Geins't Nait was founded in Nancy, France, in 1986 by Thierry Merigout and Vincent Hachet, both students at the Architecture School of Nancy. A year later Laurent Petitgrand joined the band. Their sound is often described as an equivalent of bands like Einsturzende Neubauten, Coil or Test Dept., but Geins't Nait is not pure classic Industrial. While Geins't Nait offers rough pieces of music as an extension of its punk attitude, Petitgand refines them to create some musicality within the post-industrial collages, adding guitars, piano, and classical instruments. Geins't Nait and Laurent Petitgand sharpen sounds, giving them a kind of balance and density and ensuring that the musical language evokes a deep experience. Their music is raw and fascinating, and largely influenced by Surrealists and Situationists. Their early albums were released by French label Permis De Construire. Recently, the group has collaborated with British electronic musician Robin Rimbaud aka Scanner. On this album Thierry Merigout is joined by his daughter Lo.
