Album Notes & Community Reviews

The pseudonym of French musician Patrick Blain, Charles de Goal debuted with an icy, minimalist classic of the francophone post-punk scene. 'Algorythmes' pairs stark, repetitive drum machine patterns with anxious, staccato guitar lines, establishing a uniquely cold and mechanical atmosphere[cite: 1].
