Maraudeur

Maraudeur is a band based in Leipzig, Germany even though a few of the members live elsewhere in nearby countries. They play lo-fi post-punk with a lot of jagged edges and a DIY approach that is somewhat reminiscent of early '80s bands like Wire. Their songs have similarly stripped down melodic bits wrapped in a raw sound. The two bass guitars who are at the driver's seat setting the grooves also give them a distinctive tone. Their music has a playful upbeat feel along the lines of Bodega minus the manic energy. They are generally comfortable with dissonance but do not go as far in that regard as bands like Palm or Palberta do. They sing in French, German, and English, and do so with a nice sway.
