SQ Mice - SQMice (2026)

Protopost and Disques de la Spirale converge to unveil the very first extended release of the German-American-French group SQ Mice, freshly recorded from Paris's underground scene.

A collection of widely divergente songs and recordings, carefully sequenced to mess with any expectation. Spanning from no-wave gestures to the scent of post-rave nostalgia, this debut album evokes the electric stasis of early Seefeel songs mixed in the lofi manner of Dj Funk, where the liminal guitar of a John Lurie soundtrack meets the tape distorted drum machine of Belgian BeNe GeSSeRIT.

Captivatingly sung in three different languages by Madita Schrott, who deftly navigates the record's bursts of noise, microtonal synths and squelching basslines. SQ Mice presents a very unique blend of electronic music with a strange, tangy rock aftertaste. Don't you call this odd mixture post-punk tho, SQ mice is a style by itself! It comes from Squeamhy, a tasteful redux of youth culture, reclaiming the sound of their older siblings and rising above the stricture of genre, in a very distinctive fashion.
