The Mutual Torture pays homage to their early ’80s heroes, drawing deeply from post-punk paranoia, alien soundscapes, and raw improvisation. Their sound captures a coolness that burns cold under the red sun, channeling structure, order, and over a dozen transcendental messages. This year, they captivated audiences with debut performances at Waking Life festival, Kantine am Berghain, and Stroeja Bulgaria.

With a conceptual approach that channels the genre’s pioneering spirit and experimental edge, The Mutual Torture is a German-Chilean trio ready to tour their album. The band consists of Tobias Freund (drum machines, electronics), André Schöne (bass), and Javiera González (mesmerizing vocals).
