, after a self-invented word to define an unknown place. Intriguingly, the record contains nine songs with more unfamiliar expressions, and the variety of structures, atmospheres and languages ​​makes it an adventurous listening trip even more. Whether you understand it or not, the galloping rhythms and gripping vocals are highly entertaining regardless.

Abilou is out now digitally (self-released)—so imaginative and original that a chatbot couldn’t have predicted it.
