!! TIME CHANGE!! PAVILION ~ PONTOON

~ What the hell is a duck whistle doing in an aggressive rap track? And how does a violin fit into that — or a gospel-inspired orchestra? What is this strangely familiar yet completely unheard melodic world? And while we’re at it, what is this overall experience that pulls from every genre, yet sounds like nothing else? Pavilon.

The alternative neofolk-punk rap duo is formed by a pair of brothers. Áron Irlanda (KUVIK) crafts beats using violin, guitar, kazoo, piano, and various samples — creating something that feels like a genre mashup, drawing at once from folk, blues, rock, techno, drum & bass, and of course, rap. On top of this musical blend, Kristóf Irlanda (KAIIER) spits his often provocative lines.
Music and lyrics, form and content, classic and progressive elements all meet in a sound that feels both authentic and deeply personal.

Do we need to overexplain it? Not really. They might not even know what they’ve put on the table — but that’s kind of the point. They came to shake things up.
