JeGong, the collaborative force of Dahm Majuri Cipolla (MONO) and Reto Mäder (SUM OF R.), have today announced their bold and genre-sculpting new album “Gomi Kuzu Can.”
“Gomi Kuzu Can” will be released 27th February via Pelagic Records — and the duo have released the first single from the record, “Patterns.”

The band comment: “‘Patterns’ is our way of playing with repetition and motion – musically and mentally. The track feels like running through familiar spaces that constantly reshape themselves. That tension between nostalgia and forward momentum marks the beginning of the world of Gomi Kuzu Can. In the accompanying video, this idea is taken further as dream and reality merge, enhancing the sense of moving within a flowing cycle between inner perception and outward motion”.

Known for their immersive, rhythm-driven explorations of Krautrock and Experimental sound design, JeGong now take an exhilarating leap into brighter, nostalgically stranger territory.
“Gomi Kuzu Can” is an electrifying journey through Kraut, Post- and Experimental Rock, delivered with the analogue warmth of the ’70s.
Across eleven meticulously crafted tracks, JeGong embrace their roots while fearlessly expanding into neon-lit, beat-driven worlds where kinetic rhythms meet playful sonic futurism. It is music built for movement, contemplation, and the ecstatic strangeness of possibility. Their approach borrows the endurance and patience of minimalism, but they subvert minimalism’s austerity with grit, distortion, and physicality. The result is music that feels alive in motion: constantly shifting, tightening, unfurling, and mutating even when its core pulse remains unbroken.
At the centre is the duo’s uncanny rhythmic intuition: drums that pulse with krautrock steadiness, bass lines that swing between monolithic foundation and crude melodic insistence. Together, these elements create a sonic environment that feels both mechanical and deeply human, ritualistic yet instinctual.
One of the album’s most striking achievements is its analogue warmth. In an era dominated by pristine digital surfaces, JeGong embrace imperfection: human element in every beat and modulation. “Gomi Kuzu Can,” is hand-built, lovingly assembled from circuitry, intuition, and raw creative impulse. This tactile quality is precisely what makes the album’s danceability so impactful. In blending organic rhythm with retro-electronic brightness, they’ve created a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly new.
